Pablo Acosta-García has been María Zambrano Postdoctoral Fellow (2021-2023) at the Seminario de estudios sobre el Renacimiento (SR), analyzing the materiality, collective composition, and censorship of a visionary book of sermons by the Franciscan abbess Juana de la Cruz (1481-1534). The primary outcome of this research is the monograph Liturgy and Revelation in the Book of the Conorte by the Abbess Juana de la Cruz (1481-1534), Leiden, Brill Publishing, forthcoming. He was formerly Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow (2019-2021) at the Institute of Medieval History of the Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf (Germany), where he developed the project ‘Late Medieval Visionary Women’s Impact in Early Modern Castilian Spiritual Tradition’ (WIMPACT), devoted to study the circulation and reception of Late medieval religious writing by/about women in Early Modern Iberia. His research interests include, but are not limited to spiritual literature, mysticism, female preaching, the European circulation and translation of religious writing, manuscript studies, and affective devotion.

He has published multiple articles and chapters in specialized publications, and an annotated Spanish translation of the Franciscan Tertiary Angela da Foligno’s Memoriale (Siruela, 2014). He has coedited Touching, Devotional Practices, and Visionary Experiences in the Late Middle Ages (Palgrave McMillan, 2019), and is also coediting A Companion to Angela of Foligno (Leiden, Brill Publishing, forthcoming). He is a member of the projects ‘INDEX. Censura, expurgación y lectura en la primera era de la imprenta. Los índices de libros prohibidos y su impacto en el patrimonio textual (ss. XVI-XVII)’; ‘Poetics and Politics in Early Modern Europe’; ‘Catálogo de santas vivas (1400-1550): hacia un corpus completo de un modelo hagiográfico femenino’, and ‘SORORES. Non-cloistered religious women in South Europe, 12^th-18^th centuries’ (École française de Rome / Casa Velázquez).

Within the project SOUNDSPACE, he is dedicated to both analyzing how the processions were designed to move the affections of the attendees and constructing a digital textual corpus that facilitates an in-depth exploration of the interplay between music, sound, devotion, and affection inherent in processional contexts.
