Faculty Profile

|
||||
| Professor Novacich specializes in medieval literature. Her current research investigates theories and representations of the archive. She is interested in spaces such as the garden of Eden, Noah’s ark, and the underworld: spaces imbued with religious significance and associated with the activities of collection, exclusion, expulsion, and organization. Her book project uses these archival models and others like them to examine the methods, purposes, and problems of the codification of knowledge, the ordering of the past, and the narrative creation of new worlds. Other research and teaching interests include religious and gender studies, especially as they relate to each other during the medieval period; cartography; the cycle drama; and the relationship between medieval and early modern centuries. | ||||
