My research will explore the role of normative power structures and communal judgements in producing and controlling medieval identities. It will do so by examining the identity of a medieval saint at the intersection of community identification and the formal framework of official authorisation. I will explore the existence of a 'discourse of sanctity' - a shared understanding of the conventions of sainthood - and how its expression in narrative formulations could construct specific identities (saintly or otherwise)within a canonisation trial. I will consider how far it is the juridico-legal format (as a system of reifying and formalising meaning captured from diffuse contexts) that gives these performances their social importance, and whether the use of rhetorical devices by deponents can show how broad sections of the population could employ technologies of power (legal processes, codification, authorisation) for their own purposes, such as promulgating a particular interpretation of sanctity.

我的研究将探讨规范的权力结构和公共判断在生产和控制中世纪身份的作用。它将通过在社区认同和官方授权的正式框架的交叉点检查中世纪圣人的身份来做到这一点。我将探讨“神圣话语”的存在——对圣徒惯例的共同理解——以及它在叙事形式中的表达如何在封圣审判中构建特定的身份（圣徒或其他）。我将考虑在多大程度上是司法-法律格式（作为一种从分散的语境中捕获的意义的物化和形式化的系统）赋予了这些表演其社会重要性，以及辩证者对修辞手段的使用是否可以显示出人口的广泛部分如何为自己的目的使用权力技术（法律程序，编纂，授权），例如颁布对神圣性的特定解释。
