Narratological interest

I work on the literary and documentary texts of the Early Christianity (I-IVth CE), particularly on Luke-Acts, the Gospel of Judas, the Epistle to the Hebrews, and Clement of Alexandria. I am interested in decephering all the mechanisms of the reading and any indication about the readers. I try always to consider a text as an historical artefact and as a literary and textual object. Combining cultural studies, classical history and philosophy, I am also attentive to the narrativity of a text. I am particularly interested in charactarisation, in link to the plot.
