Biography

Josep San Ruperto is graduated in History from the Universitat de València (2012) and got a PhD in Early Modern History (2017) with the thesis ‘Transnational Entrepreneurs’, awarded by the Fundació Noguera and published in 2019. He has visited several research centers such as the European University Institute, La Sapienza. Università di Roma and the University of Exeter. During his predoctoral and postdoctoral career he has participated in different research projects funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness. 

He has investigated the circulation of people and objects during the process of first globalization, with special attention to social and cultural practices within the framework of the historiographical renewal of global and transnational history. His contributions have been in dialogue with the reshaping of studies on the seventeenth-century Mediterranean and the conception of the globalization process, overcoming structuralist paradigms of interpretation and analyzing contexts of opportunity and resilience in times of crisis and difficulties through the analysis of subjects, ‘national’ communities and the political and imagined borders.

Currently, one of her main lines of research lies in the inclusion of the history of emotions, gender and cultural history to understand first global world, with an interdisciplinary project between history and literature in which he pays special attention to gender issues of global travel authors and their encounters. It aims to understand how witnesses of the past served in the discourses that glorify global political and mercantile culture and how important these works were in the configuration of otherness (gender, racial, national) formulated in an era of connections.

He participates as a member of the research group of the project ‘EMODER. Emociones de la Modernidad. Sentidos y significados globalesa través del género, el imperio y la nación (ss. XVII-XIX)’, funded by the Consellería de Educación, Universidades y Ocupación (CIGE 2022/103 www.emoderuv.com ); as well as the project “Ganar y perder en las sociedades de losterritorios hispánicos del Mediterráneo occidental durante la Edad Moderna (WINLOSE)”, funded by the Ministerio de Ciencia e innovación (PID 2022-142050NB-C21).
