Abstract
Using a group of medieval romances as a case study and building on Lefebvre’s original proposition, the understanding of space and place changes with time and culture. The objective of this study is to delve into this issue. It proposes a preliminary exploratory methodology that, combining spatial technologies and a linguistic approach, and aims to facilitate the analysis of medieval narratives, accounting for the spatial complexity portrayed, as well as integrating and expediting the exploration of geographical, vague, and imaginary space and place in Humanities-based fields.
