A Geometric Relational framework for General Relativistic theories

After reminding why relationality is the paradigmatic physical insight of General Relativistic theories, we discuss the bundle geometry of their field space.

In that context we present a framework that allows to systematically produce a diffeomorphism-invariant and manifestly relational reformulation of a theory. This approach is shown to encompass various constructions found in the literature, old and new.  We finish by stressing how the framework extends naturally to general-relativistic gauge field theories, and how it leadsnaturally to what we call 'relational quantization'.
