Abstract
This is a review article on some applications of generalised parabolic structures to the study of torsion free sheaves and -twisted Hitchin pairs on nodal curves. In particular, we survey on the relation between representations of the fundamental group of a nodal curve and the moduli spaces of generalised parabolic bundles and generalised parabolic -twisted Hitchin pairs on its normalisation as well as on an analogue of the Hitchin map for generalised parabolic -twisted Hitchin pairs.
