Накратко на български

Древните гръцки симпозиуми, техните поезия и рисувани съдове се анализират чрез когнитивния подход. Това помага да се разбере как визуалното и вербалното мислене са взаимодействали при гърците и как това влияе на интерпретацията на изкуството им.

A Cognitively Inflected Aesthetics of the Greek Symposion

The most exciting and challenging development in the humanities in the last decade or so has been the recognition that literature and the arts are a fitting object of cognitive inquiry: literature and art in fact are cognition in action, they are both vehicle and instrument of human thought. No body of art lends itself better to be viewed in this way than the visual and verbal art of the ancient Greek symposion. This ritualized wine-drinking party of Greek male citizens was the occasion for the performance of much extant Greek lyric poetry as well as the context of use of most Greek black- and red-figure painted pottery. This project aimed to apply the documented advantages of a cognitively inflected approach to the particular case of the poetry and painted pottery of the ancient Greek symposion. Its objectives were to produce a methodology for applying the notion of embodied cognition to both the textual and visual sources belonging to the discourse of the symposion, and to attempt to explain the particular affordances of sympotic discourse, in order to explain in turn why sympotic discourse was such a successful way of thinking for Greeks of the archaic and Classical period (and consequently in later eras). In so doing it aimed to produce better interpretations of sympotic literature and painting than have thus far been available, but also to exploit the unique synergy of the language and images in sympotic discourse to cast new light on the peculiarities and interplay of visual and verbal cognition and thus contribute to the cognitive debate beyond the discipline of Classics.

Цел на проекта

The proposed research is a cognitively inflected analysis of the poetry and painted pottery of the ancient Greek symposion. The recognition that literature and art are fitting objects of cognitive inquiry has been the most exciting development in the humanities in recent years. The study of the symposion is an established but very vibrant area of the Classics. Despite the fact that the symposion lends itself particularly well to a cognitively inflected study, there has been no attempt to apply cognitive concepts in this area. This can be explained in part by the fact that Classics as a discipline has lagged behind other humanities disciplines in adopting cognitive approaches. The proposed research is therefore timely and needed. It will advance understanding of Greek literature and art, of the symposion as a locus of social and aesthetic exchange, and of the applicability of cognitive theory to the ancient classics. The study of sympotic poetry has long been my main research interest, making me a highly suitable candidate to conduct this research. Given the strength of the EHESS’s resources and its commitment to fostering research and researchers’ skills development, it is the ideal partner for the success of this research. The proposed Supervisor at the EHESS and the Mentor in Oxford are among the leading scholars worldwide in the respective subjects, ensuring the best support and likelihood of success. Holding a MSC Fellowship would be highly beneficial to my academic career and ensure my independence as a professional researcher.
