Накратко на български

Гръцки мраморени релефи, като стари надгробни паметници или храмови дарове, се проучват през пътя им от първоначалната функция до повторното им използване за украса в античността. Това помага да се разбере как тези предмети са формирали общата европейска идентичност и памет.

Greek Funerary and Votive Reliefs Reused for Display in the Ancient Mediterranean. A Long-term, Interdisciplinary, and Cross-cultural Approach

Many of the Greek and Roman antiquities that we see in Museums nowadays have had complex itineraries through time and space. They were not simply produced for a specific purpose, then been discarded and buried before being rediscovered in modern times. Already in antiquity some of them went through many transformations, being sometimes moved to different places and becoming part of new assemblages. REFRAME addresses Greek and Roman attitudes toward and interest in antique artefacts by focusing specifically on marble reliefs sculpted in Greece from the sixth to the second centuries BCE that after exhausting their original function as gravestones in cemeteries, or as votive gifts in sanctuaries were reused and put on display in a new context. Why, and how, were old Greek tombstones and small votive gifts capable of affecting people in different cultural areas and periods from Antiquity right through to our times? As Europeans, our shared identity and memory are deeply rooted in the process through which these reliefs were preserved to our days, from their reuse for display in Antiquity right through to current policies for protection and enhancement of Cultural Heritage. REFRAME traces the itineraries of these reliefs over time and space without privileging specific phases, in order to actualize the different times and places when and where they were active as well as to reactivate the different relations among people, other objects, and spaces they were - and are - part of. The project has achieved three main objectives: 1) It has established a new model for addressing Greek funerary and votive reliefs reused for display in antiquity by providing a new approach to this topic based on the itineraries of these objects over time and space as well as by adopting a multidisciplinary methodology (combining archaeology, art history, and natural sciences) for the study of the material. 2) It has provided new knowledge about the Greek and Roman attitudes toward and interest in antique artefacts and has disclosed new opportunities for comparative research in other historical periods and cultural areas. 3) It has developed a new museum communication strategy to bring knowledge to the public of the itineraries of Greek funerary and votive reliefs over time, bridging ancient and contemporary interest for antique artefacts.

Цел на проекта

The REFRAME Project will shed new light on the reuse for display of Greek marble funerary and votive reliefs in the Ancient Mediterranean. At the heart of the research are reliefs sculpted in Greece in the 6th-2nd centuries BCE that after exhausting their original function as gravestones in cemeteries, or as votive gifts in sanctuaries were reused and put on display in a new context. The major question raised by these artefacts is: Why, and how, were old Greek tombstones and small votive gifts capable of affecting people in different cultural areas and periods from Antiquity right through to our times? Current approaches have proven inadequate to answer this question. My research will establish a new interpretive model capable of illuminating the impact of these artefacts in their original contexts as well as over time and space, from their origin right through to their musealization. Thanks to its long-term, cross-cultural, and comparative approach, this research will provide us with new and in depth knowledge of the Greek and Roman attitudes toward and interest in antique artefacts, achieving a more inclusive understanding of ancient reuse, collecting, and antiquarianism. However, this project will also disclose new opportunities for comparative research in other historical periods and cultural areas, providing new scientific methods, tools, and networks to bridge ancient and contemporary attitudes toward and interest in antique artefacts. Further, this project will develop a new museum communication strategy in order to bring knowledge to the public of the itineraries of these reliefs over time, reframing the way museum visitors experience and understand these objects and re-empowering these reliefs to affect people with their presence and materiality, as they have done throughout their history. By gaining new competitive knowledge and skills, this project will empower me to achieve long-term scientific goals and to stabilize my career in research.
