Накратко на български

Древни гръцки ритуални пространства се анализират чрез 3D модели, за да се види как светлината и теренът влияят върху преживяването. Това помага да се разбере как архитектурата и времето са формирали вярата и паметта на хората в античността.

Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Ritual and Ancient Greek Experience of Sacred Spaces

The research project hosted by the Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology in Tarragona and enriched by the collaboration of the Religion, Cognition, and Culture Research Institute of Aarhus University, looks into advanced 3D modelling and spatio-temporal analyses and delves into research on the cognitive formation of space and experience in ancient Greek ritual performance. STAR-AGESS reconstructs key ancient religious spaces situated in dramatic landscapes by integrating architecture, topography, surrounding terrain, and ancient skyscapes into a virtual environment, which is then used to explore ritual performances and spatial movement. The cutting-edge techniques, methods, and approach use advanced 3D and VR modelling paired with cognitive analysis and offer precious spatio-temporal context of the sanctuaries. STAR-AGESS virtually explores the reconstructed environments at precise times of the year, day and night, when ritual performances may have taken place, in order to explore possible astronomical occurrences or light and shadow effects that may have influenced the asserted cosmological tenets and the spatial configuration of the rituals. Expanding our analytical toolkit, this exciting and unique for Greco-Roman Antiquity project, amplifies understanding of the function of the chronotope in ancient Greek sanctuaries by studying the elements impacting the shaping of memories and experience during real-life movement within these spaces. STAR-AGESS reveals a cognitive system present in ancient Greek religion, which created strong faith reinforcers, through Predictive Processing, Embodied Cognition, and Cognitive Governance. The analysis reveals the cognitive impact of religious encounters and how religious space and ritual timing may have negotiated belief, identity, and cosmovision in ancient Greek cult practice. STAR-AGESS does not only reveal the interaction of all these elements, but more significantly, delves into current theoretical approaches on the cognitive formation of space and experience in ritual performance.

Цел на проекта

The experience of religious ritual played a key role in ancient societies, as it negotiated ideas of cosmology and identity. By addressing the cosmos, participation in rituals forged ideas of belonging, which increased social cohesion and negotiated power permeating all aspects of society. Despite its importance, ancient Greek ritual experience has only been studied from static temporal and spatial viewpoints. Religious processions, open-air ritual re-enactments and performances operated in three-dimensional spaces, linked to the movement of the participants and affected by the play of light, shadows and celestial bodies visible at the time when they were held. These elements were instrumental in shaping the experience and memories of the attendants, influencing the society as a whole. STAR-AGESS will provide a new approach to the study of ancient Greek ritual practice by recreating immersive environments that incorporate ancient sky and astronomical simulations, horizons, detailed topography and architectural 3D models of the sanctuaries at Sounion, Aegina and Perachora. These three key case studies were selected as they have enough extant remains and written information to allow meaningful reconstructions in an extra-urban environment. They will be virtually explored at specific times of the day/night and year to gain insights into religious practice, ritual timing, astronomical connections, and into how they might have shaped experience and social memory through specific socio-mythical associations. To do so, the Experienced Researcher (ER) will reconstruct the total environment with the aid of targeted hands-on-research training, using advanced 3D techniques, landscape analysis and current theoretical approaches on the cognitive formation of space and experience in ritual performance. These methods will enhance the ER’s profile with cutting-edge techniques that will situate her at the forefront of research and boost her career.
