EIKON - The Life of Greek Poatraits

研究项目“Eikon--希腊肖像的生活”汇集了一批来自古典研究的法德学者，重点是古典考古学。它的主题是公元前5世纪到1世纪的肖像雕像，突出地塑造了古希腊的视觉文化。第一次，这些肖像雕像从建立到销毁的生命是一个研究项目的焦点：通过仪式实践、修改、重新使用、重新加工、新装置、转移等方式对它们进行各种改造、拨款和重新情境化。由于希腊肖像的使用是一个动态的传统、接受和转变的过程，肖像应该在这个过程中以及在其媒体、文化和社会背景下进行解释。该项目结合了对希腊肖像的系统和示范研究。这些研究的重点不是建立肖像及其信息的主要原因，而是肖像雕像的(重新)使用，以描述其文化和交流功能的动态。为了这一现代语境方法的目的，考古、金石学和历史证据的结合是必要的。这些研究领域在法国和德国有着悠久的历史和不同的研究传统。Eikon的目的是将他们带入相互、批判性和富有成效的讨论。研究计划的中心是两个视角：肖像的实际使用，即肖像实践，如加冕、重新制作、仪式等，以及它们不断变化的接受语境，即与重新使用、翻译和转移到新媒体有关的重新语境化。Eikon的预定目标将通过出版处理该研究领域迄今尚未研究的不同现象的专著来实现，以及通过以手册的形式全面、系统地研究《希腊肖像的生活》。此外，还将与法国雅典学院一起，建立第一个全面的数据库，其中包括在迪洛斯建立的与肖像有关的所有相关证据，从而为进一步研究古希腊肖像的使用和背景提供最著名和最重要的地方之一的证据。此外，在两个研究希腊肖像生活的最重要的研究地点的实际研究将相互对比：Delos和Pergamon，到目前为止，这两个地点基本上是由德国和法国的机构相互孤立地进行研究的。在Delos和Pergamon举行的古代肖像画会议的目的是比较这两个希腊化世界的主要城市中心的肖像的使用和生活，从而进一步促进不同研究传统的结合以及德国和法国在古典考古学和视觉研究领域的研究团队的合作。

The research project 'EIKON - The Life of Greek Portraits' brings together a Franco-German group of scholars from Classical Studies with an emphasis in Classical Archaeology. Its subjects are portrait statues of the 5th through the 1st Century BC, which shaped prominently the visual culture of ancient Greece. For the first time, the life of these portrait statues from the time of their setting up until their destruction is the focal topic of a research project: their various transformations, appropriations and re-contextualizations through ritual practices, revisions, re-use, re-working, new installations, transfers etc. Since it is this dynamic process of tradition, reception and transformation that characterizes the use of Greek portraits, portraiture should be explained within this process and within their media, cultural and social contexts.The project combines systematic and exemplary studies on Greek portraits. These studies are not focused on the primary reasons for setting up portraits and their messages, but on the (re-) use of portrait statues in order to describe the dynamics of their cultural and communicative functions. For the purpose of this modern contextual approach a combination of archaeological, epigraphic and historical evidence is necessary. These fields of research have long-living and different research traditions in France and Germany. It is a purpose of EIKON to bring them into mutual, critical and fruitful discussion. Two perspectives are in the center of the research program: the real use of portraits, that is portrait-practices, like crownings, re-workings, rituals, etc., and their changing contexts of reception, that is re-contextualization, related to re-use, translations and transfers into new media.The intended goals of EIKON will be reached by the publication of monographs dealing with different, so far not studied phenomena in this research field, and by a comprehensive, systematically structured study on the Life of Greek portraits in the form of a manual. In addition, together with the Ecole francaise d'Athenes, the first comprehensive database of all relevant evidence related to the portraits set up in Delos will be developed, thus providing the testimonia of one of the best known and most important places to study the use and context of portraits in ancient Greece for further research. Furthermore, the actual research at two well studied and most important sites for the study of Greek portrait life will be contrasted mutually: Delos and Pergamon, which hitherto are examined largely isolated from each other by German and French institutions. It is the aim of a conference on ancient portraiture in Delos and Pergamon to compare the use and life of portraits in these two major urban centers of the Hellenistic world and thus to further promote the combination of different research traditions and the cooperation of research teams from Germany and France in the field of classical archaeology and visual studies.
