Minoan art depicts a broad repertoire of gestures. From images on signet rings and gemstones to figurines of worshippers and deities through to wall-paintings, the importance of gesture-making male and female, human and supernatural beings permeated a variety of contexts of cultural and social life in Minoan Crete. Given the fact that written sources do not provide us with any information about related purposes, meanings and circumstances, these Images, their formulaic nature notwithstanding, offer the most promising body of evidence to address the who, when and where of Minoan action and interaction. However, a systematic study of gestures across the pictorial media has not been undertaken in Minoan archaeology until this day. The aim of this project is to carry out the first general study of gestures depicted in late Middle and Late Minoan art (c. 1700 to 1100 BC). Other than previous studies, it will cover all kinds of pictorial media depicting humans in action and communicative interaction. A methodology combining semiotic iconographic analysis with a contextual approach will be applied in a pragmatic structural approach to the use of gestures in both pictorial and physical contexts of Bronze Age Crete and related areas. To this end, contextual data will be drawn not only from pictorial scenes but also from archaeological find-contexts and from the production and usage of the objects on which the images of gesturing figures appear. By tracing the patterns of appearance of each gesture through media, space and time, the aim is to reconstruct the contextualization of individual gestures and to pinpoint the circumstances which prompted the performance of gestures within certain situations of Minoan cultural life and social practice. A database containing both an object catalogue and descriptions of pictorial units and relations between them will form the basic tool to reconstruct the groups of relationships connected to each individual gesture. The resulting networks will be visualized as concept maps, which are introduced as a new heuristic tool to enhance the organisation, representation and analysis of networks of entities and relations. The concept maps will be used in the main analysis of gestures and their structural and pragmatic embedding within the pictorial and locational contexts of Bronze Age Crete and related areas. Working on the abstract level of spatial and conceptual relations deduced from images, objects and contexts, a profound understanding of people, objects, situations, locations, actions and interactions associated with gesture-making in Minoan art will be created. In a final step, the validity of the overall conceptual structure representing the nexus of gestures in Minoan life and ritual for the interpretation of selected individual objects depicting gesturing humans will be assessed, illustrating the advances in understanding Minoan gestures resulting from this project.

米诺斯艺术描绘了一个广泛的剧目的姿态。从图章戒指和宝石上的图像到崇拜者和神灵的雕像，再到壁画，男性和女性，人类和超自然生物的手势的重要性渗透到克里特岛的文化和社会生活的各种背景中。鉴于书面资料没有为我们提供任何有关相关目的、意义和情况的信息，这些图像尽管具有公式化的性质，但提供了最有希望的证据，以解决米诺斯行动和互动的人、时间和地点。然而，直到今天，米诺斯考古学还没有对整个图像媒介中的手势进行系统的研究。该项目的目的是进行第一次一般性研究的姿态描绘中晚期和晚期米诺斯艺术（c。公元前1700年至1100年）。除了以往的研究，它将涵盖各种图像媒体描绘人类的行动和沟通互动。结合符号学图像分析与上下文的方法将被应用在一个务实的结构方法，在青铜时代克里特岛和相关领域的图形和物理环境中使用的手势。为此，上下文数据将不仅从绘画场景，但也从考古发现的背景下，从生产和使用的对象上的手势数字的图像出现。通过追踪每一个手势在媒体、空间和时间中的出现模式，目的是重建个人手势的语境化，并查明在米诺斯文化生活和社会实践的某些情况下促使手势表现的情况。一个包含对象目录和图像单元及其之间关系的描述的数据库将形成重建与每个单独的手势相关的关系组的基本工具。由此产生的网络将被可视化为概念图，概念图被引入作为一种新的启发式工具，以增强实体和关系网络的组织、表示和分析。概念图将用于姿势的主要分析，以及它们在青铜时代克里特岛和相关地区的图像和位置背景中的结构和语用嵌入。从图像，物体和背景中推导出的空间和概念关系的抽象层次上工作，将创建对米诺斯艺术中与手势制作相关的人，物体，情况，位置，动作和互动的深刻理解。在最后一步，整体概念结构的有效性代表米诺斯生活和仪式的手势的关系，用于解释选定的个别对象描绘手势的人将进行评估，说明在理解米诺斯手势从这个项目产生的进步。
