EIKON - The Life of Greek Poatraits

研究项目“EIKON -希腊肖像的生活”汇集了一群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世纪到公元前1世纪的肖像雕像，这些雕像突出地塑造了古希腊的视觉文化。这是第一次，这些肖像雕像的生活从他们建立的时候，直到他们的破坏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，转移等进行各种转换，挪用和重新语境化。由于这是传统，接受和转换的动态过程，这是希腊肖像使用的特点，肖像画应该在这个过程中，并在其媒体，文化和社会背景下解释。该项目结合了对希腊肖像的系统和示范性研究。这些研究并不关注设立肖像的主要原因及其信息，而是关注肖像雕像的（再）使用，以描述其文化和交流功能的动态。为了这种现代语境方法的目的，结合考古学，金石学和历史证据是必要的。这些研究领域在法国和德国有着悠久而不同的研究传统。EIKON的目的是让他们进行相互的，批判的和富有成效的讨论。两个视角是研究计划的中心：肖像的真实的使用，即肖像实践，如加冕，重新工作，仪式等，EIKON的预期目标将通过出版专著来实现，这些专著涉及到不同的，迄今为止尚未研究过的现象在这个研究领域，并通过一个全面的，系统的结构化研究，以手册的形式对希腊肖像的生活。此外，与Ecole francaise d 'Athenes一起，将开发第一个与Delos肖像相关的所有相关证据的综合数据库，从而为研究古希腊肖像的使用和背景提供最知名和最重要的地方之一的证明。此外，在两个研究希腊肖像生活的最重要的研究地点进行的实际研究将相互对比：提洛和帕加马，迄今为止，德国和法国的机构在很大程度上相互隔离。在德洛斯和帕加马举行古代肖像画会议的目的是比较希腊化世界这两个主要城市中心肖像的使用和生活，从而进一步促进不同研究传统的结合以及德国和法国研究团队在古典考古学和视觉研究领域的合作。

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.
