GRK 1576: Value and Equivalence - The Genesis and Transformation of Values from an Archaeological and Anthropological Perspective

价值和对等是过去和现在所有社会的基本概念。此外，价值是物质事物的基本特征，其在文化中的嵌入取决于具有价值的属性。考古学和文化人类学为探索物体及其社会背景以及一般物质文化的研究提供了特定的能力，是特别适合处理价值和等同问题的两个学科。基于在广泛的不同领域和时代的明确定义的经验领域，研究培训小组的目标是实现价值和等价的更深入的理解。近年来，关于物质价值的社会定义如何构成的概念在国际辩论中受到越来越多的关注。因此，研究培训小组将通过其成员基于自己与话语相关的研究的积极参与，为参与学科的国际化做出贡献。计划中的论文主题围绕以下问题进行分组：（1）价值如何产生以及它们如何在社会中流通;（2）当物品被交易或运输超出文化界限时，价值观的转变。研究培训小组的主要挑战是将研究物质文化的方法能力与目前关于将价值观描述为事物特征的理论辩论联合收割机结合起来。价值的创造、流通和转化在很多情况下可以通过等价原则进行重构。考古学和文化人类学在他们自己的特定案例研究中探索这是如何可能的。因此，共同感兴趣的是，从不同的论文和跨学科的工作在更广泛的价值和等价的概念的理论收获。博士生在需要经验方法和理论能力的科学环境中实现他们的论文。他们将参加专门为考古学家和文化人类学家设计的结构化资格课程。一个实际的组成部分，在概念化的形式，规划和实现的博物馆展览被设想为该计划的一部分。

Value and equivalence are basic concepts in all societies, past and present. Moreover, value is a fundamental characteristic of material things, the embedding of which in a culture depends on the property of having value. Providing specific competencies for the exploration of objects and their societal context and for the study of material culture in general, archaeology and cultural anthropology are two disciplines particularly suited to dealing with questions of value and equivalence. Based on well-defined empirical fields in a wide range of different areas and epochs, the Research Training Group aims to achieve a deeper understanding of value and equivalence. Concepts on how societal definitions of material values are constituted have received growing attention in the international debate in recent years. Thus, the Research Training Group will provide a contribution to the internationalisation of participating disciplines by the active participation of its members based on their own research relevant to the discourse. The planned dissertation topics are grouped around the questions (1), how values are generated and how they circulate within a society, and (2), the transformations of values, when objects are traded or transported beyond cultural boundaries. The central challenge of the Research Training Group is to combine methodological capacities in the study of material culture with the current theoretical debate on the description of values as a characteristic of things. Creation, circulation and transformation of values can be reconstructed in many cases through the principle of equivalence. Archaeology and cultural anthropology explore how this is possible in their own particular case studies. The point of common interest is, therefore, the theoretical harvest from the different dissertations and the interdisciplinary work on a broader concept of value and equivalence. The doctoral candidates realise their dissertations in a scientific environment in which empirical methods as well as theoretical competencies are required. They will participate in a structured qualification programme specifically designed for archaeologists and cultural anthropologists. A practical component in the form of the conceptualisation, planning and realisation of a museum exhibition is envisioned as part of this programme.
