Human Representations
From TracingNetworksWiki
"Translating art and craft: Human representations, identities and social relations in the Late Bronze and Iron Age of Central Europe" is a sub project of Tracing Networks Programme
This project will study human representations in art north of the Alps, and their relationship to the Mediterranean. Both regions share a number of motifs featuring humans, which are part of the casting of new understandings of identity and society. Examining human representations on a range of object types, including bronze and pottery, will provide insights into the mechanisms of transmission of knowledge, technology and beliefs. Research into group identity will be backed up by an investigation of the human body in life and death.
