Projektbeschreibung
Ein genauerer Blick auf die fahrenden Literaten und Musiker der hellenistischen Zeit
Das EU-finanzierte Projekt PTANOIS POSIN (MSCA-IF-GF, La Sapienza, Rom - CHS Harvard), untersucht die „Poeti vaganti“-Bewegung der hellenistischen Periode. Die fahrenden Literaten und Musiker reisten durch das hellenistische Griechenland und traten auf den berühmten Bühnen der hellenistischen Zentren auf, stets auf der Suche nach Ruhm, Anerkennung und Geld. Die Epigraphik zeugt von diesem kulturellen und volksnahen Phänomen, das parallel zur Hofliteratur in Erscheinung trat. Durch das Sammeln der umfangreichen Daten, die durch die Epigraphik zur Verfügung stehen und die auch von einem digitalen Produkt profitieren, will dieses Projekt Licht auf das Phänomen der „Poeti vaganti“ werfen. Ziel sind vielfältige Einblicke in die Geschichte, die darstellenden Künste und die Gesellschaft des Hellenismus sowie eine Neubewertung des laufenden Diskurses über die kulturelle Produktion.
Ziel
Various reasons can inspire a travel. Travelling for art implies embracing new challenges, being prone to staying in the limelight and to taking risks, chasing glory, rewards, and money. Throughout the Hellenistic period and beyond, itinerant professionals of literacy and music travelled around Greece for all the above. The endeavours, paths, stories of the “poeti vaganti” -so called after the preliminary study by Guarducci (MAL 1927-1929)- are mainly documented by epigraphy, allowing us to envision a cultural and popular phenomenon that run parallel to court literature. Unknown artists and accomplished intellectuals showed off on all the renowned stages of the Hellenistic centres, delivering their performances at festivals, sacred celebrations, and occasions that gathered audience from the territory and abroad. Although the compositions of itinerant artists are sporadically preserved being mainly intended for oral use, epigraphy provides us a large spectrum of valuable elements leading through the reconstruction of the Hellenistic performative life. The study of inscriptions shows three main osmotic levels allowing us to interpret correctly the data and reach out the essence of the “movement” of itinerant professionals of the arts. The central point of this scenario is Travel, as the title of this project indicates: the expression from a Tanagra epigram (IG VII 530) “ptanois posin”, i.e. with winged feet, enshrines the essence of itinerant arts. Travel leads to disclose Performance, studied by typology and nature, and Travellers, traced in their stories and careers. This project, which obtained the Seal of Excellence in MSCA-IF-GF-2016 and also benefits from a digital version (to be developed with the CHS Harvard University partnership), investigates the “poeti vaganti” phenomenon that captures multiple glimpses of history, performative arts, and society of the Hellenism, while providing a reassessment of the ongoing discourse on cultural production of this period.
