Description du projet
Les anciennes relations sociales comme guide de l’identité
L’identité en tant qu’ensemble immuable d’éléments représente un élément clé du débat naissant, en particulier autour de la Méditerranée. Cependant, il existe une tendance visant à redéfinir le concept d’identité au sein de nombreuses régions d’Europe. L’archéologie est également invitée à jouer un rôle actif dans ce débat. Le projet IDENTIS financé par l’UE se concentrera sur le développement des relations sociales à travers le temps dans l’ancienne Sardaigne entre 100 et 600 après JC. Il étudiera comment les communautés anciennes partageaient les relations sociales à travers des interactions avec le passé, le pouvoir et l’environnement proche. Le projet se concentrera sur les contextes funéraires de la période, sur la base des découvertes de la nécropole centre-ouest de la Sardaigne. Il fournira de nouvelles connaissances sur les implantations sous-explorées autour des nécropoles et sur les pratiques utilisées pour éviter les affrontements sociaux.
Objectif
Debates in today's Europe are often centred on identity discourse, especially in the Mediterranean, intended as a fixed package of un-mutable elements to preserve and defend. From many sides in Europe is now urged to redefine identity in its complexity. Archaeology ought to have a proactive role in this mission, due to its capacity to see through the verticality of time, breaking the here-and-now boundaries. Through this IF, I will contribute to this endevour, by focusing on social relationships’ development through time in antiquity. I will investigate how, to answer questions asked by the necessity their contemporary world, ancient communities of Sardinia dealt with social relationships by interacting with the materiality of the past, of power, and of the surrounding landscape. For the purpose, a study of funerary contexts of AD 100-600 Sardinia provides ideal conditions. Through the work, I will develop my doctoral study on west-central Sardinia's necropolises by relating them to both their surrounding landscape and the practices of interaction with the materiality of the past (respresented by re-opening and manipulation of ancient graves). These multi-dimensional relations escape over-simplistic identifications of identity with specific objects or practices only.
I will carry out the IF through the supervision of a landscape studies international authority, Sauro Gelichi, in Ca' Foscari Venice, and a secondment in the Museum of Broken Relationships, Zagreb, ending with an exhibition. I will carry out an archaeological survey of 4 rural necropolises, coordinate specialists' bone anlyses, and engage with a social interpretation of those data. Through them, I will provide new information on the so far unknown settlements feeding the necropolises, on how the Empire's productive strategy in the island changed both the agricultural land's organization and the social bonds at local level, and on what practices local communities adopted to overcome social breakages.
