▼ In post-Agreement Northern Ireland, issues of cultural identity have risen to the forefront of regional political and communal discourse. Demands for equality, recognition, and cultural parity of esteem on the part of Protestant and Catholic communities often unfold through disputes over contested cultural expressions such as flags, murals, parades, heritage sites, monuments, and languages. Problematically, intercommunal hostilities increase when groups feel as though their esteemed symbols are being denigrated or threatened. As both state agencies and communal organizations work to resolve these disputes through policymaking and peacebuilding initiatives, local entrepreneurial actors are simultaneously refashioning these cultural symbols to make the area more attractive to tourists and potential investors. This study investigates the role of tourism development, place marketing, and urban staging in cultural identity politics and conflict transformation in post-Agreement Belfast, the center of Northern Ireland’s tourism industry. The primary argument is that these image-led regeneration strategies physically and discursively refashion the built environment and the contested narratives expressed therein. Furthermore, this process can either exacerbate or inhibit intergroup conflict through the development of more exclusive or inclusive narratives and representations of conflict respectively. Based on interdisciplinary theoretical research, empirical on-site study (2005-2011), and interviews with local actors and stakeholders, this dissertation presents: 1) a conceptual analysis of the convergence of Tourism and urban staging in cultural identity politics and conflict transformation, 2) an analysis of tourism development and urban regeneration in Belfast following the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement (1998), and 3) an investigation of the impact of tourism development on Two cultural expressions that have long served to reinforce divisions between Catholic and Protestant communities, namely Belfast ́s political Murals and the Irish language; the latter is examined by looking at the Current attempt to retheme Catholic West Belfast as an urban Gaeltacht Quarter. By examining the ways in which tourism and place marketing act upon monuments, ideology, memory, and social conflict within the urban environment, this dissertation establishes the often-overlooked significance of urban entrepreneurial development on reconstruction, identity politics, and peacebuilding in cities seeking to overcome social and spatial division.

▼ This dissertation discusses Kazimir Malevich’s post-abstract, post-suprematist figurative work by drawing upon semiotic and post-structuralist theories, addressing questions such as: Why did Malevich return to painting figures after adamantly abandoning them for pure abstraction? How do these figures re-figure or resist abstraction? Why did he paint inexact replicas of his own pre-Suprematist works, and why did he give them dates that were similar, or even prior, to the dates of their prototypes? How did he manage to put on an exhibition of his intellectually challenging, subversive works in 1929, at the first moments of sustained state support for proto-socialist realism, at one of the most important museums of Russian art in the Soviet Union, the Tretiakov Gallery in Moscow? How are contemporaneously contested identities of the artist, the Russian peasant, and the Soviet citizen reflected and refracted in the paintings displayed at this exhibition? The first chapter comprises an introductory survey of pertinent scholarly literature, and discusses methodological grounding within both Russian and Western sources. The second chapter concerns a semiotic reading of the circumstances and documents surrounding the 1929 “retrospective” exhibition, which for the most part displayed paintings composed in the eighteen months prior to the exhibition, but inscribed with dates from the 1900’s and 1910’s. This chapter includes a close reading of Alexei Fedorov-Davidov’s pamphlet-catalogue accompanying the exhibition, particularly within the context of early Stalinist Marxist discourse, and it discusses how the artist’s images of peasants confounded contemporary systems of representation and disrupted attempts to secure a sense of Soviet identity. Chapter three proposes that postmodern discourses, as opposed to the discourses of modernity within which Malevich’s works are most often examined, might be fruitfully employed to frame the artist’s circa-1929 work. The fourth chapter considers the ways in which certain paintings from the 1929 exhibition explicitly duplicate works from earlier in Malevich’s career, many of which had been destroyed, lost, or otherwise rendered inaccessible. Attention is given to how these paintings participated in contemporaneous and more recent discourses of originality, the copy, and conventionality.

▼ A major theme in works by later Italian Futurists of the 1930s was what was called aero-aesthetics in which the artists drew their inspiration from the act and fantasy of aviation. Focusing on the perception of aeropainting, or a eropittura, within both Futurism and Fascism, I am concerned in this dissertation to examine the role of the feminine within the idea of machine aesthetics and especially the ways in which women of the movement attempted to interrupt or realign the gendered understandings of technology and aviation within the culture as a whole. Here it has been helpful to draw on particular notions of the body and the gaze found within post-modernism to argue that certain of its positions are prefigured within this area of production. The first chapter examines Futurism’s fascination with flight and argues that while many Futurist aeropainters sympathized with Fascism’s celebration of aviation technology as a means to visual and military domination, some women aeropainters chose to emphasize elements of the non-visual in their work. The second chapter argues that women aeropainters interrupted the cultural discourse of masculinity surrounding aviation by participating in the physical act of aviation and by redeploying ideas about dynamic machines in the service of an art that saw the expansion of creative liberty as the greatest consequence of Futurist aero aesthetics. The third and fourth chapters will look more closely at two of these women Futurists whose paintings demonstrate opposing political and theoretical views. Chapter three will situate Benedetta Cappa Marinetti’s art in the context of her relationships to F.T. Marinetti and Giacomo Balla to demonstrate how her abstract painting reveals a pre-essentialist position that reinterprets Futurist ideas in her celebration of the feminine. Chapter four will introduce Marisa Mori to English-language scholarship and examine how her introspective art frequently resists notions of biological determinism.

▼ Archaeological museums and museum displays help to broadcast ideological statements, particularly concerning the formation of national identities, yet the ways in which the messages being transmitted have been articulated within the actual spaces devoted to the display of artifacts are still far from being thoroughly studied. More specifically, little attention has been dedicated to some of the most immediate means through which a museum interprets the past for the modern-day visitor, such as its plan, the arrangement of its collections in the galleries, and its visiting paths. The dissertation examines the physical features a group of archaeological museums in Italy, Greece, and Israel, three countries which became independent less than two centuries ago, and discusses how they shape the visitor's perception of the artifacts and encourage him or her to see them as elements of a meaningful narrative. The research embraces institutions of different scope and size (national, regional, local), and considers the history of each display, not just its present appearance. The following museums are analyzed: in Italy, the branch of the Roman National Museum installed in the Palazzo Altemps, the City Archaeological Museum in Bologna, and the Archaeological Environmental Museum in San Giovanni in Persiceto, near Bologna: in Greece, the National Archaeological Museum in Athens and the archaeological museums in Nafplio and Atalanti; in Israel, the Bible Lands Museum in Jerusalem and the Archaeological Museum Beit Miriam, Kibbutz Palmachim. Reviewing the individual museums and establishing comparisons among them allows to address several important questions: the function of archaeology and its display in national states, especially when they have to incorporate an ancient and distinguished past in their process of self-definition; the sometimes tense cohabitation of artifacts entering museums as part of collections and objects discovered in excavations; the different ways of dealing with visitors, as expressed for example in rules and regulations concerning visits, and the behavior expected from them, sometimes not too different from the conduct associated with places of worship; the practical issues and challenges faced by museums, such as availability of space, distribution of weight, lighting, and climatic conditions.

▼ This study explores the changing nature of household cult practices, a currently under-studied category of evidence, in the Roman province of Achaia, from the first century BCE to the fourth century CE, with reference to pre-Roman domestic religion. The primary aim of this investigation is to understand to what extent Roman cult practices were integrated in select households across Roman Achaia. Household religion is an ideal indicator for cultural change and shifting cultural identities; it was essential in both Greek and Roman cultures and vital to the survival of the family unit and the wider community, but was conducted differently in these two cultures. To trace these changes archaeologically, the arrangement and function of rooms within the house are analyzed, and a specific identifiable group of finds are studied contextually. It is argued that the differences lie in the selection of deities, the location of household shrines and their accessibility, both physically and visually, to inhabitants and visitors. The framework within which cultural change is analyzed is “Romanization” that is re-interpreted as “cultural interaction,” emphasizing the impact that local communities had in shaping Roman domestic religion in the Roman Empire. To document the dynamic and complex nature of Roman culture and its relation to pre-Roman religious activities within the province, five sites were selected from Achaia: Corinth, Patras, Messene, Athens, and the Piraeus. The sites represent variations between colonies and free cities, different economic interests, different political relationships with Rome, urban development, and concentrations of Roman immigrants. The findings are compared and contrasted with those from Delos, the first substantial Italian community in the Greek world, in order to enrich understanding of the complex cultural interactions in the Roman Empire. The results of this study demonstrate the validity of this approach towards household religion as a type of household assemblage, and the variations of discrepant experiences of the household units, the communities, and the regions which composed the Roman Empire.

▼ The dissertation contextualizes Paul Gauguin’s self-portraits within the nineteenth-century notion of androgyny. The first chapter explores Gauguin’s textual figurations of self in relation to the contemporary medical and philosophical understanding of androgyny and to the literary representations of an androgyne in the works by Honoré de Balzac, Flora Tristan, Théophile Gautier, and Joris-Karl Huysmans. Gauguin’s texts include a view of androgyny both as a figure of transcendence and as a figure of transgression in accordance with the earlier and later nineteenth-century views, respectively. The second chapter focuses on Gauguin’s visual images of androgyny in his self-portraits and their connection to the images of androgyny in the works of Gustave Moreau, Puvis de Chavannes, Edgar Degas, and Paul Cézanne. Like his written images, Gauguin’s pictorial representationsof androgyny reveal it as both transcendence and transgression. The manner in which he resolves his anxiety aboutthe threat of transgression varies between his two categories of self-portraits. In both categories Gauguin incorporates an element of femininity that challenges the gender binary. In the embodiment self-portraits, this element is part of the image of self and in the insertion self-portraits, it is part of the secondary images. The emphasized performativeness of his androgyny in the first category and the distancing of the transgressiveelement from the image of self in the second category allow Gauguin to neutralize his anxiety about androgynous identification. The third chapter situates Gauguin’s ambivalent attitude toward androgyny in his figurations of self in terms of colonial discourse and psychoanalysis. Gauguin’s self-portraits can be seen to draw onthe colonial split of the “primitive” and the “civilized” identities. His images of transcendent and perverse androgyny reveal his desires and anxieties about the “primitive” state of undifferentiation. In Freudian terms, the use of the fetishistic dynamic of stereotyping allows Gauguin to deflect his anxieties. In Kleinian terms, the desire for androgyny can be seen as a desire for reparation of the depressive position and the deflection of anxieties as a defensive reaction of the schizoid-paranoid position.

▼ This study considers the distribution and consumption trends of metal tools from the second millennium BC over a wide geographical area including Crete, the Greek mainland, the Greek islands, Cyprus, Anatolia, and Syria-Palestine. An exhaustive database of 5300+ tools was compiled from these regions and time frame. While copper and copper-alloy implements are attested in the third millennium and earlier, the significant advancement of the metallurgical industry in the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean is directly associated with the quantity and diversification of metal tools during the Middle and Late Bronze Age. The progression of craft industries is also related to the development and production of specific and sometimes specialized tool forms. The degree of pre- and proto-historic interaction among multiple regions is evaluated through the lens of metal tools, items that were neither bulk nor elite goods. The primary research questions are 1) to assess the meaning of patterns in tool consumption and 2) whether it is possible to identify traveling craftspersons in the archaeological record through such distributions. Analysis of the large database begins with a broad overview of the tool choices made in each region and time period. Implements are classified into discernible functional categories such as agricultural, metallurgical, utilitarian, tools for small crafting, and carpentry/masonry. Given the strong correlation between the evolution of metal tools and architecture, it should be no surprise that carpentry/masonry implements are the preferred tools throughout the second millennium BC, and therefore much of the study’s focus is on this category. A meticulous investigation of the carpentry/masonry tool types identifies their distribution by area and site, highlighting regional and local tool preferences. A thorough examination of tools from metal hoards and shipwrecks reveals the existence of tool kits, and this observation has important implications for reassessing how hoards are interpreted. While it is difficult to track the movement of craftspersons from tools alone, distinctive trends of selection and cross-regional comparison of tool types demonstrate identifiable links among several regions. The exact meaning of the interregional tool similarities is less clear, though one may speculate on the possibilities of deliberate craft interaction and exchange.

▼ Early twentieth-century Munich was a leading intellectual and cultural center, as well as a society in crisis, experiencing growing tension between the materialistic bourgeoisie and the disillusioned intelligentsia, while moving ever closer to war. This pervasive sense of societal malaise became the target of several alternative social critiques, including one, which I address here, calling for a spiritual revolution. Many artists and intellectuals began to see such a revolution as necessary to change their world and create a better life. For the Russian artist, Vasily Kandinsky (1866-1944), and the German artist, Franz Marc (1880-1916), foremost among those extolling a spiritual struggle, eschatological concepts provided a means to challenge the present experience of suffering they perceived within society, offering hope for a spiritual transformation and a new future. This dissertation’s goal is to locate within the German apocalyptic tradition the thought and practice of these two modern artists working in Munich during the early twentieth century. The focus is from 1896 through World War I to Marc’s death in 1916, paying close attention to 1911-1912, crucial years for the Blaue Reiter artists’ group founded by Kandinsky and Marc. During this time their ideas and practices took shape, including the development of what I claim to be their apocalyptic perspectives. Of primary concern is how both artists integrated the intellectual and artistic discourse of apocalypse into their experience and the consequences this had for their art and thought. I analyze each artist’s apocalyptic mindset itself and consider its implications. Guiding this inquiry is the following question: as a product of a distinct historical, cultural, social and political situation, does such a worldview perhaps mask—or unmask—a troubling ideology, and does an element of danger thus reside within its hope and optimism? Moreover, by adopting a traditional frame of reference as a means of confronting the issues of their day, are these pioneering modernists in part anti-modern? This ideological exploration of the apocalyptic mindset, drawing on modern European intellectual history, revises a concept of modernism imposed on Kandinsky and Marc, thereby making a contribution to the larger discourse of modernity.

▼ This dissertation examines the written and artistic production of the Israeli-born artist, psychoanalyst, and feminist theorist Bracha L. Ettinger, whose practice of artworking incorporates her theoretical development of the Matrix and Metramorphosis into the act of painting. Ettinger’s work offers a feminist re-negotiation of the terms of Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis within the realm of aesthetics and ethics, issues that are universal, yet tied to specific experiences between the I and non-I, the known and the unknown. Ettinger’s theoretical and artistic advancements promote connection rather than separation, expanding borders from the limited social constructions of interaction to the limitless feminine space of the matrixial web. Ettinger, in her series of paintings entitled <i>Eurydice</i>, proposes a matrixial re-working of the mythological figure of Eurydice, moving away from the classical emphasis on separation and loss in favor of connection and retrieval. In Ettinger’s feminist version of the myth, “looking back” is a positive and ethical gesture of remembrance, an act which weaves together the past and the present into the surface of her paintings, and offers an arena for potential future encounters. The porous spaces of Ettinger’s work present passageways which allow the viewer and reader to move through and between the various levels of text and image, theory and art, in a constant shift between modes of production. Ettinger’s ethical aesthetics intends art as a latent space of healing, a borderspace of connections which a repositive, active and aware. Ettinger incorporates text, photographs, India ink line drawings, oil paint, and recycled paper into her artwork, a process of artworking digitally manipulated by her hands and by the photocopy machine that reproduces the grains of photographic images and words. The photographs that Ettinger uses are culled from personal and historical archives, documents which both directly and obliquely reference the traumatic and destructive history of the Holocaust, a practice which I relate to the work of French artist Christian Boltanski. The images that Ettinger employs function as mnemonic prompts within her paintings, urging the viewer to engage in an ethical act of remembrance in the role of what she names the wit(h)ness.

▼ This dissertation examines the establishment, occupation, and abandonment of Kastro Kallithea, a Hellenistic city in Achaia Phthiotis, Thessaly, through data collected from the intensive urban survey of the site. Kastro Kallithea is an orthogonal grid planned city with distinct zones of activities enclosed within a massive circuit wall running 2 km in length. The ancient name of the site is unknown, although it has been tentatively identified by Friedrich Stählin as the ancient polis of Peuma, known from coins and inscriptions. The site was founded in the late fourth century and was occupied into first century B.C.E. There is no evidence for earlier habitation, however Iron Age tombs surrounding the base of the hill attests to the occupation of the surrounding territory. By identifying the use of space in terms of domestic, civic, economic, and military functions through the distribution of the architecture and artifacts, the layout of the city at its foundation and the reconfiguration of the space throughout the duration of the city is examined. In addition, this study examines the incentives of urban living in the Hellenistic period and assess to what extent Kastro Kallithea fits in with the historical circumstances with respect to urban planning, shifts in settlement patterns, and fluctuations in urbanization visible in Thessaly. The urban survey allowed us to map and record all surface remains and establish a chronology of the site, its spatial organization, and loci of activities in order to contextualize the urban center of Kastro Kallithea within its historical and geographical regional network. In light of the paucity of historical and archaeological research in Thessaly, this study contributes to the ongoing dialogue of survey methodology and interpretation of surface assemblages, particularly in non-ploughzones, and supplements our understanding of urban organization of Hellenistic cities and settlement patterns in Thessaly and aims to reinstate Thessaly into the broader history of ancient Greece.

▼ Images of the Ptolemaic cosmos were produced in all three major early medieval successors to the Roman Empire (the Carolingian, the Byzantine, and the Umayyad states). Early medieval cosmological images remained formally and iconographically close to their late antique models. They thus provide a point of comparison allowing examination of the changing functions of images. Two primary functions of ancient cosmological images are identified: the epistemological (images as carriers of information about the Ptolemaic world system) and the symbolic (images as signs of “the cosmos”within broader signifying systems). In early medieval Byzantine art the epistemological function predominated. The Vatican Ptolemy (Vaticanus Graecus 1291), a manuscript produced ca. 750, was a manual intended to ensure imperial access to natural-scientific knowledge. It may thus be compared to contemporary metrological monuments, in particular the Horologion of Hagia Sophia and the Anemodoulion, erected by emperors in Constantinople. Its apparent lack of progeny is related to a jealous “economy of knowledge” that developed from social antagonisms between centralizing emperors and elites determined to maintain independent sources of power. Charlemagne‟s silver table and the Cathedra Petri have traditionally been considered props for staging the Carolingian ruler as a cosmocrator through use of cosmological imagery. However, in the Carolingian world, as in the Byzantine, the epistemological function of cosmological imagery predominated. The proliferation of manuscripts with cosmological imagery, particularly in the period between ca. 800 and 820, provides a contrast to Byzantine scarcity, and evidence for a porous “economy of knowledge.” Cosmological images aided in the formation of identities shared between state functionaries and hereditary elites. Cosmographic imagery, both terrestrial (the mosaics of the Umayyad Mosque of Damascus) and celestial (the frescoes of Qusayr „Amra) played a major role in the staging of Umayyad rule. Thus in the early Islamic state it was the symbolic function that predominated. This is related to the gulf between the Umayyad state and its host society, and the necessity for Umayyad caliphs to develop a flexible visual

▼ This study contributes to the growing body of scholarship that utilizes globalization theory as a means of exploring changes in material culture and urban society in the Roman provinces, focusing on the understudied region of Lycia et Pamphylia. More specifically, it takes a multi-scalar approach to exploring how local, regional, and global architectural traditions were blended into uniquely Lycian urban forms, paying attention to the crucial role played by local and imperial agency in processes of urban development and practices of civic benefaction. By analyzing these urban landscapes as lived environments and considering the ways that pedestrian experiences both shaped and were shaped by architecture and urban space, we gain a better understanding of the diverse ways that “Roman” urbanism manifests across the eastern empire. The study is structured as a comparative analysis of six sites in western Lycia, which are divided by regional topography into two micro-regions: the Xanthos valley, with the sites of Patara, Xanthos, and Tlos; and the Kibyratis, a highland zone where the cities of Oinoanda, Balboura, and Boubon are located. Across these two micro-regions, I examine how each city developed over the course of the Roman imperial period, or the 1st to 3rd centuries CE, focusing primarily on the public architecture and infrastructure known through archaeological investigation (Chapter 3). I then consider how the actions of individual and communal agencies, from local elites and Roman provincial officials to the city boule or the regional koinon, shaped the development of cities over time, focusing on patterns in architectural benefaction and the temporal rhythms of urban development (Chapter 4). I also explore the spatial arrangement of these cities through a framework of urban “zones,” which I developed for the purpose of modeling the pedestrian experience of the three-dimensional city, in contrast to the modern Cartesian perspective (Chapter 5). Finally, I utilize three architectural case-studies – arches, baths, and theater-temples – to demonstrate the effectiveness of a multi-scalar approach to architecture and urban development in the Roman provinces (Chapter 6). This study therefore demonstrates the capacity of a multi-scalar model for defining local developments within broader regional and global contexts.

▼ Beginning in 1919, Lotte Reiniger created over sixty fairy tale films composed of ornate silhouettes shot on an animation table of her own design. She founded an experimental animation studio, collaborated with artists associated with the avant-garde, and published essays that must now be counted among the earliest tracts of film theory. Formal analysis of a selection of her films from the Weimar period, with an extended discussion of The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926), reveals Reiniger’s distinct aesthetic as an ornamental mode of animation. When considered in the context of a series of exhibitions in Berlin, Bristol, London, and Manchester, Reiniger’s oeuvre emerges as a central episode in the history and theorization of experimental animation in interwar Europe. The migration of ornament (as both decorative silhouette and geometric abstraction) has been largely neglected in both film studies and art history. Drawing on Alois Riegl’s theory of ornament, this dissertation explores key moments in Reiniger’s practice that deploy qualities such as tactility, horizontality, and flatness as important facets of the ornament-in-motion. Theories of ornament are deeply connected to conceptions of the Orient and this project positions Reiniger in a landscape of Weimar cinema, where both shadow play and silhouette cutting fed orientalist fantasies on film. Reiniger used both but drew technical inspiration from the Orient, producing films that model an ethical encounter with the Other at odds with the prevailing aesthetic of orientalist cinema. This decorative aesthetic set her in uneasy relation to the avant-garde, whose strenuous attempts to distance abstraction from ornament took the form of “absolute film.” Claims for aesthetic integrity were staked out on territory these artists largely had in common. Period critics realized this and an analysis of the deployment of terms such as “ornament” and “decorative” presents a more complex conception of opticality and abstraction, materiality and content than previously acknowledged in Weimar film scholarship. A critical review of a series of extraordinary exhibitions establishes that experimental animation was conceived in relation to its materials and that Lotte Reiniger’s practice stands as a precursor to later and better-known attempts to negotiate the relationship between the gallery and the moving image.

▼ This dissertation interprets images of hunting in architectural decoration produced throughout the early Islamic Umayyad caliphate (ca. 661750 CE) as a series of dialogs between the ArabMuslim conquerors and their conquered subjects. Through four case studies I argue that conquered peoples who have been excluded from considerations of Umayyad art and patronage played a variety of roles in shaping visual cultures throughout the empire. The first case study examines a pavilion known as Azraq alShīshān in the Azraq Oasis (in modernday eastern Jordan), which was decorated with relief carvings that included images of hunting. Situating these images within their architectural and environmental context reveals that the landscape was a potent medium for the projection of imperial power, both in real hunting parties as well as their literary and visual depictions. The second case study focuses on a bathhouse known as Quṣayr ʿAmra (in modernday Jordan), which was decorated for the Umayyad prince alWalīd ibn Yazīd (r. 743744). I draw attention to a consciousness of conquest and the geographic scope of empire reflected in the images that adorn its walls, and I see this building as articulating a visual muʿārada (competitive comparison) between the centers and provinces of the caliphate. The third case study analyzes the suburban estate known as Chal Ṭarkhān ʿEshqābād (in northern Iran, south of modernday Tehran). It is decorated with stucco reliefs depicting “postSasanian” hunting scenes that could have been desirable to Muslim and nonMuslim elites, both of whom were in a position to patronize craftsmen in the provinces of the Umayyad caliphate. These reliefs demonstrate how members of each group might have employed preexisting local imagery in an attempt to mediate between the two communities, echoing the broader cultural phenomenon of antiArabexceptionalism known as shuʿūbiyya. The fourth case study explores the visual dialog that emerged between imperial patrons and their conquered subjects as a consequence of the Umayyad conquests by comparing murals produced on the eastern frontier of the Umayyad Empire in the Sogdian city of Panjikent (in modernday western Tajikistan) and a floor painting from Qaṣr alḤayr alGharbī (in modernday Syria) in the Umayyad heartland. Considered together, these four case studies of hunting images reflect the processes by which a variety of aristocratic and imperial identities were negotiated and redefined in visual culture within the Umayyad Empire during the ArabMuslim conquests of the late seventh and early eighth centuries.

▼ This study advances our understanding of Athenian vase-paintings of the Archaic and Classical periods by examining scenes of communication from two perspectives: how communication is expressed within depictions of multi-figure scenes and how messages are encoded through the vase to the viewer. I develop a new theoreticalmethodological framework using communication theory that combines a semiotic approach to images with a model of communication that considers the viewer (Part I). The model visualizes communication as occurring on two axes. Communication occurring on the vase, the horizontal axis, focuses on the different modes of communication within the image. Communication occurring through the object, the vertical axis, considers the role of the viewer and the relationship between creator, object, and targeted audience. Communication theory allows for a systematic investigation of the vase as a constructed agent of meaning and the importance of the intended viewer and viewing context. This study is divided into two parts based upon the two axes of communication. Part II deals primarily with the horizontal axis, applying the model of communication to vase-paintings through analyzing examples of different modes of communication in the world of images, which are expressed through visual markers. Visual markers such as gestures, body language and speech inscriptions, represent both verbal and non-verbal communication in images. Chapter 3 examines the use of visual markers in establishing conversations, with an emphasis on indicators of speech. Chapter 4 examines the role of visual markers in representing known narratives. Miscommunication plays a part in these stories as a narrative instigator and I focus predominantly on nonverbal communication. Part III deals with the vertical axis, concentrating on the concept of gendered gazes through examining self-referential images and targeted audiences. While Chapter 5 focuses on scenes of the symposium on sympotic shapes intended for a male audience, Chapter 6 explores images intended for female viewers by examining vases decorated with scenes of marriage and wool-working that were produced for those respective settings. In my dissertation, I argue that the link between the two axes relies on visual markers, an open approach to reading images, and the experience of the viewer.

▼ The current study considers Athenian childhood through images on Attic vases, plaques, and votive reliefs. A six-stage model of childhood development – newborn to adolescence – was designed to appraise the ages of children. This new model allows for more precise age determination, especially for the youngest children (birth to three years). In contrast to previous studies, emphasis is placed on the younger developmental stages (Stages I-III), focusing on acquired motor skills and biological changes that all healthy children attain. The first two analytical chapters concern depictions of family scenes that include a significant number of children. While Chapter 2 analyzes funerary and lamentation scenes on vases and plaques, Chapter 3 deals with commemorations of a family visit to a sanctuary as shown on votive reliefs. These images are discussed by age group, using the model for the six developmental stages and with respect to the locations of children, their positions within the scene and, more generally, their interactions with adults in order to discern patterns of placement. Although funerary and dedication scenes tend to follow their own individual compositions, it holds true for both that age, dependency level, and gender of a child influences his or her placement within these scenes, indicating male and female spheres. Similar criteria are used in Chapter 4 to analyze a third group of family scenes, namely vase-paintings with children at play in different settings. They suggest that indoor scenes were reserved for the youngest children of either gender. The development and upbringing of Satyr children, as presented on Attic vases, is discussed in Chapter 5 and includes comparisons to their human counterparts. Examinations reveal that Satyr children follow similar developmental stages as humans and that both learn their adult behavior through imitation and observation as they participate in their own specific activities. The final analytical chapter, Chapter 6, studies depictions of children on Attic vases within a contextual framework. More specifically, it discerns whether the representations of children on Attic vases associated with male users, such as kraters and kylikes, and those associated with female users, such as epinetra and pyxides, differ significantly.

▼ This study investigates the role of administrative sealing practices in the emergence of social complexity in Early Helladic (EH) period (ca. 3100-2000 BCE) Greece. Archaeologists associate emerging complexity in mainland Greece with key developments in the EH period, including sealing practices, long-distance exchanges, monumental architecture, and craft specialization. Seals and sealings are a particularly sensitive proxy for complexity because of their economic and political potential as administrative devices, a pre-literate form of record keeping. Although Mycenaean elites used seals to control resources in the palatial political economy in the Late Bronze Age, there is no evidence that incipient elites did the same in the EH period. Nevertheless, EH society is described in neo-evolutionary terms as a chiefdom, a phase of development intermediary between Neolithic egalitarianism and Mycenaean state-level society. This study re-investigates the role of sealing practices in the process of social change, and departs from previous elite-based approaches by integrating collective action theory to consider the communal context of sealing as a social practice. It is argued that sealing was a form of collective action that demonstrates the central role that cooperation and non-hierarchical social dynamics played in the emergence of complexity in the Aegean. A contextual approach to the archaeological evidence for sealing is used to reconstruct depositional patterns for seals, clay sealings, and seal-impressed objects. The results of contextual analysis reveal regional and chronological variation that demonstrate the diverse historical trajectories of mainland communities and reflect the different ways that mainland communities adapted foreign influences locally. Contextual analysis further reveals that sealing and communal feasting were closely associated, and EH sealing practices are identified as a cooperative strategy for small-scale communities to mutually monitor feast contributions to prevent free-riding on the benefits of feast participation. Feast contributions are described as neither public nor private goods, but rather as pooled resources (club/toll goods) that sealing transformed into a collective fund accessible to feast participants. From this perspective, seal designs were group emblems rather than the personal signatures of administrative elites. These findings contribute to a broader understanding of the social dynamics of emerging complexity in the Aegean by re-conceptualizing complexity beyond hierarchy.

▼ This dissertation examines the creation of space and place in a border region through a historically grounded, multi-scalar approach to spatiality. The work draws upon the pre- and post-contact archaeology of the Lake Champlain Richelieu River Corridor, a historically contested waterway where the states of Vermont, and New York meet the Canadian Province of Québec. This is a region that has played host to countless complex cultural interactions between Native American/First Nation groups and Europeans of various cultural and national identities A tripartite model for multi-scalar study of space and place creation is presented and applied to the political and social history Native and European conflict and comprise. The model stipulates that the construction of space consists of three facets, cognitive, material and social spaces. The interaction between these three aspects of spatial creation allows for places to be constructed and identified as holding cultural significance. The study is multi-scalar in respect to both scope of analysis and time. In respect to scope, archaeological analyses are undertaken at the region, site and artifact levels. The model is multiscalar in respect to time, examining the topics of study diachronically, tracing the production of space through time. Each temporally specific examination begins with a discussion of pertinent social mores and constructs as they effect the cognitive space created. The archaeological record is then analyzed to ascertain how cognitive spaces are manifest on the landscape. This built environment augmentation to the landscape is referred to as material space. Finally, the social space, consisting of the relationships between active agents and their material space is examined. The model postulates that it is the social space interactions between cognitive and material spaces that allows for the construction of place. The work often engages in critiques of an Anglo-centric bias in American history to offer a more balanced approach to the historical investigation of a complex borderzone.
