WP3 – Analysis of Written Records and Archaeological Evidence

Interpreting Performative and Sensory Contexts. Ancient literary, iconographic, and epigraphic sources are systematically examined to contextualise the sonic features of performative spaces. This interdisciplinary approach investigates the role of sound, music, dance, and voice within sacred events, social assemblies, and ritual interactions in antiquity.

Analysing ancient textual and visual sources, this module contextualises the cultural role of sound in ritual events.
