SUMMARY:"The Myth of Merit in Greek Aesthetic Thought" presented by Dr. Mary C. Danisi
DESCRIPTION:Fillets were long\, ritualized textile bands most familiar to Classicists in the form of victory ribbons conferred as prizes in poetic\, athletic\, and martial contests. Artistic renderings of the bands in more permanent forms of visual art\, such as in victor statues like Polykleitos’ Diadoumenos\, memorialized this symbolic capital of adornment with which Greeks distinguished the human beings\, animals\, and images representing the best in their class. To fillet\, and to be filleted in turn\, were competitive gestures residing at the heart of the circulation of honors undergirding the Greek agonistic economy of excellence. The fillet’s exercises in comparison thus made merit visible and knowable to beholders of sacred images that canonized their subjects’ accolades. By attending to formal developments in sculpture between the Archaic and Classical periods\, in which the representation of the fillet acquires greater visual prominence in the rendering of the human figure\, this talk addresses what we might call the “art of deservedness” during a critical transition moment in Greek contest culture. Since ancient authors regularly question the winner’s talent and the partiality of judges\, victory ribbons also expose the politics of ornamentation\, as well as the myths and other fictions operative in this uniquely Greek mechanism of producing and measuring relative and absolute value. By attending to which agents earned the privilege of wearing the bands and during which ritualized transactions\, we can discern those abstract concepts for which the Greeks were willing to compete at all costs. Fillets demonstrate that social economies of value were indeed artistic matters\, motivated by narratives of achievement and defeat then circulating on view within the community.

SUMMARY:Anita Krause Bader Lecture in Mediterranean Archaeology: "Building an Africani Community at Ostia: Diasporic Identity in the Square of the Corporations" presented by Dr. Lindsey A. Mazurek
DESCRIPTION:The Central Missouri Society of the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA)\, in co-sponsorship with the University of Missouri\, is proud to present the annual Anita Krause Bader Lecture in Ancient Mediterranean Archaeology.\nLecturer: Dr. Lindsey A. Mazurek\, Associate Professor of Classical Studies at Indiana University Bloomington\nAbstract:\nPart of Rome’s main port city of Ostia Antica\, the Square of the Corporations (or Piazzale delle Corporazioni in Italian) was built in the reign of Hadrian on the site of an Augustan-period quadriporticus behind the city’s main theater. The U-shaped complex featured small offices decorated with mosaics that described the civic origins of their users\, all arranged around an open square that held a Flavian-period temple\, a garden\, and portraits. The offices housed various firms engaged in a range of trades that supported the city’s grain trade\, and featured mosaics and inscriptions that identified their occupants as migrants from across northern Africa and the western Mediterranean.\nIn this talk\, I examine this evidence to think about how the tradesmen of the Square of the Corporations identified themselves within this historical and archaeological context. The offices themselves\, I argue\, highlighted specific civic origins for each group in connection with products\, keeping with a broader Roman tradition of using geographic origin as a proxy for product quality. But the dedications of portrait statues set up in the center of the Square of the Corporations employ language that emphasizes collective action as Africani. Taken together\, this evidence suggests that the occupants of the Square created and used a collective Africani identity at specific moments for political and economic gain. This group action had limited use\, suggesting it was only deemed valuable for a few activities within the broader social landscape of Roman Ostia. \nReception before the event: 5:00 PM\nLecture starts at 5:30 PM
