Research

Anouk's project investigates female terracotta figurines from Hellenistic Egypt and the Eastern Mediterranean in order to explore and better understand changing perceptions of sexuality and the body in an era characterised by change through Globalisation processes. Focusing on sexuality and gendered representation in material culture, the project combines a detailed analysis of the iconography and archaeological context of a sample of female terracotta figurines with theoretically informed approaches towards sexuality and the body as well as globalization and cultural interaction. The dataset consists of a set of approximately 150 female figurines, predominate from the archaeological sites of Naukratis and Delos, but also other sites throughout Egypt and the wider mediterranean.

This PhD project is part of the a.r.t.e.s. EUmanities programme, which is funded by the European Union and the University of Cologne as part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. It is therefore supervised in an international, cooperative setting by three promotores from three different universities: Prof. dr. R. Bussmann (University of Cologne), Prof. dr. M.J. Versluys (Leiden University), and Dr. Claudia Naeser (University College London). Anouk will work in Leiden several months a year.
