This volume gathers together selected contributions which were
originally presented at the conference 'Greek Art in Context' at
the University of Edinburgh in 2014. Its aim is to introduce the
reader to the broad and multifaceted notion of context in relation
to Greek art and, more specifically, to its relevance for the study
of Greek sculpture and pottery from the Archaic to the Late
Classical periods. What do we mean by 'context'? In which ways and
under what circumstances does context become relevant for the
interpretation of Greek material culture? Which contexts should we
look at - viewing context, political, social and religious
discourse, artistic tradition . . .? What happens when there is no
context? These are some of the questions that this volume aims to
answer. The chapters included cover current approaches to the study
of Greek sculpture and pottery in which the notion of 'context'
plays a prominent role, offering new ways of looking at familiar
issues. It gathers leading scholars and early career researchers
from different backgrounds and research traditions with the aim of
presenting new insights into archaeological and art historical
research. Their chapters contribute to showcase the vitality of the
discipline and will serve to stimulate new directions for the study
of Greek art.
