Figures in Action: In Search of Material Entanglements in the Bronze Age Cyclades

The present thesis is concerned with a re-evaluation of the early Cycladic marble figurines. Undoubtedly, past research has been focused on both the homogeneity and the formalistic character of the figurines. This assumption led to a perception of these artefacts as unchangeable, bounded entities with one concrete meaning usually related to religious and/or ritual activities. However, this point of view is under question by an obvious key feature: figurines’ painted decoration, which indicates a more fluid dimension of them. Consequently, this study aims to explore the social aspects of the figurines by focusing on the material itself. Due to the above the concept of “materiality” was chosen as the theoretical framework of this study, for it reveals the dialectic relationship between things and society. As a result, figurines emerge as complex, fluid entities with agency within the environment of the Early Bronze Age Cyclades.
