Ruth Bielfeldt plans to explore the notion of thing-enlivenment in Hellenistic and Roman antiquity. Her goal is to develop a new hermeneutic - i.e. phenomenological - approach to a 'culture of the thing', drawing upon textual and visual sources, and the objects themselves. The focus is a group of domestic implements, which stand out because of their experimentation with figural, anthropomorphic, zoomorphic and floral decoration.
