- W201603735 abstract "This thesis is a comparative study of Persepolis and the Akropolis as monumentalcentres of empire. It considers the relationship between style and politics on the two sites,specifically, the extent to which stylistic variations can be explained by their capacity topromote different political effects. Starting from Gell’s proposition that ‘art is a system ofaction intended to change the world, rather than encode symbolic propositions about it,’ itexamines the precise mechanisms, in particular the eliciting of cognitive or behavourialresponses, by which the architecture and sculpture of the two sites have socialconsequences. It seeks to demonstrate a relationship between variations in the materialtraits of the sites and the political systems of the two states, defined both in terms of theautocratic/democratic distinction, but also the different structures of the two empires. Thecomparison of the two sites gives greater analytical security to the interpretation: theyfunction as controls for each other.Each of the five chapters considers a different material aspect of the sites. The firstchapter considers the spatial layout of the two sites; the second considers the function ofthe architectural sculpture of the two sites as decorative art; the third examines thesculpture as human images; the fourth considers the relationship between the iconographyof the reliefs and the practice on the sites; the fifth looks at the construction of memoryand time. In conclusion, common themes running through the chapters, such as controland legibility, are noted, and the extent to which they form a deliberate political programmeis discussed." @default.
