Communication In Ancient Anatolia
Reconnecting Anatolian Cultures To Shed Light On Lost Narrativesin The Enigmatic Realm Of Anatolia, Three Vibrant But Underexplored Cultures, The Lydians, Luwians, And Phrygians, Existed In Proximity. They Shared A Complex Tapestry Of Communication And Interaction. However, These Ancient Anatolian Societies, Thriving From 1200 To 546 Bce, Have Long Been Dissected In Isolation, Fragmenting The Intricate Web Of Intercultural References And Narratives They Held. With This In Mind, The Erc-Funded Cancan Project Seeks To Unite Their Stories. It Will Introduce A Methodology That Harnesses The Power Of Semiotics And Narratology To Bridge The Gap Between These Ancient Worlds. By Studying Their Text Sources With A Focus On Narrative And Discourse, Cancan Aims To Reveal The Values, Cognitive Patterns, And Motivations That Shaped These Communities.
