Abstract

This article employs the labyrinth as an analytical and interpretive tool for thinking about Minoan architectural and especially palatial space with a particular focus on Knossos. Whether or not Minoan ruins inspired later Greek mythical narratives, Knossos can be examined as a kind of a labyrinth towards developing new perspectives on Knossos as an experienced environment and how it was entangled with broader cultural and cosmological ideas. A labyrinth perspective enables bringing together multiple spatial, material and cultural forms for the heuristic purposes of exploring palatial space in relation to how the environment and world were perceived in Minoan Crete. Knossos afforded participants a mystical experience that provided glimpses of, or openings into, different dimensions of a layered reality—the richness of the world extending beyond the readily perceivable surface of reality—in a literally and figuratively labyrinthine experienced palatial environment.
内侧、外侧和迷宫:克里特岛的Knossos、宫殿空间和环境感知
本文将迷宫作为一种分析和解释工具,来思考米诺斯建筑,尤其是宫殿空间,尤其是克诺索斯。无论米诺斯遗址是否启发了后来的希腊神话叙事,克诺索斯都可以被视为一个迷宫,以发展对克诺索斯作为一个经验丰富的环境的新视角,以及它如何与更广泛的文化和宇宙学思想纠缠在一起。迷宫视角能够将多种空间、物质和文化形式结合在一起,以探索与米诺斯克里特岛环境和世界感知方式相关的宫殿空间。Knossos为参与者提供了一种神秘的体验,在一个字面上和象征上都是迷宫般的味觉环境中,让他们瞥见或打开了分层现实的不同维度——世界的丰富性延伸到了易于感知的现实表面之外。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Social Archaeology is a fully peer reviewed international journal that promotes interdisciplinary research focused on social approaches in archaeology, opening up new debates and areas of exploration. It engages with and contributes to theoretical developments from other related disciplines such as feminism, queer theory, postcolonialism, social geography, literary theory, politics, anthropology, cognitive studies and behavioural science. It is explicitly global in outlook with temporal parameters from prehistory to recent periods. As well as promoting innovative social interpretations of the past, it also encourages an exploration of contemporary politics and heritage issues.
