Ellen Harlizius-Klück
Principal Investigator, philosopher, artist, mathematician
The algorithms, the logic and mathematics of textile production has always been a source of fascination for me. Generous funding in recent years made it possible to investigate this subject for ancient weaving. In the PENELOPE project I will be able to put these former projects and cooperations on a new level together with colleagues from the United Kingdom, Sweden/Italy and France/Italy.
Giovanni Fanfani
Postdoc, Classical philologist, Copenhagen
In the frame of the PENELOPE project I will have the opportunity to locate the relation between ancient weaving and Greek poetry-making within the broader context of interdisciplinary research into the logical and technological patterns that weaving generates, and I will be able to trace the relevance of the weaving paradigm in post-Classical Greek literature and philosophy.
