She wrote her PhD Thesis at the University of Florence and Bonn, with the title “Cultural Transmission from South of Italy to Northern Etruria in the Hellenistic period” (in press). She is developing a post-doctoral Project on the evolution of the network of the Etruscan communities during the Romanization and its impact on the local identities. Her research interests concern the local consequences of global challenges, migrations and cultural contacts in the ancient Mediterranean. She is temporary teaching assistant of Classical Archaeology at the University of Leipzig.

Sie beschäftigt sich zur Zeit mit einem Postdoc-Projekt zur Entwicklung der Netzwerke der Etruskischen Gemeinschaften und ihre Auswirkung auf die lokalen Identitäten. Ihre Forschungsinteressen betreffen die lokalen Folgen globaler Herausforderungen, Migration sowie die Kulturkontakte im antiken Mittelmeerraum.

Abstract

This contribution concerns the perception of local cultural identities in Hellenistic Northern Etruria. I aim to answer the following question: how did the evolution of the economic and politic relationships between settlements condition the perception and the expression of the local identities? During the Romanization, the Region of my case study presents a complexity of patterns, as result of the interaction of local needs and backgrounds with the global process of institutional and economic unification of the Mediterranean following. The Social Network Analysis (SNA) has been chosen as methodology to approach this complexity. I propose some parameters to detect local identity markers, then I present an integrated method to relate their development to the evolution of the relational networks between the communities.
