In The Sacred Landscape of Dra Abu el-Naga during the New Kingdom,
Angeles Jimenez-Higueras offers the reconstruction of the physical,
religious and cultural landscape of Dra Abu el-Naga south and its
conceptual development from the 18th to the 20th Dynasties
(1550-1069 BC). A wider insight into the Theban necropolis is
provided, including the position played by the Dra Abu el-Naga
cemetery within the Theban funerary context understood as an
inseparable complex of diverse components. For this study, Angeles
Jimenez-Higueras has reconciled textual and archaeological
perspectives with theories relating to Landscape Archaeology, which
efficiently manages to compile and to link
prosopographical-genealogical, archaeological and GIS (Geographical
Information System) data.
Landscapes, Sources and Intellectual Projects of the West African
Past offers a comprehensive assessment of new directions in the
historiography of West Africa. With twenty-four chapters by leading
researchers in the study of West African history and cultures, the
volume examines the main trends in multiple fields including the
critical interpretation of Arabic sources; new archaeological
surveys of trans-Saharan trade; the discovery of sources in Latin
America relating to pan-Atlantic histories; and the continuing
analysis of oral histories. The volume is dedicated to Paulo
Fernando de Moraes Farias, whose work inspired the intellectual
reorientations discussed in its chapters and stands as the clearest
formulation of the book's central focus on the relationship between
political conjunctures and the production of sources. Contributors
are: Benjamin Acloque, Karin Barber, Seydou Camara, Mamadou
Diawara, Paulo Fernando de Moraes Farias, Francois-Xavier Fauvelle,
