Image and Identity in the Ancient Near East: Papers in memoriam
Pierre Amiet gathers the papers of two colloquia – one held in
Pierre Amiet’s honour in Lyon in 2016 and the other held in Paris
in 2017, as well as articles by colleagues who wished to dedicate a
final tribute to him. The volume consists of two parts. The studies
in the first part analyse the body as a biological entity as well
as a social, sexual and cultural identity (persona). They show the
emotional power of images, the means and media used to achieve this
suggestive power, and the different audiences that are the
privileged recipients of the different types of production. They
also investigate the emotions as they are expressed through the
gestures and attitudes of the characters represented. The second
part includes articles that are more closely related to the themes
that Pierre Amiet has tackled. Two articles deal with his favourite
research theme, glyptics. One article takes up the problem of the
formation of the state which Pierre Amiet had dealt with in several
of his glyptic studies. Other papers are concerned with the
organisation of craftsmen and statuary.
