Violence and Power in Ancient Egypt examines the use of Egyptian
pictures of violence prior to the New Kingdom. Starting with the
assertion that making and displaying such images served as a tactic
of power, related to but separate from the actual practice of
violence, the book explores the development and deployment of this
imagery across different contexts. By comparatively utilizing
violent images from a variety of other times and cultures, the book
asks that we consider not only how Egyptian imagery was related to
Egyptian violence, but also why people create pictures of violence
and place them where they do, and how such images communicate what
to whom. By cataloging and querying Egyptian imagery of violence
from different periods and different contexts-royal tombs, divine
temples, the landscape, portable objects, and private
tombs-Violence and Power highlights the nuances of the relationship
between aspects of royal ideology, art, and its audiences in the
first half of pharaonic Egyptian history.
