Perspectives on materiality in ancient Egypt - agency, cultural
reproduction and change expresses the authors' broad theoretical
interest on materiality and how it helps us to understand the
crucial role of material culture in ancient Egyptian society in a
more complex way. In the volume, mainly young scholars in Brazil,
France, Germany and the UK approach the potential of materiality
based on several case studies covering a wide range of topics such
as Egyptian art, recent perspectives on sex and gender,
hierarchies, and the materiality of textual sources and images. The
idea of gathering young scholars to discuss 'materiality' first
took place in the form of a colloquium organised in Sao Paulo, but
soon after became a more encompassing project aspiring to produce a
publication. The editors' aimed to include researchers from various
places, which makes the volume a materialisation of fruitful
collaborations between individuals coming from different scholarly
traditions. The combination of different ways of looking at the
ancient material culture can hopefully contribute to the renovation
of theory and practice in Egyptology. The editors believe that the
emphasis on diversity- of background histories, national traditions
and mind-sets-is one the main elements that can be used to boost
new perspectives in a connected, globalised and hopefully less
unequal world.
