The material and intellectual presence of Egypt is at the heart of
Western culture, religion and art from Antiquity to the present.
This volume aims to provide a long term and interdisciplinary
perspective on Egypt and its mnemohistory, taking theories on
objects and their agency as its main point of departure. The
central questions the book addresses are why, from the first
millennium BC onwards, things and concepts Egyptian are to be found
in such a great variety of places throughout European history and
how we can account for their enduring impact over time. By taking a
radically object-oriented perspective on this question, this book
is also a major contribution to current debates on the agency of
artefacts across archaeology, anthropology and art history.
