Although the literature of Ancient Egypt is comparatively poorly known compared to its art and architectural achievements, it has been the subject of intense study for almost 200 years, and constitutes one of the earliest literary traditions produced anywhere in the world. This book brings together work from many of the main researchers in the field of Ancient Egyptian literature, and reviews the numerous developments in the theoretical framework of interpretation more recently. The field of literary studies has witnessed a rapid development. The application of more theoretically informed approaches to the ancient literary corpus, and a more detailed analysis of context, form, and reception, have fundamentally challenged the interpretative paradigms that formerly held sway. These papers enable many of the foremost researchers in the field to examine the overall state of work on the subject. Beginning with contributions from scholars working in the literatures of other ancient cultures (Mesopotamian, Old Testament, Classical), the book covers a wide range of Ancient Egyptian uses of written culture, with contributions covering the Middle Egyptian, Late Egyptian, and Demotic language stages. There are also contributions touching on genre, performance, intertextuality, biography, monumental context, and reception. The papers demonstrate the broad range of approaches currently used in interpreting Ancient Egyptian texts, and attest to the ongoing vitality of this field of study.

Hat Europa die Zentralperspektive erfunden? Oder existieren nicht auch Alternativen, den optischen Sprung aus zwei in drei Dimensionen zu realisieren, aus dem Bild in den Raum? Diesen Fragen widmet sich das vorliegende Buch aus den Blickwinkeln von Kunstgeschichte, Bildwissenschaft, Mathematik, Informatik, Psychologie, Museumspädagogik und Philosophie. Historisch gesehen ist die mathematisch konstruierbare "Perspektive" ein Produkt der frühen italienischen Renaissance. Seit ihrer Erfindung wurden jedoch immer wieder Zweifel an ihrer ästhetischen Substanz laut, die sich in den nächsten Jahrhunderten insbesondere im ostasiatischen Raum ausbreiteten. Neben der europäischen Bilderwelt werden deshalb auch zahlreiche Beispiele aus der chinesischen, der japanischen und der melanesischen Kultur zum Vergleich dargestellt. Darüber hinaus unterlagen 'Bilder' auch einem epochalen Wandel: Heute verstehen wir darunter nicht nur analoge Medien, etwa Tafelmalereien oder Druckgraphiken, Diagramme, Karten oder Modelle, sondern auch Resultate digitaler Verfahren in Naturwissenschaft und Medizin.
