Zeitschrift für ägyptische Sprache und Altertumskunde – Beihefte

Wells E: A Social and Religious Analysis
of New Kingdom Votive Stelae

A Social and Religious Analysis of New Kingdom Votive Stelae

Display and Devotion

Obwohl viele Quellen aus dem alten Ägypten für den polymorphen Bes erhalten sind, wurde diese Form eines mehrköpfigen Wesens in Abhandlungen zur ägyptischen Religion bisher nicht thematisiert. Die Monographie widmet sich dieser speziellen göttlichen Kreation und stellt erstmals deren religiöse Bedeutung heraus. 
 
 Der spezielle Typus von Bes mit mehreren Häuptern ist durch viele Quellen wie Reliefs, Statuetten, Vignetten und Gemmen sowie Texte in altägyptischer, griechischer und vielleicht auch in koptischer Sprache überliefert. Er stellte offenbar ein recht verbreitetes und vor allem beliebtes Wesen dar, das nicht nur im königlichen Umfeld, sondern auch bei ,normalen' Menschen rezipiert und in schutzmächtigen Ritualen angewandt wurde. Die Quellen sind vom siebten vorchristlichen Jahrhundert bis in die Spätantike überliefert. In der Spätantike sind Funde dann nicht nur aus Ägypten sondern auch aus entfernten Gebieten wie von der Schwarzmeerküste und aus Mitteleuropa erhalten. 
 
 Durch die Quellen wird deutlich, dass man es sicher nicht mit einem unbedeutenden Wesen zu tun hat. Ein Bes mit mehreren Häuptern war sicher keine "Ausgeburt der Zauberer" oder eine "willkürliche Spielerei", sondern ein theologisch sehr bedeutsames Konstrukt.

Bloomsbury Egyptology

This book explores the administration and social organisation of ancient Egypt during the New Kingdom, the age of empire, through the lives and careers of the highest classes of Egyptian society. Based on analysis and interpretation of a wide range of hieratic and hieroglyphic texts (from administrative documents and accounts, to biographies and literature), as well as iconographic and archaeological evidence (reliefs, statues and steles), it compares the transmission of power and the relevance of social provenance during the New Kingdom to other periods of ancient Egyptian history and examines the changing relationship between central power and periphery in the empire. Both texts and figural sources are set in their historical contexts, with the aim of encouraging readers to deepen their understanding of some less-studied aspects of New Kingdom society, such as state control and the recruitment or enrolment of the elite classes. This detailed but straightforward approach will be of use to both scholars and students of Egyptology and Egyptian archaeology, and to those engaged in comparative studies of ancient history, society and culture.

Classical Literature and Society

"Presenting a new approach to Euripides' plays, this book explores the playwright's ancient tragedies in relation to quotation culture. Treating extant works and lost works side-by-side, Matthew Wright presents a selective survey of ways in which Euripidean tragedy was quoted within antiquity, both in social contexts (on the comic stage, at symposia, in law courts, in education) and in different literary genres (drama, biography, oratory, philosophy, literary scholarship, history and anthologies). There is also a discussion of the connection between quotability and classic status, where Wright asks what quotations can tell us about ancient reading habits. The implication is that Euripides actively participated in quotation culture by deliberately making certain portions of his plays stand out as especially quotable"--

Bite-Sized Chunks

The Classical World in Bite-sized Chunks

This book gathers a group of scholars whose work has been influenced by the distinctive dialogue between ancient philosophy (and rhetoric) and critical theory promoted by the scholarship of James I. Porter. A classicist who has pushed classics beyond itself - beyond its traditional boundaries - Porter has demonstrated that antiquity cannot be studied without participating in what is sometimes dismissively labeled "reception." The collection here does not simply celebrate the work of a major figure in the field of classics through a series of Porterian writing experiments, but locates the futures of classics in its predisposition to endless transformation, alteration, reconfiguration, and fugitive or exilic deterritorialization. Philology is a practice of philosophy in that contact with the ghosts of antiquity and its diachronic manifestations in modernity confronts the interpreter with opportunities for unlearning as well as learning, unthinking as well as thinking, and for engaging with impossibilities as well as possibilities. The essays gathered here, unified by these themes, include contributions on ancient philosophy (Democritus, the sophists, Aristotle, and Lucretius); reflections on the sublime, which Porter has pivotally elucidated; interventions on the theme of philology and exile (in Nietzsche, Marx, Freud, and Derrida); and theoretical musings on the "agony of immanence," the "biomatic," the "atmospheric," and the relationship between immigration and classical reception.

Helmets and Body Armour in New Kingdom Egypt

Historian Sarah E. Bond retells the traditional story of Ancient Rome, revealing how groups of ancient workers unified, connected, and protested as they helped build an empire "First-rate. . . . A sterling example of historical revisionism."--Publishers Weekly From plebeians refusing to join the Roman army to bakers withholding bread, this is the first book to explore how Roman workers used strikes, boycotts, riots, and rebellion to get their voices--and their labor--acknowledged. Sarah E. Bond explores Ancient Rome from a new angle to show that the history of labor conflicts and collective action goes back thousands of years, uncovering a world far more similar to our own than we realize. Workers often turned to their associations for solidarity and shared identity in the ancient world. Some of these groups even negotiated contracts, wages, and work conditions in a manner similar to modern labor unions. As the world begins to consider the value--and indeed the necessity--of unionization to protect workers, this book demonstrates that we can learn valuable lessons from ancient laborers and from attempts by the Roman government to limit their freedom.

Labor, Unions, and Resistance in the Roman Empire

Strike

Was Ovid a surprising champion of women's sexual pleasure? Or did he just want them to fake it? Where did the British Museum curators hide the most pornographic of frescoes? And what exactly was the phallic wooden object excavated in 90's Northumberland? In APHRODISIA, Dr Jean Menzies dives into the hidden history of women's sexuality in Ancient Greece and Rome. The classical world stretched across the Mediterranean for more than a millennium, its people and cultures wide and varied and its sexual proclivities equally so. Yet so often when we read about sex in antiquity it is about the men folk first and foremost: which brothels they were visiting, how they balanced wives and lovers, and what they got up to in the gymnasium. Delving into the literature, art and artefacts of the ancient world, from sex toys to seduction tips to kink, Dr Jean Menzies instead centres women and their desire. In doing so, she uncovers the many faces of women's sexuality over the course of thousands of years, and asks intriguing, and sometimes provocative questions about women, sex and desire today.
