Dans l'Égypte pharaonique, les vivants entretenaient des relations avec les défunts de leur communauté domestique, notamment à l'occasion de fêtes et de célébrations rituelles spécifiques. Dans ce cadre, le mode de communication privilégié avec l'ancêtre était celui de la parole, du discours oral. L'écriture était toutefois aussi occasionnellement utilisée comme médium de communication. C'est ce qu'atteste en particulier le corpus des "lettres aux morts" - requêtes formulées sous format épistolaire et tracées en écriture cursive ("hiératique") sur divers supports (vaisselle en terre cuite et papyrus essentiellement) -, attesté de la fin du Ille millénaire au Ier millénaire avant notre ère. A travers l'étude de ce dossier, révélateur des mécanismes relationnels reliant les survivants à leurs morts. cet ouvrage propose une enquête sur un usage de l'écrit dans la procédure rituelle de l'Egypte ancienne. L'importance de l'écrit dans le domaine religieux pharaonique est bien connu. niais c'est sur l'écriture monumentale hiéroglyphique, dont la "fonction de sacralisation" a particulièrement été bien mise en évidence par Pascal Vernus, que l'essentiel de la réflexion a jusqu'ici porté. Ce livre cherche donc à engager une réflexion sur l'utilisation rituelle d'une technique d'écriture d'abord réservée à une pratique quotidienne (le l'écrit (documents administratifs, lettres. archivage...), et aborde la question de l'efficacité de la parole écrite par rapport à la parole énoncée en contexte rituel, ainsi que la question de l'efficacité du texte tracé en écriture cursive par rapport au texte hiéroglyphique en contexte votif.

"Hirai reveals how the decrees on mourning played an important integrative part in the Tokugawa period through not only its comprehensive implementation, especially among major political figures, but also its codification of the religious beliefs and customs that the Japanese people had cherished for innumerable generations"--Provided by publisher.

"In ancient Egypt, wrapping sacred objects, including mummified bodies, in layers of cloth was a ritual that lay at the core of Egyptian society. Yet in the modern world, attention has focused instead on unwrapping all the careful arrangements of linen textiles the Egyptians had put in place.This book breaks new ground by looking at the significance of textile wrappings in ancient Egypt, and at the way their unwrapping has shaped the way we think about the Egyptian past. Wrapping mummified bodies and divine statues in linen reflected the cultural values attached to this textile, with implications for understanding gender, materiality and hierarchy in Egyptian society. Unwrapping mummies and statues similarly reflects the values attached to Egyptian antiquities in the West, where the colonial legacies of archaeology, egyptology and racial science still influence how Egypt appears in museums and the press.From the tomb of Tutankhamun to the Arab Spring, Unwrapping Ancient Egypt raises critical questions about the deep-seated fascination with this culture - and what that fascination says about our own"--

Death, grief and funerary practices are central to any analysis of social, anthropological, artistic and religious worlds. However, cemeteries - the key conceptual and physical site for death - have rarely been the focus of archaeological research. Prioritizing Death and Society examines the structure, organisation and significance of cemeteries in the Southern Levant, one of the key areas for both migration and settlement in both prehistory and antiquity. Spanning 6,000 years, from the Chalcolithic to the present day, Prioritizing Death and Society presents new research to analyse the formation and regional variation in cemeteries. By examining both ancient and present-day - nationally Jewish - cemeteries, the study reveals the commonalities and differences in the ways in which death has been and continues to be ritualised, memorialised and understood.
