Body and Frames of War in New Kingdom Egypt' deals with the relation between violence and the bodies of enemies and prisoners of war in New Kingdom Egypt (ca. 1550/1070 BC) through the lens of "frames of war" (J. Butler). Archaeological, textual and pictorial sources on military violence (torture, mutilation, execution) are examined with various methods. Numerous attestations of caging, branding and marking, cutting off hands, cutting off phalli, cutting off ears, eyes gouging, strangling, burning, impaling and decapitation of enemies are analysed in detail and compared with treatments of the dead in the Underworld and criminals in ancient Egypt. 0Uro? Matic for the first time comprehensively compares divine and state violence in ancient Egypt. He discusses evidence from physical-anthropology (skeletal remains) and chooses a constructivist approach to textual and pictorial representations of violence. Bodies of enemies are understood as objects and media of violence. Several theoretical models are consulted in the examination of the material. It is argued that there was a difference in violent acts committed by the king and those committed by the soldiers. The king treats the enemies in the same way as deities and demons treat the dead in the Underworld. The violence committed by soldiers, on the other hand, is mundane and has no religious background. This difference strengthened the divine nature of the king.

Présentation de l'éditeur : "Les Égyptiens ont-ils inventé la bureaucratie? Pour dresser l'histoire intégrale de ce milieu et de ces hommes, Chloé Ragazzoli a recours à des sources -- archéologiques et textuelles -- encore largement inexploitées : les florilèges, ces manuscrits de miscellanées où les scribes faisaient montre de leurs compétences et de leurs savoirs lettrés."

La politique étrangère des pharaons du Nouvel Empire, marquée par des batailles célèbres comme celles de Qadesh ou de Mégiddo, est généralement conçue comme une phase d'expansion " impérialiste " conduite par des souverains belliqueux, tels Ramsès II ou Thoutmosis III, animés du seul désir d'exhiber leur puissance et de subjuguer des peuples jugés inférieurs, quoique riches de ressources utiles à l'Égypte. Une relecture critique des sources ainsi que la prise en compte de données géographiques jusqu'ici sous-évaluées révèlent au contraire que la guerre, bien moins fréquente d'ailleurs qu'on ne le conçoit, ne fut, avec la diplomatie, que l'un des moyens employés par les pharaons pour assurer leur approvisionnement régulier en étain, métal indispensable à la fabrication du bronze, sur lequel était fondée toute leur technologie. L'Égypte, qui s'était auparavant procuré cette ressource par des voies commerciales, dut, à partir de Thoutmosis Ier, défendre militairement et diplomatiquement ses intérêts dans ce domaine, au cours de deux grands conflits, contre les ambitions contraires de deux grandes puissances du Proche-Orient, le Mitanni et le Hatti, non moins dépendantes à l'égard de l'étain, et avides d'en soumettre le commerce à leur monopole. Cet ouvrage est l'histoire de ces conflits, de la pensée stratégique qui leur servit de guide et des solutions négociées qui leur servirent de conclusion.

In der neuen interdisziplinär ausgerichteten Reihe sollen Abhandlungen zu den Themen Königtum, Staat und Gesellschaft früher Hochkulturen zusammengeführt werden. Den Anfang bilden ägyptologische Forschungsergebnisse des Sonderforschungsbereiches 295 Kulturelle und sprachliche Kontakte der Universität Mainz, der sich den intra- und interkulturellen Beziehungen im Bereich des östlichen Mittelmeergebietes, Nordostafrikas und Westasiens und den theoretischen Grundlagen ihrer Erforschung widmet. Die Beiträge des ersten Bandes gelten dem ägyptischen Königtum des 2. Jahrtausends v. Chr., den Zeitabschnitten der staatlich gewollten Isolierung (Mittleres Reich) und des Weltreiches (Neues Reich). Staatliches Selbstverständnis, seine Grundlagen und seine Auswirkungen auf das Verhältnis Ägyptens zu den vorderasiatischen Nachbarstaaten werden schwerpunktmäßig für die Königtümer Thutmosis’ IV. und Amenophis’ III. dargestellt. Dabei dienen die Fremdvölkerlisten, in denen das geographische Weltbild der damaligen Zeit zum Ausdruck kommt, als Hintergrund. Ein weiteres Hauptaugenmerk gilt der zentralen Funktion des königlichen Hofes und der Rolle der Hofgesellschaft als innen- und außenpolitische Entscheidungsebene. Als bedeutenden Mitgliedern des Hofes Ramses’ II. ist seinen Wesiren eine eigene Abhandlung gewidmet.

The modern view of the ancient Egyptian world is often through the lens of a scribe: the trained, schooled, literate individual who was present at many levels of Egyptian society, from a local accountant to the highest echelons of society. And yet, despite the wealth of information the scribes left us, we know relatively little about what underpinned their world, about their mentality and about their everyday life. Tracing ten key biographies, Ancient Egyptian Scribes examines how these figures kept both the administrative life and cultural memory of Egypt running. These are the Egyptians who ran the state and formed the supposedly meritocratic system of local administration and government. Case studies look at accountants, draughtsmen, scribes with military and dynastic roles, the authors of graffiti and literati who interacted in different ways with Pharaohs and other leaders. Assuming no previous knowledge of ancient Egypt, the various roles and identities of the scribes are presented in a concise and accessible way, offering structured information on their cultural identity and self-presentation, and providing readers with an insight into the making of Egyptian written culture
