Routledge Histories of Egyptology: Interdisciplinary Measures 02

Histories of Egyptology are gaining significant interest among Egyptologists, archaeologists, and historians. This volume, part of the Routledge Studies in Egyptology series, explores the complex ways these histories are written and who they serve. As Egypt undergoes a contested process of political redefinition, this book examines the discipline through various essential lenses. Readers will explore the historical involvement of Egyptology within the political sphere and how the discipline defines its professional territory. The text also looks at how practitioners represent Egyptological knowledge and the connection between this specialized knowledge and the public sphere. This work provides a deep look into the themes that shape the study of ancient Egypt and its modern interpretations.
