DEMONTHINGS - ANCIENT EGYPTIAN DEMONOLOGY PROJECT


Call for Papers: Company of Images


Company of Images: Modelling the ancient Egyptian imaginary world of the Middle Bronze Age


International Conference: 18-20 September 2014: Institute of Archaeology, University College, London


The purpose of this conference is to explore the fertile imaginary world of Middle Bronze Age Egypt (2000-1500BC) through its material culture and the archaeological sources from which such material is recovered.

One principal focus will be on figurines in their immediate and wider archaeological context. We also aim to explore other objects which have traditionally been interpreted as tools for the protection of mother and child, all as products of an interwoven world.The conference is an opportunity to explore how the ancient Egyptians populated their imaginary universe, combining different images, materials and objects – a “Company of Images”.

EGYPT EXPLORATION SOCIETY

London Seminar: Egypt in England: Expressions of Ancient Egypt in England over the centuries

Start Time: Saturday, 22nd March 2014, 11:00 am
End Time: Saturday, 22nd March 2014, 5:00 pm
Location: The Egypt Exploration Society
Street: 3 Doughty Mews
City/Town: London WC1N 2PG

We usually focus on the ancient Egyptians themselves, but how has our knowledge of Ancient Egypt influenced us? In this seminar, five speakers will look at Egyptian elements in English and European culture, to see what they can tell us about our views of Ancient Egypt, and what these views reveal about our own society.
