Hoffmann, Friedhelm
Typen, Motive, Stilmittel
Art Research and Visual Culture Studies is considered a marginal field in Egyptology today. Thus, the anthology is intended to serve the one for scientific understanding, the other for self-study. Above all, it is intended to stimulate own reflections, if possible in front of the discussed artworks. The contributions demonstrate different procedures, most of which have matured in practice as a result of sharpened, explorative perception. Special concern was to analyse and to interpret the discussed artworks in a comprehensible way and also to deal with applied terms, art historical approaches and methods.
The volume opens a new series published in loose succession on behalf of the Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum Hildesheim. The series Beiträge zur altägyptischen Kunst (“Contributions to ancient Egyptian art”– BAK) is specifically dedicated to Art Research and Visual Culture Studies in Egyptology.
Schöne Denkmäler sind entstanden: Studien zu Ehren von Ursula Verhoeven
This anthology " Schöne Denkmäler sind entstanden" brings together studies in honor of Ursula Verhoeven. The diverse contributions by Egyptological colleagues and former students reflect the thematic and methodological breadth of the Egyptologist's research interests. These include Egyptian scribal culture, especially cursive scripts, their development and interdependencies with monumental hieroglyphs, as well as their (digital) paleographic analysis, Egyptian papyri, graffiti, and dipinti, literary and funerary texts, funerary culture, religion, the world of the gods, cultural history, and many more.
