Writing, Violence, and the Military

Résumé du livre

'Writing, Violence, and the Military' takes representations of reading and writing in Eighteenth Dynasty Egypt (ca. 1550-1295 BCE) as its point of departure, asking how patrons of art conceptualised literacy and how in turn they positioned themselves with respect to it. Inspired by the approach taken by New Literacy Studies, this inquiry emphasises the study of the social practices that involve reading and writing.
