"Because everyone goes about their own business, small or large
As during Egyptian centuries Painfully »
Alain Bashung, in his final album, clearly expresses the long history to which ancient Egypt tirelessly refers us. And, for several decades, the histories of fine arts, cinema, clothing, decorative arts, and literature have undertaken to take seriously the references and reappropriations of what we could call the great Egyptian paradigm.
This volume adds to these studies an insight into the construction of this paradigm based on the very functioning of the Egyptian image. How does the specificity of the literal link between image and meaning, characteristic of pharaonic art, influence the reception of this art by distant civilizations, in space and time?
What image remains in the text and, conversely, what text remains in the image?
From contemporary history to philosophy, including psychoanalysis, rap, the history of costume, jewelry, and science fiction, here are many Egyptian echoes, more or less distant, of discourses and works that constitute our modernity. Written by young researchers—and established researchers—from several disciplines and practices, the book offers new avenues for historiographical understanding of Egypt's indisputable and exceptional fortune in the West.
