Product Description
This unique study looks at archaeological and textual materials for evidence of performance-based activities in Egypt from the beginning of the historic period until the later Roman empire. It takes as its starting point enactments of performance texts from the Graeco-Roman period done by the author’s students, and looks at the widespread vogue for re-enactments on archaeological sites and in the mass media. The materials discussed include texts, visual art, architecture and material culture. The author deals with issues that have been raised in the emerging field of performance archaeology as well as seeking to initiate a discussion on performance in Egyptology and related disciplines.
About The Author
Robyn Gillam teaches at York University in Toronto for the Programmes in Mass Communication, Classical and Religious Studies. She has a particular interest in the relationship of ancient studies, archaeology and museums to popular culture and the mass media.
Reader Reviews
Robyn Gilliam's Performance and Drama In Ancient Egypt (0715634046, $31.00) closely studies archaeological and textual materials that survive as evidence for performance-based activity in Egypt, from the beginning of the historic period until the later Roman Empire. Examining texts, visual art, architecture, and material culture, Performance and Drama in Ancient Egypt scrutinizes common issues and disputes raised about ancient Egyptian dramatic arts, and seeks to open a dialogue concerning everything from public theater to religious rituals to funeral rites. A handful of black-and-white photographs and diagrams, a bibliography, and an index round out both of scholarly titles, highly recommended for college libraries as well as students and professors of Egyptology and archaeology.
