SUMMARY:Society Sunday 2025 Public Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Communal Government and Forms of Dependency in the K’iche’ State \nJoin us as the AIA Societies Committee presents a virtual presentation and Q&A with Iyaxel Cojtí Ren. This presentation will also be available in American Sign Language. \nIn the Maya highlands during the Late Postclassic period (1250-1524 CE)\, the K’iche’ created an expansive state able to subdue various nations and form a network of dependent polities. Join archaeologist Iyaxel Cojtí Ren as she explains how the key to this lies in the K’iche’ forms of local community organization and how they were integrated into the larger K’iche’ political unit. \nLearn about the most common forms of community organization: chinamit and amaq’. Their members practiced communal solidarity and forms of communal government\, which were vital for reproduction\, problem-solving\, and territorial defense. The K’iche’ state’s strength resulted from incorporating these communities\, chinamit and amaq’\, and adopting some of their values and forms of government. For example\, in the Colonial-period K’iche’ texts\, the term tzuq “to sustain\, to feed” appears frequently to describe the relationship of mutual dependence that existed between rulers and K’iche’ communities. This means that the rulers also had obligations to take care of the population under their authority. And while reciprocity between rulers and those they ruled was far from equal\, the communal form of government employed by the K’iche’ allowed representatives of the people to exert sufficient influence to prevent oppressive rulers and defend the people’s interests. \nIyaxel Cojtí Ren\, originally from Chichicastenango\, Guatemala\, is a K’iche’ cultural archaeologist. Iyaxel completed her PhD in the department of anthropology at Vanderbilt University in Nashville\, TN. Since 2021\, she has worked as an assistant professor at the University of Texas at Austin. She serves as director of the Baja Verapaz Regional Archaeological Project (PARBEZ) and as co-investigator of the Mayalex Project. Her research and publications focus primarily on the archaeology\, history\, and culture of the Maya highland nations of Guatemala\, especially from the Postclassic period. Cojtí Ren received a fellowship from the Newberry Library in Chicago for 2024-2025 to focus on her forthcoming publications. \nThe lecture will also be available in American Sign Language and we will also enable auto captioning on Zoom. Due to Zoom limitations on mobile devices and tablets\, participants interested in accessing ASL interpretation should log in using the desktop version of Zoom.

SUMMARY:Recycling for Death: Coffin Reuse in Ancient Egypt and the Theban Royal Caches
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California chapter\, and the UC Berkeley Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures invite you to attend a Zoom lecture by Dr. Kara Cooney\, UCLA: \nRecycling for Death: Coffin Reuse in Ancient Egypt and the Theban Royal Caches\nSunday\, March 9\, 2025\, 3 PM PDT\nThis virtual lecture will be recorded. \nRegister in advance for this lecture:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/CwscA3JIRcqFh9owR0q6_Q \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nThere are a few things you should know before you join the lecture: \n* Advance registration is required. When you click on the link to “Register in advance for this lecture” you will receive instructions by email on how and when to join\, along with a link on which you will click to join the meeting. Save the email\, as you will need the link it contains to join the meeting. Please register now. Please do not share the join link with anyone\, it is unique to your email address. Try to join at least 10 minutes before the meeting. When you do join the meeting\, be prepared to be put in the waiting room until the lecture starts at 3 pm. This is a security measure. \n* If you haven’t already installed Zoom\, I recommend that you download and install the Zoom program (app) well before you try to join the meeting. There IS an option to use your web browser to join the meeting instead of the Zoom program\, but the browser interface is limited and depends greatly on what browser and what operating system you’re using. \n* For tutorials on how to use Zoom\, go to https://learn-zoom.us/show-me. In particular\, “Joining a Zoom Meeting” should show you what you need to do to join our lecture. \n* All meeting attendees can communicate with everyone\, or with individual participants\, using the chat window\, which can be opened by clicking on the chat button and which you can probably find at the bottom middle of your Zoom viewing screen. Participants will be encouraged to hold their questions for the speaker until after the lecture\, and will also be encouraged to address their questions for the speaker to everyone\, not just to the speaker\, so that all can see them. “Everyone” is the default chat option. \nIf you have any questions\, please email me at arcencZoom@gmail.com. \nGlenn Meyer\nARCE-NC ePublicity Director \nAbout the Lecture: \nIn this lecture Kara Cooney will discuss her latest book\, Recycling for Death\, a meticulous study of the social\, economic\, and religious significance of coffin reuse during the Ramesside and early Third Intermediate periods. Funerary datasets are the chief source of social history in Egyptology\, and the numerous tombs\, coffins\, Books of the Dead\, and mummies of the Twentieth and Twenty-first Dynasties have not been fully utilized as social documents\, mostly because the data of this time period are scattered and difficult to synthesize. This book is the culmination of fifteen years of coffin study\, analyzing coffins and other funerary equipment of elites from the Nineteenth to the Twenty-second Dynasties to provide essential windows into social strategies and adaptations employed during the Bronze Age collapse and subsequent Iron Age reconsolidation. \nAbout the Speaker: \nKara Cooney is a professor of Egyptology at UCLA and Chair of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures. Specializing in social history\, gender studies\, and economies in the ancient world\, she received her Ph.D. in Egyptology from Johns Hopkins University. Her popular books include The Woman Who Would Be King: Hatshepsut’s Rise to Power in Ancient Egypt\, When Women Ruled the World: Six Queens of Egypt\, and The Good Kings: Absolute Power in Ancient Egypt and the Modern World. Her latest books include Ancient Egyptian Society: Challenging Assumptions\, Exploring Approaches (Routledge\, 2023) and Recycling for Death: Coffin Reuse in Ancient Egypt and the Theban Royal Caches (The American University in Cairo Press\, October 2024). \nAbout ARCE-NC: \nFor more information\, please visit https://facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernCaliforniaArce\, or http://khentiamentiu.org.
