SUMMARY:ARCE-PA Lecture by Dr. Rune Nyord\, Emory University
DESCRIPTION:ARCE-PA Annual Felix Korsyn Lecture\nSaturday March 18 at 3:30pm\nPenn Museum\, Classroom L2 \nSpeaker: Dr. Rune Nyord\, Assistant Professor of Ancient Egyptian Art at Emory University and Samuel H. Kress Senior Fellow (2022/23) at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts in Washington\, D.C.\nLecture Topic: “No other satisfactory reason can be given”: The European discovery of the ancient Egyptian afterlife \nAbstract:\nThe modern understanding of the ancient Egyptians as bent on a quest for eternal life is the result of a long history of Western engagements with ancient Egypt. Associations like the preservation of bodies for eternity and initiation into religious mysteries interacted with textual sources of the Biblical and Classical traditions to shape images of the ancient culture that could be deployed in a variety of contexts for theological\, philosophical\, colonial\, and other purposes. This lecture examines some key formative moments in this tradition\, suggesting that many aspects of the modern understanding of Egyptian afterlife beliefs owe as much to the contemporary concerns of the milieus that helped shape them as to the ancient Egyptian sources that were only gradually becoming known as these ideas were crystalizing. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Rune Nyord is Assistant Professor of Ancient Egyptian Art at Emory University in Atlanta\, GA\, and Samuel H. Kress Senior Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts (2022/23) in Washington\, D.C. His research focuses on conceptions and experiences of representation\, ontology\, and personhood in ancient Egypt\, especially as evidenced in ancient Egyptian funerary culture\, as well as the history of Western engagements with ancient Egypt. He is the author of Breathing Flesh: Conceptions of the Body in the Ancient Egyptian Coffin Texts (Museum Tusculanum Press 2009) and Seeing perfection: Ancient Egyptian images beyond representation (Cambridge University Press 2020)\, and has edited and co-edited of several volumes\, the most recent being Concepts in Middle Kingdom Funerary Culture (Brill 2019). \nLectures are FREE for ARCE members.
