Interdisciplinary Egyptology (IntEg) is a peer-reviewed journal which reports on high-quality research that IntEgrates the study of ancient Egypt with other related disciplines. The journal champions Egyptological research with a broad scientific scope that incorporates Egyptology with one or more approaches drawn from related scientific fields.
IntEg promotes research that has a strong foundation in modern historical and archaeological theory, the natural sciences and stringent fieldwork protocols with the highest standards; we promote IntEgrity and IntEgration in Egyptological research. IntEg welcomes research from a broad chronological and geographical scope, in-so-far as it directly relates to the study of Egyptology as a modern, scientific discipline.
IntEg is an independent journal, offering a free-to-publish, fully peer-reviewed, fully Open Access service. All of this is possible because we have an amazing Editorial Team, all of whom are professional Egyptologists across all career stages, who are volunteering their time to bring this service to you. We all believe in the spirit of and need for a journal like IntEg in our field.
This special issue of Interdisciplinary Egyptology presents the proceedings of the workshop Egyptology in dialogue: Historical bodies in relations, comparisons, and negotiations, which was held at Emory University, November 2022. It is edited by Camilla Di Biase-Dyson, Rune Nyord, Leire Olabarria, and Reinert Skumsnes. All research articles in the volume were double-blind peer reviewed.
What insights can ancient Egyptian sources lend to our understanding of the human body? And what multidisciplinary perspectives can Egyptologists draw on to bring ancient sources around the body into dialogue with current phenomena and priorities?
Through engagement with recent anthropological and archaeological theory, the contributions to this volume recognise that every society understands the human body in its own way and thus that the body has a history and a culture-specific logic that warrants exploration. The volume moreover explores how bodies are relationally contingent, existing in both explicit relations with each other and their surroundings and in implicit relations across time and space. These relational encounters can be studied on their own or in comparisons between and negotiations with other entities, perspectives, time periods, and spaces.
By exploring these concepts with case studies from across the archaeological, visual, and textual record, this special issue includes conversations that extend well beyond the discipline, enabling us to engage with Egypt’s rich archaeological record with new theoretical and methodological awareness.
