ISBN10: 9042934956, ISBN13: 9789042934955, [publisher: Peeters Publishers, Leuven] Hardcover Hardcover. From prehistoric figurines and graffiti to modern digital photographs,human beings repeatedly produced images, transforming the world itselfinto a relentless fabric of images. This volume presents the proceedingsof the international conference held at the Institute of Archaeology -UCL, London in 2014 inside the framework of the European project"EPOCHS", with the aim to explore the fertile imaginary world of MiddleBronze Age Egypt (2000-1500 BC). Images do not exist in theirontological isolation, as atomic unity, but they form a complex agencynetwork with other images and with the society that produced them, hencethe title "Company of Images". Eighteen papers focus on this intricateweb, tackling the topic from different perspectives: material culture,archaeological finds, anthropological and social relations, iconographicrepresentations, and analysis of the written sources, includinglinguistic approaches. The final goal is to highlight theoretical andmethodological issues in order to explore connections between the imagesand their society, people who created images and who were recursivelyaffected by the images they created.
