Framställningar & uppfattningar om kvinnan och åldrande I forna Egypten / Representations & perceptions about women and aging in ancient Egypt

Pettersson, Sara January 2021 (has links)
This essay is about women in ancient Egypt and their relation to aging and why they are rarely depicted other than beautiful and young, when it was a possibility for men to be depicted old in ancient Egypt. Looking at the examples in existence of depictions of aging in women, following questions will be discussed. How is a woman with signs of aging depicted and what does these characteristics convey to the viewer? By looking at tomb paintings and statues showing signs of age, these questions will be discussed and put in context in hope of gaining a better understanding of how female age was perceived in ancient Egypt. The main conclusion drawn from this study is that signs of aging in ancient Egypt had a pronounced symbolic value. In addition to this, there is no direct answer why the signs of aging on women were depicted as they were, but there are some speculations why a woman is portrayed older and why she is not.

No. of bitstreams: 1 LucianaCC_TESE.pdf: 4454358 bytes, checksum: acd9ca889a0f174c8d5f49b94bbd79be (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-04-01 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / This research looks at the collective imagination in which it keeps alive the issue of heroin wise. Two wise women appear in the narratives of popular history and the History of Donzela Theodora and History Imperatriz Porcina, collated by Lu?s da C?mara Cascudo in his Five Books of the People. The universality, mobility and circularity of these narratives are discussed by authors such as Bakhtin and Guinzburg. The research is developed from three key categories: Knowledge Magic as the knowledge of tradition (Almeida), sensitive knowledge (Levi-Strauss), thought mythical / magical / symbolic (Morin); Wise Women as carriers of this knowledge, which merge and overlap with the imagery of witches and healers; and Mythical Elements which corresponds to the archetypal images (Jung and Silveira), symbols and other images that relate to the magic universe, the magical beliefs and practices considered, ie belonging to the imaginary magic (Bethencourt). Porcina and Theodora are understood as bearers of knowledge of M?tis (Detienne and Vernant), or the cunning intelligence, the manipulation of ph?rmakon (Derrida), the healing potion, which may be the word or ointment of the herb. The route takes us to meet the great archetype of the Wise Woman as psychic power of the feminine, the anima. Narratives are medicinal balms (Estes) and is the clash between the anima and its embodiments by wise women, and animus, his opponents, which gives the transmutation of the psyche, a work comparable to that of alchemyThe Knowledge Magic, operating through the female, myth and nature can recover from its essential value to the emerging paradigm that suggests a more complete human science and a more plural / A presente pesquisa se volta para o imagin?rio coletivo no qual se mant?m viva a tem?tica da hero?na s?bia. Duas mulheres s?bias aparecem nas narrativas populares Hist?ria da Donzela Teodora e a Hist?ria da Imperatriz Porcina, cotejadas por Lu?s C?mara Cascudo em sua obra Cinco Livros do Povo. A universalidade, a mobilidade e a circularidade dessas narrativas s?o discutidas a partir de autores como Bakhtin e Guinzburg. A pesquisa se desenvolve a partir de tr?s categorias chaves: o Saber M?gico como saberes da tradi??o (Almeida), saberes sens?veis (L?vi-Strauss), pensamento m?tico/m?gico/simb?lico (Morin); Mulheres S?bias como as operadoras desse saber, que se confundem e se imbricam com o imagin?rio das bruxas e curandeiras; e Elementos M?ticos que corresponde ?s imagens arquet?picas (Jung e Silveira), s?mbolos e demais imagens que remetam ao universo m?gico, ?s cren?as e pr?ticas consideradas m?gicas, ou seja, pertencentes ao imagin?rio da magia (Bethencourt). Teodora e Porcina s?o compreendidas como portadoras do saber da m?tis (Detienne e Vernant), ou seja, da intelig?ncia astuta, da manipula??o do ph?rmakon (Derrida), a po??o de cura, que pode ser a palavra ou o ung?ento de erva. O percurso nos leva ao encontro do grande arqu?tipo da Mulher S?bia enquanto pot?ncia ps?quica do feminino, a anima. As narrativas s?o b?lsamos medicinais (Est?s) e ? no embate entre a anima e suas personifica??es atrav?s de mulheres s?bias, e o animus, seus oponentes, que se d? a transmuta??o da psique, um trabalho compar?vel ao da alquimia. O Saber M?gico, operando atrav?s do feminino, do mito e da natureza pode recuperar seu valor indispens?vel junto ao paradigma emergente que aponta um humano mais completo e uma ci?ncia mais plural

The role and status of women during the pre-monarchic period (1200-105 BC)

Sha, Halima 11 1900 (has links)
The lives of women are largely hidden in the Old Testament. New archaeological investigationsinto the households of Iron Age I have brought forward new evidence that sheds light on theauthority status and roles of women in the pre-monarchic tribal community. Conventional theory perceives that women were always oppressed and marginalised under a malevolentsystem of male rule in the Bible. The evidence indicates differently. Investigations in thedomestic sphere, where the household processes were under women’s control and management, imply that women held authority that was equal to male power in the public domain. It has been revealed that women held significant positions in the public sphere as well.This study, therefore, is an investigation into women’s status and the wide-ranging socioeconomicand religious roles they held within a system of male rule that allowed women theirauthority and autonomy in a unique period of Israelite history. / Biblical and Ancient Studies / M.
