ANTIGUO EGIPTO HISTORIA POLITICA HISTORIA DE EGIPTO |
description |
Abstract: The publication of a book which approaches topics with a
strong theoretical bias is always very welcome. Naturally,
ancient Egypt is a relevant leading case for the study of the
diverse dynamics of emergence, expansion, contraction, and
even collapse of socio-political entities, due to its characterization
as a pristine state and an evolvement through time
which allows analyzing varied interrelational practices with
other neighboring socio-political entities.
Comparison with other expansive polities – not only
ancient but also modern or even contemporary – is a useful
methodological resource to propose and eventually adjust
concepts and categories which allow the explanation of
dynamics that can also be corroborated in the past. Nevertheless,
Morris states that creating or reifying classificatory
schemes is not a goal of her work, and that she based her
views on previous works of political scientists, anthropologists,
and comparative historians (p. 8). She also sustains
that her interest in the study of ancient Egyptian imperialism
is not new and her goal in this contribution is not only to
expand the analysis to other socio-political situations in
ancient Egypt than those she analyzed in previous works, but
also to reach a wider audience (p. 3). |
