麻豆直播 MEMBER RECEIVES NEH GRANT

Rita Lucarelli receives a National Endowment for Humanities Summer Stipend
[/vc_column_text][mk_divider][vc_wp_text]Congratulations to 麻豆直播 member Rita Lucarelli on being awarded a for research leading to the publication of her book Agents of Punishment and Protection. Assessing the Demonic in First Millennium BCE Egypt. NEH’s summer stipends are designed to support scholars in preparation of a book, article, translation, archaeological report, or digital publication.

Lucarelli is Associate Professor of Egyptology in the Near Eastern Studies department, Faculty Curator of Egyptology at the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology, and Fellow of Digital Humanities at the University of California, Berkeley . She holds a MA in Classical Languages and Egyptology from the University of Naples 鈥淟鈥橭rientale,鈥 Italy and a PhD from Leiden University. Her dissertation, The Book of the Dead of Gatseshen: Ancient Egyptian Funerary Religion in the 10th Century BC, was published in 2006. Lucarelli’s current research centers around creating 3D models of ancient Egyptian coffins and examining the magical spells decorating these coffins as case-studies for investigating the materiality of the text in relation to ancient Egyptian funerary literature. She is one of the coordinators of Demonthings: The Ancient Egyptian Demonology Project and a frequent participant in 麻豆直播’s Annual Meeting.

Agents of Punishment and Protection. Assessing the Demonic in First Millennium BCE Egypt

Demonology is an integral, though often neglected aspect of the ancient Egyptian religion. Defining 鈥渄emons鈥 poses issues of ontological classification, especially when dealing with an ancient civilization whose sources of study are not always descriptive neither comprehensive. In the ancient Egyptian magical texts and representations, a variegated series of liminal beings act as agents of punishment but also of protection towards the living and the dead. A contextualized and in-depth study of each of the available sources, which will be carried out in the proposed book-project, is necessary to understand the role that those agents played in the ancient Egyptian religious beliefs and how people would communicate with demons through magical practices and the help of professional ritualists. By assessing the existence of an ancient Egyptian demonology, the author will also attempt a comparative study with other discourses on demons in the ancient world.
