Beschreibung

Texts and images do not exist independently of their carrier objects. This interplay of interdependencies is considered theoretically and on the basis of ancient Egyptian sources.
Texts and images do not exist independently of their carrier objects: they facilitate their distribution and use. However, the characteristics of carriers were adapted to the use, as was the selection of texts and images.
This interplay of interdependencies is considered theoretically and on the basis of ancient Egyptian sources, offering up fresh approaches to two old questions. The consequences for the possible scope and limits of archaeological reconstruction of past contexts lead on to methodological self-reflection in the field of Egyptology. In addition, opportunities to describe complex action-patterns in former times relationships are unveiled. The relativity of addressing objects in different contexts and a meaning-orientated pluralism rapidly emerges, which in turn leads to more individualism of the individual object.
