Egyptology has had a major impact on the development of memory studies, with Jan Assmann's notion of cultural memory becoming a widespread model within the humanities. Despite this outstanding contribution of Egyptology to memory studies, remarkably few recent works on ancient Egypt deal with memory from a theoretical and methodological point of view. This Element provides a general introduction to memory, followed by a discussion of the role of materiality and performativity in the process of remembering. A case study from Middle Kingdom Abydos illustrates how memory can be embodied in the monumental record of ancient Egypt. The purpose of this Element is to present an up-to-date introduction to memory studies in Egyptology and to invite the reader to rethink how and why memory matters.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55749903384949,"sku":"9781009419048","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781009419048","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
