Paperback. Condition: New. For most people the mention of graffiti conjures up notions of subversion, defacement, and underground culture. Yet, the term was coined by classical archaeologists excavating Pompeii in the 19th century and has been embraced by modern street culture: graffiti have been left on natural sites and public monuments for tens of thousands of years. They mark a position in time, a relation to space, and a territorial claim. They are also material displays of individual identity and social interaction. As an effective, socially accepted medium of self-definition, ancient graffiti may be compared to the modern use of social networks. This book shows that graffiti, a very ancient practice long hidden behind modern disapproval and street culture, have been integral to literacy and self-expression throughout history. Graffiti bear witness to social events and religious practices that are difficult to track in normative and official discourses. This book addresses graffiti practices, in cultures ranging from ancient China and Egypt through early modern Europe to modern Turkey, in illustrated short essays by specialists. It proposes a holistic approach to graffiti as a cultural practice that plays a key role in crucial aspects of human experience and how they can be understood.…

Graffiti, dipinti, rock-inscriptions and other additions to walls and rocks are integral to the landscape and writing practices of ancient Egypt. This book focuses on the margins of traditional ancient Egyptian epigraphic corpora. It aims to provide an all-encompassing view of graffiti practices and corpora in ancient Egypt, ranging from predynastic rock art in the Eastern Desert, to hieratic inscriptions in Middle Egyptian tombs, and demotic signatures in Karnak temple. A range of specialists present primary data from three different environments?deserts, tombs, and temples?following common lines of inquiry that aim to look beyond their textual or iconographic content and address graffiti?s agency more closely. Accordingly, this book investigates the interplay between secondary inscriptions and images, the space in which they were embedded, and the audiences for whom they were intended. Despite the diversity inherent in the nature of graffiti, common paths and shared threads of discussion emerge once these inscriptions are considered as material objects and socio-cultural practices. Graffiti, dipinti, inscriptions rupestres et autres ajouts sur les murs et les parois rocheuses font partie intégrante du paysage et des pratiques d'écriture de l'Égypte ancienne. Ce livre se concentre sur les marges des corpus épigraphiques traditionnels et vise en effet à fournir une vue d'ensemble des graffiti en Égypte ancienne, allant de l'art rupestre prédynastique dans le désert Oriental aux inscriptions hiératiques dans les tombes de Moyenne Égypte, en passant par les signatures démotiques du temple de Karnak. Plusieurs spécialistes présentent des données primaires provenant de trois environnements différents ? les déserts, les tombes et les temples ? suivant des lignes d'enquête communes, qui visent à aller au-delà du seul contenu textuel ou iconographique et à examiner de plus près le fonctionnement des graffiti. L'ouvrage examine ainsi l'interaction entre les inscriptions et les images secondaires, l'espace dans lequel elles étaient intégrées et les publics auxquels elles étaient destinées. Malgré la diversité inhérente aux corpus présentés, des voies communes et des fils de discussion partagés émergent une fois que ces inscriptions sont considérées comme des objets matériels et des pratiques socioculturelles.…
