Ritual, simbolismo y cohesión social. La caza en el Egipto predinástico
Resumo
La caza ha sido entendida en muchas ocasiones, desde una perspectiva evolucionista, como un estadio anterior a la complejidad social, económica y política. Es cierto que su aportación al sustento alimenticio de la población de Egipto disminuyó en tiempos predinásticos y que la relación con los animales salvajes, exóticos, se ritualizó con la materialización de una ideología o cultura asociada al faraón, pero la caza, al igual que la pesca, siguió proporcionando unos productos que eran demandados por la sociedad. Se trata de una actividad que debe ser analizada teniendo en cuenta los planteamientos antropológicos, arqueológicos y artísticos para entender mejor su simbolismo y presencia en la memoria cultural del Egipto faraónico.Downloads
