摘要
即使在图坦卡蒙墓被发现一百年后,它的影响仍然可以感受到。在本文中,我们分析了1923年前往埃及的维克托·梅尔坎特(Víctor Mercante)的《图坦克·阿蒙与东方文明》(Tut Ankh Amon y la Civilización de Oriente,1928)一书。这是第一本用西班牙语写的关于图坦卡蒙的书。在书中,卡特的发现向读者揭示,并提出了一篇爱琴海论文,以了解这位古代法老的历史背景。爱琴海论文是指墨卡特提出的一项建议,通过该建议,爱琴海文明被直接归功于阿玛纳时期的所有文化、贸易和政治发展。Mercante的书是在东方主义的框架下,埃及学边缘的一篇文章,它标志着这门学科在阿根廷的开始。
Tutankhamun and Eastern Civilization: Víctor Mercante and the Beginnings of Egyptology in Argentina
Even one hundred years after the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb, its repercussions can still be felt. In this paper we analyze the book entitled Tut-Ankh-Amon y la Civilización de Oriente (1928) by Víctor Mercante, who travelled to Egypt in 1923. This is the first book about Tutankhamun ever written in Spanish. In it, Carter’s discovery is revealed to the reader and an Aegean thesis is proposed so as to understand the historical context of the ancient pharaoh. The Aegean thesis refers to a proposal made by Mercante by means of which the Aegean civilization is directly credited with all cultural, trade, and political development during the Amarna Period. Mercante’s book constitutes a piece of writing from the margins of Egyptology, within the framework of Orientalism, and it marks the beginning of the discipline in Argentina.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Egyptian History (JEgH) aims to encourage and stimulate a focused debate on writing and interpreting Egyptian history ranging from the Neolithic foundations of Ancient Egypt to its modern reception. It covers all aspects of Ancient Egyptian history (political, social, economic, and intellectual) and of modern historiography about Ancient Egypt (methodologies, hermeneutics, interplay between historiography and other disciplines, and history of modern Egyptological historiography). The journal is open to contributions in English, German, and French.
