SUMMARY:Theodore N. Romanoff Lecture (ARCE): "The Medium is the Message"
DTSTART:20190228T230000Z

DESCRIPTION:We usually think of ancient Egypt as a culture of 'big bui
 lding,' especially at the hands of the king. Yet there are some cases 
 where royal stelae\, bearing the officially sanctioned messages of the
  royal establishment\, were inscribed into natural features rather tha
 n being set up in architectural spaces. These stelae were carved direc
 tly into 'living rock'--outcrops that are still where they were formed
  geologically. How did Egyptian views of living rock as a material inf
 orm this practice\, and how was this monument type perceived to 'work'
 ? This lecture explores the circumstances that led Egyptian kings to u
 se the landscape as a monumental medium\, and what those messages can 
 tell us about how the landscape was understood.
