Theory in Egyptology Anatomy of a Discipline by Uroš Matić, Ludwig Maximilian University/Barnard College, Columbia University https://www.equinoxpub.com/projects/theory-in-egyptology Egyptology is in wider archaeological and historical context known as a discipline which more often than not lacks reflection on its theoretical and methodological background. Although several volumes which critically deal with the research history in Egyptology have appeared in the last few decades, a comprehensive study on the conditions of knowledge about ancient Egypt is still missing. There are several edited volumes and monographs which deal with theory in archaeology and history, however, Egyptology is rarely discussed in these works. This is because Egyptologists rarely reflect on the ways they produce knowledge on ancient Egypt.
