Graffiti Quest: Proceedings of the workshop at Harris Manchester College, University of Oxford, 17 July 2023: Harvard Egyptological Studies, cartea 29

Chloé Agar, Niv Allon, Linda Hulin, Hana Navratilova, Tim Penn, Marina Sartori
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 sep 2026
In Graffiti Quest, you step into an Egyptian world where walls speak. Ordinary and extraordinary people pen and carve quick insults, political slogans, prayers, and proud declarations—proof that ancient graffiti makers were just as likely to praise a king as to mock a colleague. This interdisciplinary volume invites you into the conversations sparked at a 2023 workshop, where archaeologists, historians, and epigraphers rethink how people engage with places and spaces. Featuring rare images, unpublished archival material, and fresh case studies, these proceedings offer you new tools and new stories that transform the way we read Egypt’s inscribed past.
