SUMMARY:

This work aims to join forces with brazilian intellectual production about the African continent. Expanding its scope beyond Egypt and Africa in a colonial context, focusing on its antiquity and addressing the conquest of the Napatan Empire over Ancient Egypt. This contact resulted in the 25th Egyptian Dynasty (712-656 B.C.E.), and our main goal is to analyse the royal statuary produced at the time, its uses by the conquerors, and the resulting iconography, endowed with both Egyptian and Nubian cultural elements. In this way, we seek to highlight the entanglements present in the material culture resulting from this contact, which elements connect, what can be inferred through their analysis, and which discourses emerge about royalty. We move away from conservative positions that assumed the Nubians as mere imitators and from the Eurocentric understanding that considered Egyptian culture as superior and Nubian culture as an appendix to Egyptian history. We posit the entanglement as the encounter of two border identities, combined with attempts to permeate and solidify ethnic barriers between “us” and “them”. To this end, we will use a comparative documentary corpus, composed of seventy statues of royal representation, whether votive or funerary. Fifty of these are representations of Napatan monarchs, and twenty of monarchs from pre- and post-conquest periods, through which we aim to infer the connections between Egyptians and Nubians.
