Research: Anatomy of otherness: the Other as a dysfunction in world-ordering thought. A comparative study of New Kingdom Egypt and Late Republican Rome.
My research project investigates the cultural, interpretive and narrative mechanisms through which societies structure and conceptualise the figure of the Other as an uncanny element within the order of their own world. Placing comparative analysis at its methodological core, the study relies on a dialogue between the history of religions and anthropology in order to decipher, from this perspective, primary sources from New Kingdom Egypt and Late Republican Rome.
