<div class="">– be familiar with a range of methodological and theoretical approaches to commit critical research on cross-regional identity display</div>

</span></b></div>
<div class="">This course focuses on an early phase of globalisation. In the 8th to 4th c. BCE, the wider Mediterranean region and West Asia witness a leap in cross-regional migration with regard to the geographical and social scope of people on the move. We
will study this increasing entanglement in the micro-cosmos of Egypt, where a wide range of strategies for displaying cross-regional identities is reflected in the cultural output. Special attention is given to the questions of how these primary sources can
be addressed to reveal the social dynamics and motivations behind them and how our modern prospects are to detect the human beings behind the artefacts.</div>
