Target group
Advanced students with special interest/training either in any of the ancient cultures of the wider Mediterranean and West Asia (archaeology, languages, history, historiography) or with specific training/focus in cross-regional migration and identity display of another period or area.

Objective
On completion of this course, students will
– have a deeper understanding of the complexity of socio-cultural dynamics in the Mediterranean and West Asian area of connectivity in the 8th–4th c. BCE
– be able to assess the multilateral responses to cross-regional migration in this phase of increasing globalisation
– be familiar with a range of methodological and theoretical approaches to commit critical research on cross-regional identity display
– be aware of their strengths and weaknesses regarding oral and written argumentation techniques for international scientific presentations.

Contents
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.
