The Near Eastern Late Bronze Age is known for heightened political and economic interconnectivity as kings of wealthy states like Egypt and Hatti competed in the pursuit of valuable commodities, raw materials and technologies. An outcome of this interaction is argued to be the creation of a shared elite visual culture, an idiom of kingship, that has been called the 'International Style' in scholarship. This dissertation critiques the model and investigates evidence for this so-called style from Egypt, in particular addressing artefacts from the tomb of Tutankhamen that have been associated with this style in the past. It challenges the model for a shared idiom of kingship from Egypt and instead proposes an internal value within 18th royal rhetoric.
Narratives are primary agents in the production of social meaning and identity. They are articulated not only in oral and literal forms of expression, but also through images and artefacts. By virtue of their materiality, these objects bearing narrative potential have their speci¿ c contexts of appreciation. But how do images actually trigger narration? Can we describe the social loci of their observation? And how do these contexts ¿ social practices, religious rituals, demonstrations of political power ¿ interact with, and reaffect the artefacts in question? Both case studies from archaeology and approaches from a wider range of cultural studies seek to answer these questions within a broader methodological framework.
