Sommario/riassunto

In his latest book, Carlos Gracia Zamacona presents a corpus-based comprehensive analysis of the ancient Egyptian Coffin Texts (ca. 2000-1600 BCE), texts of enormous editorial, cultural, historical social, linguistic, anthropological, and religiious complexity. Rather than focusing on highly speculative hypothetical reconstructions of the texts



or interpretations of their religious or anthropological contents, Gracia Zamacona puts textual witnesses at the center of the study. By examining how and why the coffins were made and the information they give us about the mortuary culture of ancient Egypt, Gracia Zamacona shows that the Coffin Texts were a repository rather than a canon. His study offers new insight into the texts, revealing their performative and highly personalized practical context.

"En su último libro, Carlos Gracia Zamacona presenta un análisis exhaustivo basado en el corpos de los Textos de los Ataúdes del antiguo Egipto (hacia 2000-1600 ane), textos de una enorme complejidad editorial, cultural, histórica, social, lingüística, antropológica y religiosa. En lugar de centrarse en reconstrucciones hipotéticas altamente especulativas de los textos o interpretaciones de sus contenidos religiosos o antropológicos, el autor sitúa los testigos en el centro del estudio. Al examinar cómo y por qué se hicieron los ataúdes y la información que nos brindan sobre la cultura mortuoria del antiguo Egipto, el autor muestra que los Textos de los Ataúdes eran un repositorio más que un canon. Su estudio ofrece una nueva visión de los textos, revelando su contexto práctico performativo y altamente personalizado."--

Sommario/riassunto

Using an innovative combination of political theory, empirical analysis, and recognition of subaltern perspectives, McGrattan challenges the notion of ethno-nationalism as a foundation for peacebuilding and policy in Northern Ireland. This book calls for a re-evaluation of ethno-nationalism as the primary concept in political analysis of the region, highlighting both its analytical implications and constraints. This book will serve as a valuable resource for students and scholars studying Northern Ireland politics. -- Fidelma Ashe, Professor of Politics and Member of the Transitional Justice Institute, Ulster University, UK. This book addresses the limitations of dominant ways of thinking about and doing politics in Northern Ireland. Arguing for the foregrounding of anti-sectarianism as a way of displacing the divisive dynamics of religion and nationalism, it provides a new lens for studying Northern



Ireland. Drawing upon a close reading of the political philosophy of Jacques Rancière, the book aligns anti-sectarianism to the ways that people refuse affiliation with the traditional ethnic values and practices. It describes this refusal as dis-identification, and reveals how dissensus acts as an alternative to the displacing of equality. Returning equality and equality claims-making to a clear position of visibility, the book provides a radical rethinking of Northern Ireland a quarter century beyond the 1998 peace accord. It will appeal to all those interested in politics and peacebuilding studies. Cillian McGrattan is Lecturer in Politics at Ulster University, Northern Ireland. He is the author of Northern Ireland, 1968-2008 (2010), and The Politics of Trauma and Peacebuilding (2017). His book The Northern Ireland Conflict on the Margins of History: Protestant Memory on the Irish Border (with Ken Funston) is in preparation.
