Auteur: Ristvet, Lauren (University of Pennsylvania)
Editeur: Cambridge University Press
Lauren Ristvet rethinks the narratives of state formation by investigating the interconnections between ritual, performance, and politics in the ancient Near East. She uses a wide range of archaeological, iconographic, and cuneiform sources to show how ritual performance was not set apart from the practice of politics; it was politics.
