‘Four little words’ analyses the meanings of ‘Ancient’, ‘Egyptian’, ‘art’, and ‘architecture’ in order to understand how Egyptian art and architecture are studied and discussed, why and how they have influenced the modern world, and whether iconic examples of Egyptian artworks and buildings are in any way representative of cultural norms and lived experience in the ancient past. When is ‘ancient’ Egypt? Where and what was ‘Egypt’ in antiquity and how did its people describe themselves and their land? Art and architecture are considered to comprise those objects made in such a way that their form and materials contribute to their representational power, social or symbolic significance, and aesthetic qualities.

The Bronze Age

AbstractDebate about states and markets in the Bronze Age world has directed attention away from their roles and thus away from the way these economies functioned. The ancient Egyptian state assigned fields to its dependents and stimulated demand by spending and taxation. Markets and market forces were responsible for the allocation and distribution of materials in the ancient Near East from the end of the third millennium. Growth did not result from technological improvement or market competition so much as from demand stimulus, as in the modern world, suggesting that demand is more important than supply.

‘Out of Egypt’ considers how other cultures have engaged with ancient Egyptian art and architecture from the incorporation of Egypt in the Roman empire to the colonial era of Napoleon and beyond. Egyptian art became part of the classical heritage, but was also seen as strange and different. Did ancient Egypt deserve admiration or condemnation? Was it the source of Greek culture, as writers like Herodotus suggested, or was it part of darkest Africa or the exotic Orient (as later European thinking went) and thus nothing to do with ‘us’ at all? The legacy of ancient Egyptian art and architecture continues to shape contemporary relationships between the West, Africa, and the Arab world.

This chapter sketches the nature of evidence to be gained from careful analysis of the ceramic remains in ancient Egypt, and the ways to achieve it, explaining some of the advances made in recent years. Pottery provides the most ubiquitous archaeological source material derived from ancient Egypt. Early archaeologists only tended to show interest in pottery when it was intact and/or of aesthetically pleasing shape or decoration, but this important source material has turned into primary evidence when dating a site. It provides information on the history of use of a site as well as on socio-economic issues, such as importations from other sites or even abroad, and glimpses into possible functions of sites.

Repetition or the practice of copying preeminently structured artistic activity in ancient Egypt. Besides its role in training, as a technique of learning to practice an art, and also serving documentary purposes in creating record copies, it served as a conscious artistic strategy in the act of representation. Different modes of the practice coexisted, such as replication or the effort to reproduce perfect replicas, differential reproduction that encouraged variation as well as emulation and could result in transformation, and finally eclectic imitation that characterized “archaism.” What were deemed as appropriate to serve as models for imitation in ancient Egyptian visual culture at any moment depended not only on the particular aesthetic and historical contexts but also on their accessibility, be it physical or archival.

Thanks to mummification, the physical remains of many rulers of ancient Egypt are still observable today and constitute a valuable source of information. By evaluating the age at death and sometimes elucidating the degree of kinship and circumstances of death, our knowledge of ancient Egyptian history becomes more precise. Different pathologic conditions have been found and the evolution of the mummification process can be seen through time.The most spectacular discovery was that of Tutankhamen’s mummy, the single totally undisturbed tomb, associated with a fabulous treasure.The mummy of Ramses II has been extensively studied, the only one that flew to Paris where an irradiation was delivered in order to eradicate a destructive fungal infection.The identification of Akhenaten’s mummy and the explanation for his peculiar appearance are still unsolved problems.Noticeably, many Royal mummies remain of uncertain identity or undiscovered hitherto.

The analysis of existing types of cyberbullying and their individual characteristics is made. The examples of legislative acts of different countries is concluded that there is deficiency of relevant rules of low. It is emphasized that anyone can become a victim of in the modern world. At the same time a risk of becoming a victim of cyberbullying does not depend on any factors (for example financial position of victim, his or her age, sex, social position etc.). It is noted that communications that are made in cyberspace provide an opportunity for users to choose information they want to make public carefully and in advance. In most cases it contributes to help people show theirs strengths (for example, when communicating in chats). In results there is often false sympathy between network interlocutors and they trust each other. So the idealization of the partner happens and any his or her information is perceived more sensitive than during direct communication. This effect is successfully used during cyberbullying, when first one person inspires the trust of another and then changes communication tactics, becoming faithless and aggressive. It is emphasized that the cyberbullying phenomenon is very underestimated and that`s why it is a serious problem. The brief overview of existing technologies and means of counteracting this phenomenon is made. The comparison of their effectiveness is made. The standards that modern and effective technology of cyberbullying resistance must meet are systematized. There are examples of successful realization of user protection in most popular social network. It is emphasized that for cyberbullying resistance nowadays in most cases the protection technologies of it is to localize undesirable content in terms of the existence of cyberbullying. Based on the results of this research it is confirmed that the cyberbullying will spread further. This is due to the constant increase in the number of users of new network services and online platforms for communication. For effective defense against cyberbullying it is required the introduction of organizational and technical measures. At the end it is proposed the general assessment of further development of cyberbullying and the ways to improve appropriate countermeasures.

The chapter explores the discourse and experience of motherhood within Japan’s low-fertility regime in the early modern period. In a manner rarely seen elsewhere in the early modern world, Japanese families used various means, from infanticide to adoption, to correlate family size with income. The chapter examines a wide range of primary sources to explore the effects of family planning on motherhood in two dimensions, the biological and the social. It also examines motherhood as a lived experience through the writings of Inoue Tsūjo, Kuroda Tosako, and Sekiguchi Chie.
