Resumo
A proposta deste artigo é apresentar um breve histórico sobre a produção acadêmica relativa aos estudos da alimentação no Egito antigo, com suas articulações no campo de gênero. Egiptólogos investigaram as práticas alimentares desarticuladas dos estudos de gênero e do papel das mulheres, privilegiando a religião e os estudos funerários. No entanto, os estudos de gênero articularam a produção dos alimentos, o âmbito doméstico e o papel das mulheres na egiptologia. Descobertas arqueológicas e o desenvolvimento de uma atitude crítica por parte dos egiptólogos têm contribuído para desconstruir os modelos teóricos anacrônicos para as mulheres e as relações de gênero, bem como tirar a egiptologia do seu próprio isolamento.
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present a brief history of the academic studies on nutrition in ancient Egypt - and its relation with Gender Studies. Previous studies on eating habits by Egyptologists have disregarded the aspect of gender and the role of women, mainly focusing on religion and funerary practices. However, Gender Studies have articulated food production and the domestic role of women in Egypt. Archaeological discoveries and the development of a critical attitude by Egyptologists have contributed to deconstruct anachronistic theoretical models for women and gender relations as well as removed Egyptology from its own isolationism.
Key Words: Egypt, Gender, Women’s History, Historiography
