Resumo(s)
De uma maneira geral, existe um consenso de que a mente humana só pode ser estudada
in loco e at hoc. Porém, nesta Tese pretendemos estudar aspectos da mentalidade da civilização
do Vale do Nilo. Para se atingir este fim, vamos recorrer a diversas fontes de Registos
Arqueológicos Egípcios, do Período Dinástico, que são meticulosamente apresentados com um
foco específico na História Egípcia de Maneton, nos Anais Reais, no Canos Real de Turim,
nas Listas Reais e nas Inscrições Monumentais de Seti I, faraó da dinastia XIX do Império
Novo. A este corpus documental vamos acrescentar a narrativa de Seti I, inscrita nas suas
grandes obras, durante o seu reinado. O grande objectivo será identificar de que maneira o
Tempo e a Memória, dois constructos mentais fundamentais para qualquer civilização, se
articulam com esta narrativa e foram, ou não, por ela modificados ou moldados. De forma a
verificar este fenómeno propomos uma análise de diversos conceitos relacionados com o
tempo, como o ‘Tempo Linear’ e o ‘Tempo Cíclico’, e com a memória, como a ‘Memória
Individual’, a ‘Memória Comunicativa’ e por fim a ‘Memória Cultural’.
A interacção destes diversos conceitos chave com a narrativa de Seti I poderá revelar
de que modo a memória e o tempo foram usados como ferramentas políticas, alterando o Tempo
Histórico e criando uma outra memória que foi absorvida por esta civilização do Nilo.
Identificando esta ‘capacidade de alterar o tempo’ e esta ‘capacidade de alterar a memória’ é
então fundamental perceber de que forma Seti I conseguiu com que os diversos níveis da
memória fossem, efectivamente, alterados. Em simultâneo, é incontornável compreender como
este rei conseguiu afectar da mesma forma o tempo que foi percepcionado pelos egípcios que
partilharam o espaço do início da dinastia XIX.
In general, there is a consensus that the human mind can only be studied in loco and at hoc. However, in this Thesis we propose to study aspects of the mentality of the Nile Valey Civilization. In order to achieve this end, we will draw on various Egyptian sources of Archaeological Records, from the Dynastic Period, which are meticulously presented with specific focus on the Egyptian History of Manethon, the Royal Annals, the Royal Canon of Turin, the Royal Lists and the Monumental Inscriptions of Seti I, pharaoh of the New Kingdom dynasty XIX. To this documentary corpus we will add the narrative of Seti I, which was inscribed in his great constructions, during his reign. The main objective will be to identify how time and memory, two fundamental mental constructs for any civilization, articulate with this narrative and were, or not, by it modified or shaped. In order to verify this phenomenon, we propose an analysis of various time-related concepts such as 'Linear Time' and 'Cyclic Time', and memory-related concepts, such as 'Individual Memory', 'Communicative Memory' and finally the 'Cultural Memory'. The interaction of these various key concepts with Seti I’s narrative can reveal how Memory and Time were used as political tools, altering Historical Time and creating another memory that was absorbed by the Nile Civilization. After identifying this ‘ability to alter time’ and this ‘ability to alter memory’, it is therefore essential to understand how Seti I was able to effectively alter the various levels of memory. At the same time, it is unavoidable to understand how this king was able to similarly affect the time as it was perceived by the Egyptians who shared with him the space of the early dynasty XIX.
