Resumo

Neste artigo parto da ideia de que as imagens nas paredes das tumbas faraônicas não deveriam ser pensadas como representações, mas como estratégias material-discursivas criadas pelo morto conscientemente, para afetar o público com acesso à capela da tumba. Seu objetivo era fazer com que os visitantes lessem as fórmulas de oferenda e declamassem seu nome em voz alta, para ativar a magia do lugar e tornar as oferendas reais, possibilitando assim sua volta ao mundo dos vivos. As cenas, pensadas não como representações, mas como estratégias material-discursivas, enquanto corpos, colocam em movimento fluxos afetivos que podem aumentar ou diminuir a capacidade de ação das pessoas. Desta maneira, entender o que as cenas significam depende do entendimento do que elas podem fazer, enquanto corpos afetivos.
