Materialidade da Escrita, Cuneiforme, MesopotâmiaRésumé
Este artigo objetiva compreender a relação entre a materialidade da escrita e a escrita cuneiforme na antiga Mesopotâmia. Inicialmente, discutimos como as abordagens tradicionais aplicadas a textos, a partir do “modelo linguístico” e suas derivações, contribuíram para a desmaterialização da escrita ao priorizar a mensagem escrita em detrimento do material inscrito. Em seguida, debatemos os conceitos de material e materialidade, levando em conta tanto as condições de existência e as propriedades materiais do suporte/objeto, como as relações
materiais que fazem com que a escrita se concretize. Por fim, apresentamos dois estudos de caso que consideram a relação entre sujeitos, objetos e ambientes dentro do contexto em que circulam, partindo de abordagens analíticas mais recentes, aplicadas aos estudos de cultura material, que conferem à materialidade um papel ativo nas relações sociais. O primeiro estudo de caso apresenta os tabletes de argila em um contexto preciso de relações administrativas, problematizando a visão de que seriam suportes ou veículos para uma mensagem. Já no segundo, trazemos as possíveis compreensões da relação entre materialidade, texto e imagem em relevos parietais palacianos.
