Abstract :
[en] This lecture will focus on the Book of Kemyt, a literary letter-like composition widely copied as extracts on several manuscript media during the New Kingdom (1552 – 1069 BC). It will be used as a case study to present how to conceive a competitive research project with dissemination actions. It will first address the state-of-the-art and the research questions. I will then turn my attention to copyright issues and partnerships, as well as the objectives to be fulfilled. It will allow us to move on to the methodology and discuss the tools used for the Kemyt manuscripts, which are worldwide spread. In the next step, I will explain how to develop a clear-cut work plan, with participation in conferences and writing papers. I will exemplify it with my latest paper and forthcoming paleography, which are as many steps for the Kemyt recontextualization.
