During the lecture, Joanna Popielska-Grzybowska (associate professor PhD, IMOC PAS) will discuss briefly her current and planned research on the Pyramid Texts with references to other ancient Egyptian religious texts. She will present the basics of the method used in her study against the background of other approaches. Consequently, she will consider and review her multilateral analysis formulated within the methodology developed in contemporary anthropological linguistics, focused on the "linguistic worldview" .. . JOS is fixed in language - in grammatical categories, lexis and phraseology, in common judgments expressing common ideas, as well as in beliefs, myths and rituals - interpretation of reality common within a certain group.

This approach allows one to start from very detailed intra-textual analyses and elevate the problem of interpretation to the level of a comprehensive analysis of the concepts found in the formulae of the Pyramid Texts or other. J. Popielska-Grzybowska will also delineate perspectives of her future work done in collaboration, in particular, ongoing attempts to outline the main thematic threads of the oldest religious texts.
