Resumen:
In world-systems terms, the reunited Egyptian state can be classified as a core area during the Middle Kingdom, while the Levant and Upper Nubia, mainly the cities of Byblos and Kerma respectively, can be defined as its northern and southern peripheries, due to their supposed asymmetrical relationships to central Egypt. In the peripheries there were no active traces of economic exploitation or political domination by the ‘core’ during the Middle Kingdom, but instead there are traces of cultural, economical or political practices originating from it. The same is not true in the opposite direction. This paper reviews the evidence for this asymmetry in both textual and archaeological sources and the interpretation they have received during the last few years.
