German description: Der Band Bild: Asthetik – Medium – Kommunikation umfasst 14 Beitrage, die im Rahmen der dritten Tagung des Munchner Arbeitskreises Junge Aegyptologie (MAJA) im Dezember 2012 vorgestellt und diskutiert wurden. Die uberwiegend jungen internationalen Autoren widmen sich altagyptischen Bildern in ihrer Bedeutung als asthetische Artefakte und fragen nach kulturspezifischen Wahrnehmungs- und Kommunikationsmodi bzw. Kontexten, medialen Bedingungen und Vermittlungsstrategien. Der Munchner Arbeitskreis Junge Aegyptologie ist ein Forum fur Nachwuchswissenschaftlerinnen und Nachwuchswissenschaftler, das dem Austausch und vor allem der Prasentation neuer Forschungsansatze und -ergebnisse in der Agyptologie dient. Die MAJA-Workshops finden regelmaaig in Form einer offenen Diskussionsrunde mit Vortragen zu einem speziellen Themenbereich statt.
