Abstract

"Until relatively recently, scholars of Egyptian history tended to understand the modern period to begin with the flow of European people and ideas to Egypt's northern shores sparked by Napoleon's invasion in 1798. From this perspective, modern Egyptian history was animated by the diverse and sometimes--contradictory ways in which Egyptians responded over time to colonial power and modern forms of knowledge. This handbook adds to a growing literature that complicates the facile colonizer-colonized and modern-tradition binaries undergirding this view. Rather than reactionary, modern Egyptian history is a continuous process of translation and adaptation, invention and reinvention. Contributors to the handbook address both long-persisting themes in the field, though in new ways, as well as new themes reshaping how we understand modern Egyptian history, and thus Middle Eastern and global history"--

Abstract

This is the first volume on the history of the Nile Delta to cover the c.7000 years from the Predynastic period to the twentieth century. It offers a multidisciplinary approach engaging with varied aspects of the region's long, complex, yet still underappreciated history. Readers will learn of the history of settlement, agriculture and the management of water resources at different periods and in different places, as well as the naming and mapping of the Delta and the roles played by tourism and archaeology. The wide range of backgrounds of the contributors and the broad panoply of methodological and conceptual practices deployed enable new spaces to be opened up for conversations and cross-fertilization across disciplinary and chronological boundaries. The result is a potent tribute to the historical significance of this region and the instrumental role it has played in the shaping of past, present and future Afro-Eurasian worlds.

Abstract

Polymorphes et polyvalents, si les dieux de l'Égypte sont présents sur les stèles, les papyrus, les statues, les temples, ils semblent insaisissables : dans une religion sans dogme ni livre canonique, l'existence des dieux nous parvient fragmentée, éclatée en autant de parcelles vivantes qu'il y a de documents. Claude Traunecker propose au lecteur des clés pour pénétrer dans l'imaginaire des anciens Égyptiens, approcher le monde des dieux de l'Égypte et appréhender cette religion du savoir qui, pendant trois millénaires, a accumulé des connaissances du vrai justifiant des apparences du réel.

Abstract

"In Revolution Squared Atef Shahat Said examines the 2011 Egyptian Revolution to trace the expansive range of liberatory possibilities and containment at the heart of every revolution. Drawing on historical analysis and his own participation in the revolution, Said outlines the importance of Tahrir Square and other physical spaces as well as the role of social media and digital spaces. He develops the notion of lived contingency-the ways revolutionary actors practice and experience the revolution in terms of the actions they do or do not take-to show how Egyptians made sense of what was possible during the revolution. Said charts the lived contingencies of Egyptian revolutionaries from the decade prior to the revolution's outbreak to its peak and the so-called transition to democracy to the 2013 military coup into to the present. Contrary to retrospective accounts and counterrevolutionary thought, Said argues that the Egyptian Revolution was not doomed to defeat. Rather, he demonstrates that Egyptians did not fully grasp their immense clout and that limited reformist demands reduced the revolution's potential for transformation" --

Abstract

Ce livre propose l'édition de onze papyrus grecs documentaires de la collection Fouad. La majeure partie de la collection a été achetée en 1930 par le roi Fouad Ier d'Égypte et donnée à la Société royale égyptienne de papyrologie (connue plus tard sous le nom de Société Fouad Ier de papyrologie). La collection a été augmentée par d'autres achats ou dons au cours des années suivantes, et déposée à l?Ifao en 1961. L'introduction du volume donne un aperçu historique des acquisitions et des origines de la collection. Dans ce volume, les papyrus édités sont un mélange de documents privés et publics (déclarations, pétitions, contrats, reçus, etc.) qui reflètent la vie quotidienne des différentes couches de la société et l'activité de l'administration provinciale locale dans l'Égypte romaine. Ces documents datent du début du ier siècle de notre ère jusqu'au début du iiie siècle, et proviennent des nomes Arsinoite, Oxyrhynchite et Lykopolite. Ils sont classés par ordre chronologique et chacun d'entre eux est présenté avec une introduction, sa transcription grecque, sa traduction, des images et des commentaires. Ce livre intéressera les papyrologues et les historiens de l'Égypte gréco-romaine.
