Cinematic Cairo : Egyptian urban modernity from reel to real /
:
"The relationship between the city and cinema is formidable. The images and sounds of the city found in movies are perhaps the only experience that many people will have of cities they may never visit. Films influence the way we construct images of the world, and accordingly, in many instances, how we operate within it. Cinematic Cairo offers a history of Cairo's urban modernity using film as the primary source of exploration, and cinematic space as both an analytical tool and a medium of critique. Cairo has provided rich subject material for the Egyptian film industry since the inception of the art form at the end of the nineteenth century. The "reel" city-imagined, perceived, and experienced-provides the spatial domain that mirrors change and allows for an interrogation of the "real" city as it encountered modernity over the course of a century. Bringing together chapters by architects and art and literary historians, this volume explores this parallel and convergent relationship through two sections. The first uses films from the 1930s to the end of the twentieth century to illustrate the development of a modern Cairo and its modern subjects. The second section is focused on tracing the transformation of the cinematic city under conditions of neoliberalism, religious fundamentalism, and gender tensions. The result is a comprehensive narrative of the urban modernity of one of the most important cities in the Arab world and Global South."--

Der Schutz des Osiris : eine Studie zu den apotropäischen Gottheiten auf den Kairener Sarkophagen des Djedher (CG 29304) und Anchhapi (CG 29303) /
:
"Hunderte von Gottheiten schmucken die Wannen und Deckel ausgewahlter Sarkophage und Sarge aus der 30. Dynastie und der Ptolemaerzeit, die hauptsachlich in Saqqara gefunden wurden. Carolina Teotino teilt diese Gotter in verschiedene Gruppen auf, die den Verstorbenen in Form kurzer Reden ansprechen. Zwei beinahe parallele Objekte, die Sarkophage des Djedher und des Anchhapi, dienen als Ausgangspunkt dieser Studie und werden mit weiteren teilweise unveroffentlichten Quellen verglichen. Adressiert werden in erster Linie Fragen zum Ursprung und zur Funktion dieser Dekoration sowie zur Herkunft und zu den Amtern der Inhaber dieser Sarkophage. Ein Fokus liegt dabei auf dem Diskurs zwischen Toten- und Tempelkult und der Form der Dekoration als monumentale Inszenierung der Episoden und Riten in der Balsamierungshalle. Die Gottheiten bieten dem verstorbenen Osiris Schutz und Beistand in Krisensituationen, sei es wahrend der Mumifizierung, der stundlichen Schutzwache, der Bestattung, der Auferstehung oder der Wiedergeburt. Ihre Reden schutzen vor moglichen Gefahren und formulieren gleichzeitig das Ziel, im Jenseits weiterzuleben. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass einige dieser Gotterkreise sich bereits in das Mittlere Reich zuruckverfolgen lassen, andere treten erst in den Raumen fur den Osiris-Kult in den griechisch-romischen Tempeln auf. Die Reden sind teilweise kompiliert als Exzerpte aus bekannten osirianischen Kompositionen aus Tempel- und Totenkontext"--
