Lost and now found : explorers, diplomats and artists in Egypt and the near East /

: Long distance travel and mass tourism are not recent phenomena. This collection of papers from the 2015 ASTENE Conference in Exeter demonstrates that over the centuries many individuals and groups of people have left the safety of their family home and travelled huge distances both for adventure and to learn more about other peoples and places. Some travels were to help establish trade routes, while others were for personal pleasure and knowledge. Many of those who travelled have left little or no record but in a few cases their travels can be determined from the brief encounters they had with other travellers who noted these chance meetings in their journals and diaries, which they later used to inform and write for publication accounts of their own travels and impressions.

Le statut du musicien dans la Méditerranée ancienne : Égypte, Mésopotamie, Grèce, Rome : actes de la table ronde internationale tenue a Lyon Maison de l'Orient et de la Méditerrané...

: "The question of the status of musicians transcends chronological and cultural boundaries and demands a twofold approach, combining anthropology and history. This topic ... is approached here from an interdisciplinary and comparative angle. The International Round Table held at Lyon in 2008 addressed the figure of the musician in Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece and Rome from the fourth millennium BC up to the beginnings of Christianity."--Page [4] of cover. : 322 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 28 cm. : Includes bibliographical references. : 2724706412

Voyager d'Égypte vers l'Europe et inversement : parcours croisés (1830-1950) /

: "Contre un préjugé largement établi qui tend à récuser l'existence de tout occidentalisme face à un orientalisme triomphant, ce collectif met en lumière un ensemble de voyages en Europe rédigés par des intellectuels de la Renaissance arabe. De ces récits, il se dégage une curiosité multiforme à l'égard de la civilisation occidentale, mais aussi un discours de savoir dont on tente ici de cerner les enjeux. La seconde visée de ce collectif est de faire entrer en résonance ces textes encore peu connus avec des relations de voyage en sens inverse - vers l'Égypte, vers l'Orient -, revisitées pour l'occasion. Le tout à la lumière d'une réflexion plus générale sur les récents acquis de la littérature viatique."--Page 4 of cover.
