The Culture Police: Manning The Barricades Of Allowable Art And Culture, Ramy Aly
The Culture Police: Manning The Barricades Of Allowable Art And Culture, Ramy Aly
Faculty Book Chapters
In this chapter I look at the history and ontology of censorship in Egypt from the Monarchical era to the present. I focus on the post-1952 era and how a tutelary state culture has been deployed as part of a broader cultural militarism. The chapter also covers the legislative architecture that has ensured a stranglehold on the part of syndicates and the creation of a broad range of crimes associated with art and culture production and exhibition.
Microwaving Dreams? Why There Is No Point In Reheating The Hart-Dworkin Debate For International Law, Jason A. Beckett
Microwaving Dreams? Why There Is No Point In Reheating The Hart-Dworkin Debate For International Law, Jason A. Beckett
Faculty Book Chapters
A critique of attempts to transpose Hart and Dworkin's legal theories to international law. I demonstrate why neither approach can provide insights into international law. Hart and Dworkin are institutional theorists, their methodologies are anchored by the need to justify the exercise of socially centralised violence. International law lacks both institutions and centralised violence, and the stabilising force these bring; it is radically indeterminate. Attempts to suppress this indeterminacy have resulted in international lawyers fragmenting into communities of practice, united by their eschatological faith in the international community. I challenge this faith.

Partnering For Egyptian Heritage Oral History: Internal And External Collaborations Pursued By The Archives, Stephen Urgola
Partnering For Egyptian Heritage Oral History: Internal And External Collaborations Pursued By The Archives, Stephen Urgola
Faculty Book Chapters
The story of Egypt and its people is a long one, written literally in stone at ancient monuments throughout the country. But perhaps the best way to tell the story of its contemporary period is through its inhabitants’ voices, by means of recorded oral history interviews. Oral history has become a major means of historical documentation for the Archives within the Rare Books and Special Collections Library of the American University in Cairo (AUC), one of the founding members of the AMICAL Consortium of American international liberal arts universities. A variety of collaborations and partnerships have enhanced the Archives’ efforts …

Egypt And The Middle East, Magda Shahin
Egypt And The Middle East, Magda Shahin
Faculty Book Chapters
In the early days of his presidency, Donald Trump has rolled out the red carpet for Arab leaders and reaffirmed the traditional U.S. privileging of alliances over human rights narratives, two decisions which radically differed from the Obama administration. Despite these developments, which regional leaders welcomed, Trump’s failure to articulate a comprehensive strategy to defeat ISIS and his preference for military might over diplomacy have caused concerns. While it is clear the U.S. has re-exerted itself in the Middle East, much of the Arab population (and their leaders) remain perplexed as to the Washington’s plans for the region. That Trump …

Moving Pictures: Context Of Use And Iconography Of Chariots In The New Kingdom, Lisa Sabbahy Dr.
Faculty Book Chapters
Chariots, the racing cars of the ancient world, first appeared in Egypt about 1600 BC, and quickly became not only the preferred mode of transport for royalty and the elite, but also revolutionised military tactics and warfare. Remains of chariots have been found in Egyptian tombs –Tutankhamun’s tomb contained six chariots, which tripled the number of ancient Egyptian chariots known before the discovery of his tomb. However, none of the chariots was complete, as all lacked their leather casings, which were only known from images on tomb and temple walls.
In 2008, the Ancient Egyptian Leatherwork Project (AELP) working in …

A Decade Of Advances In The Paleopathology Of The Ancient Egyptians, Lisa Sabbahy Dr.
Faculty Book Chapters
Although the bioarchaeology (study of biological remains in an archaeological context) of Egypt has been documented in a desultory way for many decades, it is only recently that it has become an inherent part of excavations in Egypt. This volume consists of a series of essays that explore how ancient plant, animal, and human remains should be studied, and how, when they are integrated with texts, images, and artefacts, they can contribute to our understanding of the history, environment, and culture of ancient Egypt in a holistic manner.
Topics covered in this volume relating to human remains include analyses of …
Greening In Contemporary Arabic Literature: The Transformation Of Mythic Motifs In Postcolonial Discourse, Ferial J. Ghazoul
Greening In Contemporary Arabic Literature: The Transformation Of Mythic Motifs In Postcolonial Discourse, Ferial J. Ghazoul
Faculty Book Chapters
This chapter focuses on the motif of greening in contemporary Arabic literature by giving selected examples of how the motif carries with it a regenerative subtext and a critique of the present collapse of environmental health. The socioeconomic structure of the Arab World until recently has been based on rural village life and desert oases, with farming as a major source of livelihood, thus making green emblematic of growth and life-giving forces. There has been no shortage of works on the environment in recent years in Egypt and the Arab world as long as the question is social, political, or …

An Overview Of The Evidence For Tuberculosis From Ancient Egypt, Lisa Sabbahy Dr.
Faculty Book Chapters
The study of human remains from ancient Egypt and Nubia has captured the imagination of many people for generations, giving rise to the discipline of palaeopathology and fostering bioarchaeological research. This book contains 16 papers that cover material presented at a workshop entitled 'Palaeopathology in Egypt and Nubia: A Century in Review,' held at the Natural History Museum, London (August 29-30, 2012), which formed part of a three-year research project, 'Sir Grafton Elliot Smith: Palaeopathology and the Archaeological Survey of Nubia.' The papers explore the subject of palaeopathology from its beginnings in the early 1900s through to current research themes …

Experimental Investigation On Shear Strength Of Elastic End-Web Panels Strengthened With Cfrp Strips, S. S. Safar, Mohamed N. Abou-Zeid
Faculty Book Chapters
An experimental program was conducted to investigate the shear strength of elastic end-web panels of steel plate girders strengthened with intermediate-modulus carbon fiber-reinforced polymers, CFRP, strips. Test parameters included; number of strips, aspect ratio of end-web panel and width-to-thickness ratio of web plate. Twelve plate girder specimens composed of mild-steel were loaded in a four-point bending test till failure. The girders were proportioned so that the load capacity was governed by elastic web buckling. Four specimens were not strengthened to serve as reference girders whereas the remaining specimens were strengthened by applying CFRP strips in the diagonal tension direction on …

The Empowerment Of Women: Rights And Entitlements In Arab Worlds, Hania Sholkamy
Faculty Book Chapters
Since the late 1990s rights-based approaches (RBAs) in development have been advanced by the major institutional development actors such as the UN, multilateral and bilateral agencies, and international NGOs. A number of critiques of RBAs have emerged that question whether the emancipatory potential of rights discourse and practice will be realized within development. These critiques, however, have not sufficiently questioned the implication of rights discourse and practice for advancing a gender equality agenda and women 's autonomy. This is an area that needs considerable research, and this publication explores some of the key issues at stake. The publication, based on …
Bruno Latour And The Politics Of Nature, Graham Harman
Bruno Latour And The Politics Of Nature, Graham Harman
Faculty Book Chapters
Bruno Latour describes his Politics of Nature as work of political ecology. Its subtitle, "How to Bring the Sciences Into Democracy," suggests a specific and limited topic, albeit an interesting one. Yet what this book really offers is a full system of metaphysics, perhaps the first original system of the new millennium. Latour declares these large ambitions openly. In so doing, he is fully aware of the stones that might be showered upon his parade: he warns us jokingly of "a dreadful specter...the obligation to engage in metaphysics, that is to define in turn how the pluriverse is furnished and …
