Cyberfeminism In The Arab World, Dalia Al Nimr
Archived Theses and Dissertations
The Internet has become a viable source of news, information, entertainment, and social integration for people worldwide. The Internet is also a medium where gender identity operates vehemently. Feminists, in particular, hailed the medium as a domain where women can assert their identities without patriarchal constraints and can challenge their stereotypical portrayal in the media. But does the Internet provide such utopianism? A content analysis of 18 websites targeted at Arab women shows that the Internet is marred by the same gender stereotypes that have pigeonholed women for decades, circumscribing them in their domestic roles as housewives and mothers and …

Towards A Better Understanding Of The Opening Of The Mouth Ritual, Mariam Ayad Dr.
Towards A Better Understanding Of The Opening Of The Mouth Ritual, Mariam Ayad Dr.
Sociology, Egyptology & Anthropology Department: Faculty Work
Recent work on the funerary chapel of Amenirdis I at Medinet Habu has proved her selections from the Opening of the Mouth ritual to be deliberately chosen and meticulously laid out on the walls of her funerary chapel such that the texts, which were inscribed in retrograde, commence at the doorway to the chapel and culminate on the innermost wall of the corridor surrounding her cella. This interpretation of the layout of OM scenes suggests that the scenes inscribed on opposite walls run parallel to each other and should thus be read concurrently rather than sequentially. While this theory differs …

On The Identity And Role Of The God’S Wife Of Amun In Rites Of Royal And Divine Dominion, Mariam Ayad Dr.
Sociology, Egyptology & Anthropology Department: Faculty Work
In a striking scene from the Building of Taharqa by the sacred lake at Karnak, a slender athletic-looking woman draws a long, wide-feathered arrow through a double-curved bow. She aims at four round targets represented at the periphery of the scene. Next to her, a male figure uses his pear-headed mace as a bat with which to strike four balls. The male figure is identified as King Taharqa, the penultimate king of the 25th Dynasty. The female archer, on the other hand, is simply identified as a God’s Wife. Her name is not mentioned. Both the king and the God’s …
The Pyramid Texts Of Amenirdis I: Selection And Layout, Mariam Ayad Dr.
The Pyramid Texts Of Amenirdis I: Selection And Layout, Mariam Ayad Dr.
Sociology, Egyptology & Anthropology Department: Faculty Work
Although long recognized to include selections from the Pyramid Texts, not since their original publication in 1901 have the texts inscribed on the walls of the funerary chapel of Amenirdis I been adequately examined. Work on the funerary texts of Amenirdis has revealed her selections from the Pyramid Texts to be both unique and concise. Moreover, these thoughtfully chosen texts were meticulously laid out along the various walls of her funerary chapel such that their physical placement complemented their textual content. The texts, which are arranged along a North-South axis, include several allusions and references to elements of the Egyptian …
