The Deceased And His Relevance To Rhwy, Ahawy, 3nnwy, And 4nwy, Magda Gad

Journal of the General Union of Arab Archaeologists

(En) The twofold oppositions or contrasts that complement each other are evident in Ancient Egypt. We have heaven and earth, day and night, life and death, fertile land and desert, and so good and evil. One of the most outstanding forms of dualism was the divine RHwy: Horus and Seth. The interpretation of this word differs according to the context included. On one hand, it is translated as the two companions when talking first about the gods Rea and Thoth; on the other hand, it is the two rivals Horus and Seth, apart from occasionally it is translated, as well …

A Business Letter From The Egyptian Museum, Mohamed Abdou Elsaid

Journal of the General Union of Arab Archaeologists

(En) The current paper is an edition of unpublished Greek documentary papyrus from Cairo Museum under glass 86 of the S(pecial) R(egister) Nr. 3049 with inv. 161. This papyrus is from Tampemou (Oxyrhynchite nome) and dates back to third Century A.D. This papyrus text is a business letter.

The verso contains two lists of the landowners, and the amounts of wheat recorded after their names. The purpose of amounts of wheat on the verso …

Three Old Kingdom Fragmentary Reliefs And Their Owners, Ibrahim Abd El-Sattar, Shouikar Salama

Journal of the General Union of Arab Archaeologists

(En)This paper aims to publish three fragments preserved in the archaeological store at Atfiyah and belong to three mastaba tombs at Giza; two of them were mostly collapsed. The importance of this paper is due to that two fragments of those in question only contain the names of their owners (the second and the third fragments), while the first one bears some titles without its owner name. Although two fragments bear the names of their owners, these names were frequently repeated in the Old Kingdom which makes it more difficult to determine their identity. So, identifying the persons who …

A Female Scribe In The Twenty Sixth Dynasty [Iretrau], Heba Maher

Journal of the General Union of Arab Archaeologists

(En)

This research studies Iretrau’s ‘sS-sHm.t’, which was mentioned several times in her tomb. This is a clear reference to literacy. It is notable that Iretrau and her position as a scribe is one of the most complicated issues, due to the lack of texts written by her as a male scribe, as well as the absence of writing tools in her tomb. However, there are many other reasons for looking at Iretrau as a literate woman who held a scribal position with actual duties according to previous indications. The fact that Iretrau used the very plain …

Six Unusual Boats From Tell Awlad Dawood In The Nile Delta, Ehab Gamil Abd El-Krim, Ahmed Said Nassef

Journal of the General Union of Arab Archaeologists

(En)

Tell Awlad Dawood is a Predynastic and Early Dynastic settlement located in Sharqiya Province. The site is a small Tell. It has been occupied from the beginning of the 4th millennium BC to the Late Period, but its main occupation took place during the Predynastic and Early Dynastic times. The site of Tell Awlad Dawood in the eastern Nile Delta has been the focus of excavation since 1978. Until 1997, the main discoveries made at the site were: some buildings, bowls, platters and vats, ovoid and globular pots, large pots with a wide opening, jars, some lithic industry, and …

La Méditerranée Des Artistes: Ouverture Sur Le Présent, Maria Grazia Messina

Artl@s Bulletin

Ce texte, conçu comme un épilogue au colloque La Méditerranée des artistes, entend faire le point sur les méthodes de travail des artistes qui ont abordé le thème de l’identité méditerranéenne dans leurs œuvres au cours des cinquante dernières années. A la lumière de quelques récents points de repère bibliographique, des thèmes majeurs sont envisagés, tels que le genius loci, la crise induite par une remise en cause des identités due à la mondialisation, le risque du folklore et d’un orientalisme introjecté, les différences entre les artistes des rives Nord et Sud de la Méditerranée.

Le Baiser D'André Fougeron. Italie 1947, Yves Chevrefils Desbiolles

Artl@s Bulletin

Il peut arriver qu’une anecdote tapie au creux d’un fonds d’archives suffise à rafraîchir le regard critique jeté sur une œuvre et sur son créateur. Au printemps 1947, la visite du peintre André Fougeron à la basilique San Francesco d’Arezzo, fait partie de ces petits événements dont il faut tirer le fil pour mieux comprendre la place occupée par cet artiste, chez qui la fonction sociale de l’art se décline de manière contrastée en divers styles figuratifs, dans l’histoire de la peinture européenne de la seconde moitié du siècle dernier.

« Squilli Di Gloria Nel Sole Di Napoli »: Le Pavillon L’Albania Nella Civiltà Mediterranea De La Prima Mostra Triennale Delle Terre Italiane D’Oltremare À Naples (1940), Alessandro Gallicchio

Artl@s Bulletin

En 1940, à l’aide d’un dispositif de monstration complexe, le pavillon de l’Albanie de l’expo-sition coloniale de Naples propose, pour la première fois, une lecture italienne et fasciste du passé de ce pays balkanique, en évoquant des raisons d’ordre culturel et géographique : son identité « romaine », son positionnement à 71 km des côtes italiennes et ses richesses archéologiques. À partir de ce cas inédit, l’article tâche de questionner la nature des produc-tions artistiques conçues pour ce projet idéologique, d’analyser les discours historiques pro-duits autour du mythe de l’Albanie romaine et fasciste et de décrypter les stratégies visuelles employées …

La Méditerranée De Tériade Pendant L’Entre-Deux Guerres, Poppy Sfakianaki

Artl@s Bulletin

Cet article traite de l’utilisation de l’idée de la Méditerranée par le critique d’art Tériade en France de l’entre-deux-guerres. En s’alignant avec le courant intellectuel et artistique dominant à l’époque qui considérait l’art du Sud/méditerranéen supérieur à l’art du nord/allemand, il a souligné dans ses écrits l’origine méditerranéenne des artistes qu’il souhaitait promouvoir ainsi que les caractéristiques méditerranéennes de leur art. Étant lui-même d’origine grecque, ses arguments sur la méditerranéité de l’art et des artistes reflétèrent tout autant chez Tériade un outil d’intégration dans l’establishment culturel français.

Formes Et Cahiers D’Art Dans Le Débat Des Années 1930: La Méditerranée Comme Creuset De La Suprématie Culturelle, Eleni Stavroulaki

Artl@s Bulletin

La géographie de l’art prend un essor incontestable dans les années 1930, alimentant une polarisation, souvent démesurée, entre le Nord et le Sud, à laquelle s’attachent des attributs culturels, artistiques et spirituels antithétiques. Des figures tutélaires de ce tournant historiographique, tel Josef Strzygowski, font leur apparition dans les revues de la période, dynamisant davantage le discours. Rapidement, les revues d’art, entre autres Formes et Cahiers d’art, sont convoquées à prendre position pour ou contre la Méditerranée comme point de départ d’un renouveau artistique à venir.

Mediterranizing Gauguin. Giuseppe Biasi’S Africa And Sardinia, Giuliana Altea

Artl@s Bulletin

Looking at the North- African stay of the artist Giuseppe Biasi (1885–1945), the paper deals with a brand of Mediterraneism marked by issues of national and regional identity. A key figure of the regionalist movement in his native Sardinia, in Egypt Biasi sympathized with the painters Mukhtar and Said’s nationalist ideals. Back in Italy, his works showed a conflation of the African and Sardinian worlds, implicitly confirming the theories of the anthropologist Giuseppe Sergi about the Italians as Mediterranean race and contributing to spread the fascist notion of a mediterraneism aimed at justifying colonialism.

L’Accent Sur Le Local : Modernisme Et Régionalisme Dans L’Art Grec De L’Entre-Deux-Guerres, Christina Dimakopoulou

Artl@s Bulletin

In 1919 a group of Greek modernist artists under the name “Groupe Tekhni” was presented to the Parisian public through a collective exhibition aiming at proving the synchronized status and the international scope of Greek contemporary art. Against all the ambitions, the exhibition did not meet the expectations of French critics who were searching vainly in the work of Greek artists for a certain accent local, typical of the region of oriental Mediterranean. This paper investigates the way in which the concept of accent local, proposed by the French critics, was interpreted in the Greek art of the …

Mediterranean Cubisms: Decoration, Classicism, Picasso And Professionalism, David Cottington

Artl@s Bulletin

‘A working countryside is hardly ever a landscape’, Raymond Williams observed fifty years ago in his book The Country and the City; for to perceive it as such is to have both the leisure and the distance from it, to aestheticize it. This essay argues that, similarly, art practices have too often been understood ‘from the outside in’: that in Cubist representations of the Mediterranean, the picturesque quality of the Riviera insinuated itself—indeed that that the influence of the decorative was so far- reaching in the inter- World War years that it co- opted avant-gardism itself, and that the …

Disclosing The Ultimate Mediterranean Cubist Village. Place, Identity And Politics In Eduardo Viana’S Olhão Landscapes, Joana Cunha Leal

Artl@s Bulletin

This article studies the early 1920s Olhão views painted by Eduardo Viana (1881–1967). It analyzes Viana’s turn to Algarvian-Mediterranean landscapes, while considering the emergence of Olhão as the Portuguese “cubist village” rendered just before its regionalization by the fascist cultural industry. I contend that Viana’s vistas stem from his cosmopolitan profile and earlier avant-garde experiences, suggesting also that Olhão’s Mediterranean “cubist”-built environment offered Viana the prospect of a denationalized geography. The relationship between identity, place and politics will therefore be discussed.

Un Modernisme Méditerranéen? Usages Du Voyage De Klee En Tunisie, Dominique Jarrassé

Artl@s Bulletin

Parler de « modernisme méditerranéen » ne serait-il pas déguiser d’oripeaux bien-pensants le maintien de l’hégémonie dogmatique occidentale, donc « nordique » ? Le Sud revendique un rôle dans l’émergence de la modernité à travers le mythe de l’artiste qui y connaît une révélation, de la couleur ou du primitif. Le voyage de Klee en Tunisie en 1914, contrairement à celui de Kandinsky et Munter dix ans plus tôt, a donné lieu à une mythification (Klee n’y est pas étranger). Son récent centenaire à Tunis le montre : on a même parlé de kleeification. Il ne s’agit pas ici …

Beyond Noucentisme: Joaquim Sunyer’S Mediterranean Pastoral, Maria Lluïsa Faxedas

Artl@s Bulletin

Taking as case study the painting Pastoral (1910–11), one of the iconic works of the Catalan artist Joaquim Sunyer (1874–1956), this paper examines the established link between Mediterraneanism and Noucentisme in Catalan culture in the first decades of the twentieth century. A look at how this work was received when it was first exhibited, and the sub-sequent re- reading of its iconography, enables us to understand Pastoral nowadays not as much as a symbol of Noucentisme, but more as a potential meeting point between the different aesthetic trends of the period.

Les Jardins « Du Climat De L’Oranger » : Jean Claude Nicolas Forestier (1861-1930), Traditions Méditerranéennes Et Jardin À La Française, Camille Lesouef

Artl@s Bulletin

Dans l’ouvrage Jardins : carnet de plans et de dessins (1920), le paysagiste J. C. N. Forestier forge la typologie des jardins « du climat de l’oranger » qui réunit des traditions hortésiennes de différents horizons historiques et géographiques (gréco-romaine, arabo-andalouse, maghrébine, italienne). Cet article se propose d’étudier la vision de la méditerranéité qui émane de cette typologie, puis de la mettre en perspective avec le modèle du jardin moderne élaboré par le paysagiste dès le début du siècle. Il s’agit de mettre en lumière la façon dont l’imaginaire de la Méditerranée inspire le renouvellement de l’art des jardins au …

The Mediterranean As The Primitive Source For Noucentisme: Joaquín Torres-García’S ‘Classical Primitivism’—From Arcadian Frescoes To Constructive Universalism, Begoña Farré Torras

Artl@s Bulletin

This paper explores the place of the Mediterranean as the main source of primitive references for modern art in the noucentista art scene of Catalonia (Spain) in the early 20th century. It does so by focusing on the case of Joaquín Torres- García, a leading figure of the movement and advocate for the modernisation of mural painting. The discussion considers the noucentista conflation of the notions of classical and primitive, examines how it finds expression in Torres- García’s controversial frescoes for the seat of the regional government, and posits its relevance to the Constructive Universalism pictorial idiom developed by the …

“Dusty” Arcadias: Pastoral Visions And Greek Landscape In The Work Of Fred Boissonnas In The Context Of Mediterranean Cultural Myth, Marianna Karali

Artl@s Bulletin

In the following paper, I examine the possible affiliation the Swiss commercial photographer Fred Boissonnas shared with certain groups of Greek-French Nationalists as early as in 1903-1907 and the way this particular nexus inspired the integrity of his work on Greek landscape, forming as well his naturalistic vision on photography. Within the visionary spectrum of a northerner excursionist and the aesthetic eye of a Pictorialist photographer, Boissonnas marked an Innovative gaze upon Mediterranean Arcadian Imagery, altering the Symbolic Classicism of von Gloeden paradigm of Italian South.

Sous L'Impulsion D'Une Culture Latine Et Méditerranéenne : La Revue "La Renaissance Latine" (1902-1905) Et Les Arts, Katia Papandreopoulou

Artl@s Bulletin

La Renaissance latine (1902-1905), revue culturelle et politique de diffusion internationale, consacre une grande partie de son contenu à l’évolution des arts visuels d’une Méditerranée fantasmée. Régie par des critères essentialistes et ethniques, et animée par des acteurs connus pour leurs aspirations coloniales, elle ne parvient cependant pas à éroder la modernité transnationale de la jeunesse artistique, qui affirme avec véhémence ses particularités locales et antiacadémiques. Le « mouvement latin », qui concerne l’Italie, la France, la Grèce, l’Espagne et la Roumanie, favorise un creuset artistique au sein du bassin méditerranéen, avant que ses voix modernistes ne soient écartées de …

Opposing Strands: The Mediterranean As Site Of Cultural Conflict Around 1900, Neil F. Mcwilliam

Artl@s Bulletin

From antiquity to the Third Republic, this article follows visual and literary representations that measured space, time and ideological oppositions that spawned an image of the Mediterranean as an area of transmission and cultural tension. It focuses on three theorists: the head of Action Française, Charles Maurras; the novelist Louis Bertrand; and critic and cultural impresario Joachim Gasquet. Each contributed to the formation of an image of the Mediterranean basin as the birthplace of European heritage and a battlefield in a struggle against the forces of democracy and cultural hybridization.

L'Invention Artistique De La Méditerranée: Quelques Repères, Rossella Froissart

Artl@s Bulletin

Qu’en est-il de la Méditerranée pour les historiens de l’art ?

Si les relations nord-sud ont été abordées relativement souvent, on a gardé prudemment à distance toute analyse faisant cas d’un prétendu « genius loci » méditerranéen, fondé sur les concepts de « nation », de « peuple » et de « race ». Aujourd’hui les outils pour une lecture dépassionnée des imbrications du fait artistique avec les logiques spatiales ne manquent pas et le dossier peut être rouvert. Il faudra d’abord tenter d’établir à quel moment et sous quelles conditions la notion de « Méditerranée » apparaît dans le …

Beauty, Real Or Apparent: Christian Kings, Muslim Artisans, And The Development Of An Imperial Image Through The Silk And Horticulture Industries In Sicily. (Ca. 1090-1190), Casey K. Brown

History ETDs

In the wake of the Norman conquest of Sicily in the second half of the eleventh century, the Mediterranean island housed a diverse collection of Greek, Latin, and Muslim communities. Norman kings chose Palermo to become the seat of Latin-Christian Sicilian government for its productivity and strategic location and included the island into the complex world of self-fashioning politics and exchange. For Sicilian and ‘foreign’ Muslims alike, the imperious pose Roger II and his successors held created a precarious balancing act between the real and imagined worlds of Sicily. The content of this thesis is primarily concerned with the impact …

Privies As Portals: A Ceramic And Glass Bottle Analysis Of A Late 19th Century Household Privy In Ellenton, Fl, Shana Boyer

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This thesis uses ceramic and glass bottles recovered from a privy feature at the Gamble Plantation site to examine the manifestations of Victorian ideals and health practices of a wealthy white family living in Florida’s “pioneer” landscape. Through the analysis of these artifacts this thesis aims to understand the archaeology of status and consumption while evaluating how class can impact consumer behaviors. Artifacts for analysis were collected in the 2017 and 2018 field seasons using the systematic sampling method which led to the discovery of the privy feature at the end of the 2017 season. From the privy to the …

Orphaned Landscapes: Violence, Visuality, And Appearance In Indonesia, Patricia Spyer

Art & Visual Culture

Less than a year after the end of authoritarian rule in 1998, huge images of Jesus Christ and other Christian scenes proliferated on walls and billboards around a provincial town in eastern Indonesia where conflict had arisen between Muslims and Christians. A manifestation of the extreme perception that emerged amid uncertainty and the challenge to seeing brought on by urban warfare, the street paintings erected by Protestant motorbike-taxi drivers signaled a radical departure from the aniconic tradition of the old colonial church, a desire to be seen and recognized by political authorities from Jakarta to the UN and European Union, …

Linguistic Branching Of Semantics In Arabic: A Social Approach, Hanan Ismael Amayreh, Mohammad Ismael Amayreh

Al-Balqa Journal for Research and Studies البلقاء للبحوث والدراسات

Linguist Branching is appropriate for Arabic Language as words branch out mostly from roots, and every root becomes a tree, which is different from others, not because of the tree itself, but because of what society uses. Language branching expresses the controversial relationship between the language and the rules that govern it from one side, and society’s preference of certain terms over others from the other side. This study tries to answer the following questions: does the language impose the used words, or does it offer options for society to choose what suits it? The study reaches a conclusion that …
