  • Secularism, Sectarianism, and Spirituality in Sinan Antoon’s The Corpse Washer by Ferial J. Ghazoul

    The presence of religion in literature is not a new phenomenon. Religion is a part of culture; its popular manifestations and diverse interpretations and be­liefs have often been exposed in literary works from Milton to Dostoevsky, from Dante to Flaubert. Images of religion are often interwoven in literary works and different aspects and manifestations of religion may be emphasized -doctrines, ethics or rituals. If we examine the presence of Islam in Arabic lite­rary works, we find different types of Islam presented, and this is not surpri­sing since Islam has many faces in the life of Muslim societies, from its insti­tutional formulation to popular Islam as lived by the people.

  • Recuperating Women’s Memory as Knowledge: Sudan’s Conflict Zones by Sondra Hale

    Recuperating Women’s Memory as Knowledge: Sudan’s Conflict Zones

    Sondra Hale

    Oral history archives have always been at the forefront of liberatory social movements in general, and of feminist movement in particular. Until the end of the twentieth century in the Arab world, archives of women’s oral narratives were almost non-existent with the exception of small documentation efforts tied to individual research. However, since 2011, there has been a marked increase in the documentation of projects. In this context, the Women and Memory Forum organized a conference in 2015 about the challenges of creating gender sensitive oral history archives in times of change. The papers in this collection shed light on documentation initiatives in Arab countries in transitional and conflict situations, in addition to international experiences. They engage with questions around archives and power, the challenges and opportunities presented by new technologies to the making and preserving of archives, ethical concerns in the construction of archives, women’s archives and the production of alternative knowledge, as well as conceptual and methodological issues in oral history.

  • Constant questioning on-and-off the page: Race, decolonial ethics and women researching in Africa by Amber Murrey

    Constant questioning on-and-off the page: Race, decolonial ethics and women researching in Africa

    Amber Murrey

    © The Author(s) 2019. Drawing from emergent scholarship in feminist political geography on discomfort feminism and the literature on decolonial ethics for research more broadly, I argue that further work is necessary to deconstruct the artificial barriers between ‘the field’ and ‘non-field’/home and that this project remains particularly acute for research ‘on Africa.’ Motivated by the conversations inspired by this volume—which importantly consider the possibilities, challenges and tensions of woman-researchers in Africa—I argue that our exchanges must be simultaneously attuned to the racial politics of doing research in contemporary African societies. The adoption of decolonial ethical orientations is valuable in pushing such a project forward.

  • Moving Pictures: Context of Use and Iconography of Chariots in the New Kingdom by Lisa Sabbahy Dr.

    Moving Pictures: Context of Use and Iconography of Chariots in the New Kingdom

    Lisa Sabbahy Dr.

    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 the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, found a cache of several trays of red and green leather containing some 60 large leather fragments. Some of these had been noted before, but the find had been largely ignored and buried in the depths of the museum. This remarkable object entered the museum in 1932, a purchase from the Tano family, reputable dealers at that time, hence the nick-name ‘Tano Chariot’.

    The Tano leather all came from a single chariot, including portions of the bow-case, the body’s casing and the horse housing. The leather is elaborately decorated in appliquéd green and red or beige leather. Parallels for some of these fragments are found in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Ägyptisches Museum und Papyrussammlung in Berlin, many of which, until their appearance in this volume, are unpublished. This includes the chariot leather from the tombs of Amenhotep II, III, Tutmose IV and Tutankhamun.

    This book presents the Tano material with fully illustrated, detailed descriptions. Chariot related texts and technological analyses – together with detailed comparisons with other chariots and associated leather remains – help provide possible dates for it. The find is put into context with chapters on relevant hieroglyphic texts, and a study of representations of chariots that help identify the various parts, and highlight the role of the chariot in Egyptian religion, propaganda, and culture.

    The Tano Chariot leather, despite being unprovenanced, is a unique find, which reveals a great deal about ancient Egyptian leatherwork technologies, warfare, weapons, and chariotry.
