SUMMARY:Excavating Medieval Cairo: Its History and Finds
DESCRIPTION:Excavating Medieval Cairo: Its History and Finds \n  \nFustat\, part of modern Cairo\, was the site of the first Muslim settlement in Egypt beginning in the 640s.  The area to which the name Fustat was applied expanded to include the next two Muslim administrative centers and was the location of the majority of Cairo’s urban population while rulers were found in al-Qahira [The origins of the name Cairo (969-1171) and the citadel (to the mid-19th century).  Only in the 20th century did excavations in historic Fustat begin but then only on an irregular basis.  One of the most important excavators was the American and former ARCE director George Scanlon who established his international reputation based upon his work in Fustat.  In addition to tracing the story of the excavators and their work\, the talk will illustrate some of the findings including beads\, coins\, printed paper\, inscribed textiles called tiraz and other material. \nJere Bacharach\, Professor Emeritus\, Department of History\, UW\, first visited Fustat (Cairo) in 1964 and saw it most recently in 2018 with visits to the site and meetings with archaeologists during the intervening decades. He also edited Fustat Finds\, a volume of essays on finds from the site which were owned by a local Egyptian physician. \n\nUniversity of Washington – Thompson Hall rm 101 \nA Lecture by the American Research Center in Egypt – Northwest Chapter Co-sponsored by the UW Dept. of Near Eastern Languages and Civilization and the Middle East Center\, Henry M.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Fredrik Meiton\, “Electrical Palestine: Zionist and Arab Technopolitics Under the British Mandate”
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: Fredrik Meiton \n“Electrical Palestine: Zionist and Arab Technopolitics Under the British Mandate” \n“Electrical Palestine: Zionist and Arab Technopolitics Under the British Mandate”\nLecture by Dr. Fredrik Meiton\, Assistant Professor of History at University of New Hampshire \nAt the dawn of the Arab-Israeli conflict\, both political power and electrical power were circulated through the electric grid that was built by the Zionist engineer Pinhas Rutenberg during the period of British rule from 1917 to 1948. This talk about the history and politics of electricity in Mandate Palestine and Israel charts a story of rapid and uneven Zionist and Palestinian development that was greatly influenced by the electric grid. \nProfessor Meiton is a historian of the modern Middle East. He studies the intersection of politics\, science and the environment\, especially in the context of colonial development. He teaches courses in global and Middle Eastern history\, often with a focus on science\, technology\, energy and the environment. Professor Meiton has a B.A. in history from Lund University\, an M.Phil. in Middle East studies from St Antony’s College\, Oxford\, and a Ph.D. from New York University. Before taking up his position at UNH\, he was a postdoctoral fellow in the Science in Human Culture Program and Department of History at Northwestern University. Professor Meiton has published widely for scholarly and general audiences on a range of topics\, from electrification in Mandate Palestine to energy politics\, capitalism and political theory\, in publications that include Past & Present\, Comparative Studies in Society & History\, Response and Dissent. His most recent book is titled “Electrical Palestine: Capital and Technology from Empire to Nation” (University of California Press\, 2019). \nLocation:  UW Seattle – Student Union Building (HUB) Room 340 \nEvent Type: Lectures/Seminars \nSponsors: Department of History\nSamuel & Althea Stroum Center for Jewish Studies\nMiddle East Center\nHenry M.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Desert Borderland: The Making of Modern Egypt and Libya
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: Matthew Ellis \n“Desert Borderland: The Making of Modern Egypt and Libya” \nPresenter: Matthew Ellis\, Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation Chair in International Affairs and Middle East Studies at Sarah Lawrence College. He is a historian specializing in the social\, intellectual\, and cultural history of the modern Middle East and North Africa. \nIn this talk—based on his recent book\, Desert Borderland: The Making of Modern Egypt and Libya (Stanford\, 2018)—Matthew Ellis adopts a different approach to national territoriality\, arguing that Egypt and Libya emerged steadily as modern territorial nation-states in the decades before World War I despite the lack of official maps defining their borders. By reconstructing the multiple layers and meanings of territoriality in this desert borderland\, Ellis suggests that national territoriality was not simply imposed on Egypt’s western—or Ottoman Libya’s eastern—domains by centralizing state power\, but rather emerged only through a complex and multilayered process of negotiation with a range of local actors motivated by their own conceptions of space\, sovereignty\, and political belonging. \nUW – Thompson Hall – Room 317 \nEvent Sponsors:  Middle East Center\, Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies. Part of the 2019-20 “Voices in Middle East Studies.” Contact: mecuw@uw.edu
