So many people and institutions have generously hosted us and given their time and energy to share their experiences with us, to give us ideas, critique, feedback, and support, that we can only mention some of them here. The greatest thanks go to those whose names or pseudonyms appear in the book. We do not repeat them here one by one, hopeful that book itself may be the best form of recognition for them. In addition to those who are mentioned in this book by name or pseudonym, we thank the following persons for their support, hospitality, friendship, ideas, critical feedback, and suggestions in the course of the research, writing, and publication: al-Hajj Abduh Shehata, Adam Reed, Alexandra Schindler, Alia Mosallam, Alice Elliot, Amany Maher, Amr Khairy, André Chappate, Aymon Kreil, Bassem Abu Gweily, Belal Fadl, Bettina Gräf, Carl Rommel, Charis Boutieri, Dalia Farouq, Darci Sprengel, Denise Dias Barros, Dina Wahba, Florian Kohstall, Heike Liebau, Heimo Lattner, Henri Onodera, Howeida Saleh, Huda Bakour, Iskander Abdallah, Jakob Lindfors, Jennifer Peterson, Jessica Winegar, Karin Ahlberg, Kevin Eisenstadt, Khaled Fahmy, Laura Menin, Lubna Abdallah, Maged Makram, Mahfouz Agh Adnan, Mahmoud Barakat, Mahrous Shehata, Mamoun Azmi, Muhammad Saad Shehata, Mustafa Wafi, Nael Eltoukhy, Nayera Abdel Rahman, Norman Saadi Nikro, Paola Abenante, Paolo Gaibazzi, Pascale Ghazaleh, Rania Gheath, Rania Sultan, Rebecca Skreslet Her- nandez, Richard Jacquemond, Sameh El Halawany, Senni Jyrkiäinen, Sertaç Seh- likoğlu, Shady Basyouni, Sonja Hegasy, Teresa Pepe, Ulrike Freitag, Waleed Alaa Eldin, Yahia Shawkat, Youssef El Chazli, Zizo Khadr, and Zuzanna Olszewska. Our apologies to all those we have inadvertently omitted. We owe additional thanks to all those who in various ways have hosted us in their spaces or who have organised projects with us: Abdalla Daif, Abdelrehim Youssef, Ahmed Saleh, Ahmed Salem, Aliaa ElGready, Alshimaa Hamed, Ashraf Dossouki Ali, Giedrė Šabasevičiūtė, Kamal Aly Mahdi, Martin Holbraad, Mounir Oteiba, Muhammad AlAraby, Lubna Abdalla, Omaima Shafy, and Stéphane Bauer. A special recognition is due to Abeer Hosni who during our fieldwork pro- vided us with crucially important logistic support and critical feedback. We thank and remember Samuli’s late spouse, Daniela Swarowsky, who also co-organised collaborative events in Alexandria in 2011–12 for the ‘In Search of Europe?’ exhi- bition and never stopped questioning the project to make it better. Last but not least, thanks are due from Samuli to Asmaa Essakouti, and from Mukhtar to Iman El Nemr, for emotional and intellectual inspiration and companionship. This book is dedicated to the memory of Mahmoud Abu Rageh, a wonder- ful and extraordinary thinker, storyteller, and historian of his native quarter of Open Access. © 2021 Samuli Schielke, Mukhtar Saad Shehata, published by De Gruy ter.

He was among the people who gave the original inspiration for the writing of this book, and he is dearly missed. Several institutions have hosted us in the course of this project: Leibniz-Zen- trum Moderner Orient has been Samuli’s extremely supportive employer through- out the project, with funding provided by the German Federal Ministry of Research and Education. At the ZMO, Samuli’s work and ideas were shaped by discussions with colleagues in the In Search of Europe research project (2010–14) and the Trajectories of Lives and Knowledge thematic unit (2014–19). The Berlin Graduate School Muslim Cultural Societies was Samuli’s employer for one year from 2016 to 2017, and for eight months from 2018 to 2019 Samuli was employed part-time in the Comparative Anthropologies of Revolutionary Politics (CARP) project at University College London funded by the European Research Council. Mukhtar’s graduate studies at the State University of Bahia were enabled by a scholarship by Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos Africanos, Povos Indígenas e Cul- turas Negras. The Alexandria branch of the Egyptian Writers’ Union, El Behna Wekala, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Café al-Bawwabin, Fabrica, Gudran Asso- ciation, Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, and Studio El-Madina have welcomed us at various times for fieldwork, collaborative projects, and writing retreats. We are furthermore indebted to the numerous participants in events we attended and co-organised at these and other venues, and who provided us with valuable feed- back and ideas. Parts of this book and ideas that contributed to its shaping have been pre- sented in different states of incompleteness at a number of lectures and con- ferences: Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (2011), General Public artspace (2011), University of North Carolina Charlotte (2011), Free University of Berlin (2012), Cairo University (2012), German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) Cairo (2012), Sabanci University (2012), University of Oslo (2013), Northwestern Univer- sity (2013), Annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association (2012, 2013); ‘In Search of Europe?’ exhibition in Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien (2013–14), World Congress of Middle East Studies (2014), Biannual meeting of German Anthropological Society (2015), Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient (2015, 2016), El Cabina cultural space (2016), Leipzig University (2017), University of Heidelberg (2017), Jesuit Cultural Centre in Alexandria (2017), Bibliotheca Alex- andrina (2017), Cambridge University (2018), Nonreligion+Secularity Research Network biannual conference (2018), Fluminense Federal University (2018), Conference of the Brazilian Association of Historians (2018), Czech Academy of Sciences (2019), CEDEJ, Cairo (2019), Alexandria Branch of the Egyptian Writers’ Union (2019), and University of Amsterdam (2019). Some of the ideas presented in this book have also been shaped in courses taught by Samuli Schielke in Visual and Media Anthropology at the Free University of Berlin (2010–20), and in the Acknowledgments xi study circle ‘Anthropological readings in our contemporary world’ at Bibliotheca Alexandrina (2014–17). These events and the feedback we received at them have been extremely helpful in shaping our argument in this book. The original chapter drafts were written over an extended period of time, and many of them have been previously published in different form. Chapter 1, ‘Why write, and why not stop?’ was written in 2019 and 2020 and has not been pub- lished elsewhere. Chapter 2, ‘Infrastructures of imagination’, and Chapter 3, ‘The writing of lives’, include passages from a working paper written in 2015 (Schielke and Shehata 2016) and an essay from 2020 (Shehata 2020), but those passages have been heavily revised, rearranged, and expanded for this book. Chapter 4, ‘Can poetry change the world?’ was written in 2013–14 and published in Arabic and English in 2014 and 2016 (Schielke 2014, 2016b).

  • Alexandria, a Place I Remember
    AAHA = Amicale Alexandrie Hier et Aujourd'hui George PSAROS Return to Alexandria (17-28 November 2004) “The best way of seeing it is to wander aimlessly about” - E.M.Forster Cahier no 47 October 2005 Sandro Manzoni, chemin de Planta 31, 1223 Cologny, Suisse Return to Alexandria (17-28 November 2004) Cahier AAHA no 47 I left Alex in 1952 to attend university in England. Now I was returning with my wife Annette who had been listening to me, my relatives, and assorted Old Victorians wailing about La Belle Époque in Alex for nearly forty years. Annette is very patient and very polite. Our departure from London was not straightforward. Having duly proceeded to the departure gate for our Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt we were informed 15 minutes before take-off that our plane was not going anywhere for the foreseeable future. The luggage had to be reclaimed and we queued for 3 hours to get rescheduled to Athens by BA next day. We befriended an anxious Mrs. Suliman who was also hoping to get to Alexandria some day. So our first night away from home was spent in London at one of the living machines they call hotels. Next morning we set off again and duly arrived at Athens airport where Mrs. Suliman insisted I call Delta Hotel on her mobile. Just as well, because Lufthansa had failed to notify anyone in Alex that we had missed the Frankfurt connecting flight because of the cancellation of their London flight. Our flights cost £ 640.25. We disembarked from our Egyptair jet at Nouzha and I felt immediately that this trip was going to be a success after all.
