That's Why We, at the National Organization for Urban Harmony In Egypt, every neighborhood is indeed alive through its residence, architectural heritage and the events that it witnessed. That’s why we, at the National Organization for Urban Harmony safeguarded as much as possible, Cairo Heritage, in our series titled ‘Memory of the City’. And how can a City ever forget those who built, decorated and lived in it? We decided to walk down memory lane and remember the “story of a street”, its name and who “lived here “once. The first heritage walk of NOUH is in Zamalek Island. Zamalek island is one of the most beautiful and historic districts of Cairo. The island first surfaced on the Nile in the Mamluk era, during the reign of Sultan Al Kamel Shaaban Ben Al-Nasser Mohamed Ben Qalawoon. It was known as the “middle Island” because it surfaced between Roda and Boulack Islands. They built Palaces, houses and planted gardens. Since then, Zamalek became one of the most beautiful promenades of Cairo. This district witnessed a lot of historic events. For instance, Khedive Ismail built Saray Al Gezira, which hosted Kings and Royalties during the celebration of the inauguration of the Suez Canal. There are 29 architects, 8 out of which are Italians, who left their mark in Zamalek. Here lived a lot of creative cultural and art figures that enlightened Egypt and the whole world. History stretches to cover the whole island. For more information you can check our book “Zamalek Island Heritage and Value” This is the first publication of our series “Memory of the City”. We started our heritage walk with 1 2 A few steps away we find the Aisha Fahmy Palace: The building reflects the Neo building where “El-Set” lived before OMOM Renaissance style with a faint touch of Baroque. owning the famous villa that is now KALTHOUMKALTHOUM demolished. “El-Set” is “the star of the orient”. Singer Om Kalthoum, whose voice slips away from local radio every afternoon, even after 45 years of her death. Om Kalthoum is an example of the strong perseverant Egyptian woman. One whose intelligence and art delved deeply within the heart of all Arab people, not only AISHAAISHA Egyptians. And so her voice, FAHMYFAHMY became in itself a “home”.

  • Faten Hamama and the 'Egyptian Difference' in Film Madamasr.Com January 20
    Faten Hamama and the 'Egyptian difference' in film madamasr.com January 20 In 1963, Faten Hamama made her one and only Hollywood film. Entitled Cairo, the movie was a remake of The Asphalt Jungle, but refashioned in an Egyptian setting. In retrospect, there is little remarkable about the film but for Hamama’s appearance alongside stars such as George Sanders and Richard Johnson. Indeed, copies are extremely difficult to track down: Among the only ways to watch the movie is to catch one of the rare screenings scheduled by cable and satellite network Turner Classic Movies. However, Hamama’s foray into Hollywood is interesting by comparison with the films she was making in “the Hollywood on the Nile” at the time. The next year, one of the great classics of Hamama’s career, Al-Bab al-Maftuh (The Open Door), Henri Barakat’s adaptation of Latifa al-Zayyat’s novel, hit Egyptian screens. In stark contrast to Cairo, in which she played a relatively minor role, Hamama occupied the top of the bill for The Open Door, as was the case with practically all the films she was making by that time. One could hardly expect an Egyptian actress of the 1960s to catapult to Hollywood stardom in her first appearance before an English-speaking audience, although her husband Omar Sharif’s example no doubt weighed upon her. Rather, what I find interesting in setting 1963’s Cairo alongside 1964’s The Open Door is the way in which the Hollywood film marginalizes the principal woman among the film’s characters, while the Egyptian film sets that character well above all male counterparts.

  • Arabic Poetry As a Possible Metalanguage for Intercultural Dialogue Author: Daniel Roters
    Arab-West Report, December 22, 2009 Title: Arabic Poetry as a possible Metalanguage for Intercultural Dialogue Author: Daniel Roters “For me the province of poetry is a private ecstasy made public, and the social role of the poet is to display moments of shared universal epiphanies capable of healing our sense of mortal estrangement—from ourselves, from each other, from our source, from our destiny, from the Divine” (Danial Abdal-Hayy, US-American poet) Introduction The aim of this study is to show how modern Arabic literature and poetry could help in the effort to understand modern Arab society and its problems. At the same time it will be necessary to describe the history of Arabic poetry if we want to understand how important poetry in contemporary Arab society is. This whirlwind tour through the history of Arabic poetry will be restrained to the function of the poet and the role of poetry played in general in Arabic-Islamic history. Indeed the preoccupation with works of modern writers should not only be an issue for organizations working on the improvement of intercultural dialogue. It is also of great importance that the scholarly discourse in Islamic or Middle Eastern Studies recognizes the importance of modern Arabic literature. Arabic literature could be another valuable source of information, in addition to the Qur' ān and Sunnah. If you 1 consider the theory of theologian Hermann Gunkel about the “Sitz im Leben ” (seat in life) and if we question a lyrical or prose text about the formative stage, it is possible to learn much about the society from which an author is addressing his audience.

This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Questions 1. Please give an update on the current situation for homosexuals in Egypt. RESPONSE 1. Please give an update on the current situation for homosexuals in Egypt. Cases of arrest, entrapment over the internet, and the torture of homosexuals by Egyptian security personal continued to be reported on into late 2006. These were not at the high levels that occurred during the intense crackdown between the late 1990s and 2004 and involved the highly public Queen Boat arrests and trails of 2001, events which prompted the March 2004 publication by Human Rights Watch (HRW) of In a Time of Torture: The Assault on Justice in Egypt’s Crackdown on Homosexual Conduct. The reduction in reported cases may be explained, according to a number of reports, by the intentional retreat of homosexuals from overt visibility within Egyptian society, as well as an easing in government action following the HRW publication (events during the period from 1999 to 2004 are covered in RRT Country Research 2005, Research Response EGY17595, 11 October – Attachment 1; and DIMIA Country Information and Protection Support Section 2005, Issues Brief: Homosexuals and Transsexuals in Egypt, September – Attachment 2; for the “underground retreat” of homosexuals after the crackdown, see reports in RRT Country Research 2005, Research Response EGY17595, 11 October – Attachment 1; and for the government’s response to the HRW 2004 report see references in the recent article (quoted below) by Azimi, N.

While historically defensible, in that Egypt preceded these others in having its own studios and industry, such an assessment nonetheless tends to foreclose on the possibilities for those films inhabiting the “non-Egyptian” model ever be accorded the status of popular cinema. Moreover, where local distribution and exhibition for North African films has been historically partial or non-existent (due to commercial decisions that have historically favored Egyptian, Indian, and Euro-American productions), it has been difficult for many directors in countries like Morocco to avoid the charge that their films—which are often more visible in European festivals than at home—are made for other markets or audiences. Whether in sympathy with the idea of distinctive local or national cinemas and resistance to cultural hegemony, or in suspicion of the politics of international funding and coproduction, many critical treatments of non-Egyptian Arab films make of the popular an evaluative term that signifies local authenticity and a resistance towards European art cinema tendencies and that privileges commercial success over experimentation.

    A-U-C Security…Then and now Lead-in: (0-0:19) Throughout the twenty-fifth of January revolution, security measures all around Egypt increased, the same took place at the American University in Cairo. The comparison of this revolution and the 1952 revolution shows that the measures taken by the security were the same. A-U-C’s Habiba El Husseiny reports. Music: (0:19-0:52) Abdel Halim Hafez- Watany Nassiby Watany Al Akbar Narration: (0:52-1:22) Egypt has faced two defining moments in its history. The first was the 1952 revolution when King Farouk the first was overthrown. The second and the most recent, the twenty-fifth of January revolution, where President Hosni Mubarak and his regime were ousted. The American University in Cairo home to both Egyptians and foreigners was present throughout both revolutions. The authoritative figures changed between both times but the actions taken by the security to help maintain and secure students and campus were the same.
