Mercedes Volait, InVisu (CNRS/INHA) Egypt (1914-1954): Global architecture before globalization 1914 did not represent a major disruption in the development of Egyptian architecture; that is, architecture on Egyptian soil. Forces that had shaped its norms and forms during the previous half century continued to be at play throughout the subsequent decades. The relentless quest for modernity pursued by Egypt’s rulers and its ever growing state apparatus in the wake of the Ottoman reforms of the 1830s represents one such enduring factor. The strategy had meant to emulate Europe in order to resist its expansion. Although architectural modernity in the non-Western world is commonly attributed primarily to colonial agency, its development and domestication in the Egyptian context occurred within a top-driven endogenous process, embedded in Ottoman cosmopolitanism, and prone to all sorts of hybridizations.1 The British occupation of Egypt from 1882 to 1922 (with Protectorate status from 1914 to 1922) did not alter much this general pattern.2 In other words, an established tradition of borrowing and naturalizing European techniques and aesthetics characterized Egyptian architecture as it entered into the 20th century.

  • Examining the Reconstruction of Egyptian Morale During the Aftermath of the 1967 Six Day War: an Arab Perspective
    Document created: 1 April 02 Examining the Reconstruction of Egyptian Morale During the Aftermath of the 1967 Six Day War: An Arab Perspective by Lt Youssef H. Aboul-Enein, USN Introduction If you say the Arabic words Al-Naksah (The Catastrophe) to an Egyptian, you get an immediate reaction that is unmistakable. For Palestinians, the same term referred to as Al-Nakbah, means the partition of Palestine in 1948. However to Egyptians it means only one date June 5, 1967, the Six-Day War. Most historians are aware of the specifics of the military campaign and the events leading to Israel’s surprise attack and destruction of the armed forces of Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. The purpose of this paper is to explore the effects on Egyptian morale and the particular ways in which the nation was able to recover its morale from a sociologic and military perspective. Few Americans have taken time to examine the writings of Egyptian scholars about the 1967 War. Some do not care to study losing side. Also there is the cumbersome task of reading and understanding Arabic. The author will utilize Arabic sources in discussing this topic. A basic understanding of Egyptian history and the Arab-Israeli Wars is necessary for readers to have a full appreciation of the period of time covered in Egyptian history (1967-1973). As the author does not intend to focus on military tactics, this will allow a more thorough examination of socio-political events. The Egyptian armed forces will only be explored as a subsection of society. This paper will explore the emotions of the military, Egypt’s youth, social questioning of the defeat, the effect the war had on popular culture, the reform of the military and finally the effects on the country’s political culture.

  • Contentious Politics and the 25Th January Egyptian Revolution
    The London School of Economics and Political Science Contentious Politics and the 25th January Egyptian Revolution Neil Ketchley A thesis submitted to the Department of Government of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, September 2014 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 44,982 words. 2 Abstract The three articles that make up this thesis consider the diverse forms of contentious politics and mass mobilization that emerged during the 25th January Egyptian Revolution in 2011 and its aftermath. The first article, discussing the eighteen days of anti-Mubarak protest, pays special attention to the position of the Egyptian army in and around Midan al-Tahrir, and recounts how protestors sought to co-opt and neutralize the threat posed by regime forces. It finds that fraternizing protestors developed a repertoire of contention that made situational, emotional claims on the loyalty of regime troops.
