Tin Turković, doc. Zagreb, 2021. ZAHVALE Profesoru i mentoru Tinu Turkoviću najiskrenije se zahvaljujem na svim konstruktivnim kritikama i savjetima pri izradi diplomskog rada te na prijateljstvu i razgovorima o starome Egiptu, antici i svim ostalim temama kojih smo se dotakli u zadnjih pet godina. Profesorici Nikolini Maraković također sam dužan posebnu zahvalu na svim lijepim riječima i dobronamjernim sugestijama kroz cijelo trajanje studija. Prijateljici i kolegici Josipi Šurkalović zahvaljujem na lekturi engleskog sažetka diplomskog rada. Naposljetku, najveće hvala roditeljima, bratu i djevojci Luki na svoj podršci i neizmjernom strpljenju za mene i „moj“ stari Egipat prije, tijekom i nakon pisanja ovog rada. Temeljna dokumentacijska kartica Sveučilište u Zagrebu Diplomski rad Filozofski fakultet Odsjek za povijest umjetnosti Diplomski studij MOTIVI U STAROEGIPATSKOJ UMJETNOSTI PREDDINASTIJSKOG I RANODINASTIJSKOG RAZDOBLJA Motifs in Ancient Egyptian Art of the Predynastic and Early Dynastic Periods Tomislav Kiš U radu su, na temelju obrade najznačajnijih dekorativnih i simboličkih motiva preddinastijskog i ranodinastijskog razdoblja, predstavljeni neki od najvažnijih razvojnih i ikonografskih aspekata te stilskih karakteristika najranije staroegipatske umjetnosti. Poznavanje likovnosti navedenih razdoblja potrebno je radi boljeg razumijevanja cjelokupnog korpusa kasnije staroegipatske umjetnosti te, posljedično, značajnog dijela umjetnosti zapadne civilizacije. Predstojeći tekst stoga, u svrhu boljeg razumijevanja društvenih, religioznih, geografskih, klimatskih, kronoloških i tehnoloških okvira unutar kojih nastaju najranija umjetnička djela doline Nila i njezine okolice, prvo donosi kraći pregled razvoja umjetničke produkcije preddinastijskog i ranodinastijskog razdoblja. Tek je potom dana detaljnija analiza i kontekstualizacija najrelevantnijih antropomorfnih, zoomorfnih, vegetabilnih i ostalih motiva navedenih perioda, koja počiva na najrecentnijim dostupnim podatcima. Cilj rada je istražiti koji se točno dekorativni i simbolički motivi javljaju u naslovnim razdobljima, na kakvim se predmetima i djelima nalaze, koje je njihovo značenje, kako se mijenjaju kroz vrijeme i jesu li prisutni na kasnijim umjetničkim djelima. Obradi svakoga od navedenih motiva pristupljeno je na način koji je smatran najboljim za dobivanje odgovora na postavljena pitanja te bolje poznavanje pojedinih, najreprezentativnijih umjetničkih djela na kojima ih je moguće pronaći.

  • From Small States to Universalism in the Pre-Islamic Near East
    REVOLUTIONIZING REVOLUTIONIZING Mark Altaweel and Andrea Squitieri and Andrea Mark Altaweel From Small States to Universalism in the Pre-Islamic Near East This book investigates the long-term continuity of large-scale states and empires, and its effect on the Near East’s social fabric, including the fundamental changes that occurred to major social institutions. Its geographical coverage spans, from east to west, modern- day Libya and Egypt to Central Asia, and from north to south, Anatolia to southern Arabia, incorporating modern-day Oman and Yemen. Its temporal coverage spans from the late eighth century BCE to the seventh century CE during the rise of Islam and collapse of the Sasanian Empire. The authors argue that the persistence of large states and empires starting in the eighth/ seventh centuries BCE, which continued for many centuries, led to new socio-political structures and institutions emerging in the Near East. The primary processes that enabled this emergence were large-scale and long-distance movements, or population migrations. These patterns of social developments are analysed under different aspects: settlement patterns, urban structure, material culture, trade, governance, language spread and religion, all pointing at population movement as the main catalyst for social change. This book’s argument Mark Altaweel is framed within a larger theoretical framework termed as ‘universalism’, a theory that explains WORLD A many of the social transformations that happened to societies in the Near East, starting from Andrea Squitieri the Neo-Assyrian period and continuing for centuries. Among other infl uences, the effects of these transformations are today manifested in modern languages, concepts of government, universal religions and monetized and globalized economies.

  • Thesis-Reclaiming the Past- How a Legacy Of
    ABSTRACT Title of Thesis: RECLAIMING THE PAST: HOW A LEGACY OF PATERNALISM AFFECTS MODERN EFFORTS OF ARTIFACT REPATRIATION Michael Guy, Master of Arts, Museum Studies and Historical Preservation, December 2019 Thesis Chair: David Terry, Ph. D Department of History, Geography, Museum Studies The twenty first century has seen a push towards the righting of past wrongs, as social awareness has been on the rise. One such wrong that has currently caught the public’s attention is the repatriation of artifacts. Museums throughout the West are filled with objects that have been acquired through a variety of means, some, if looked at through a twenty first century lens would come across as immoral or even illegal. Museums in the West have been hesitant to hand over ownership of these objects back to the cultures that produced them. Though many of the reasons given for the reluctance to return the objects are legitimate, the notion of Western paternalism still looms large. My thesis will examine the link between repatriation and paternalism by primarily examining Nigeria’s efforts in seeking the repatriation of the Benin Bronzes from the British Museums. I will also look into repatriation claims to a lesser extent, including the Elgin Marbles and the repatriation of indigenous human remains in the US and Australia. Through the examination of historical newspapers, academic journals, monographs, I will argue that the hesitance in granting repatriation by Western Museum is directly linked to generations of paternalism from the West, towards these societies seeking repatriation. Furthermore, I will argue that this paternalism was fostered by the museums that hold these objects.

I would like to thank my friends Tracy Pfaff, Shawna Pies, Sarah Smith, Lanka Thabrew and Elizabeth Bemis, for their motivation and friendship which truly helped me move forward. I would also like to thank my boyfriend, Janitha Jayasinghe, for his positive words of advice, encouragement, and unwavering support. Finally, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to my family for their unconditional love and support. I would like to thank my parents for having the confidence and patience in letting me choose a career path that was unfamiliar to them, and for understanding my love of archaeology, museums and cultural heritage. To my siblings, Tilanthi and Rajiv, thank you for your wise judgment and unbelievably valuable advice in every important decision that I make. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS .................................................................................................
