    MEMORIES of the PAST ? 'Classical' Or 'Sunni Revival' In

    MEMORIES OF THE PAST ? ‘Classical’ or ‘Sunni Revival’ in Architecture and Art in Syria between the Mediterranean and Iran in the 12th and 13th centuries Paper presented at the International Symposium on ‘The Islamic Civilization in the Mediterranean’ Lefkosa, Northern Cyprus, December 1-4, 2010 Stefan Heidemann, New York Abstract The 12th century saw a revival of Sunni Islam in the cities of Syria and northern Mesopotamia. It is also the period of muqarnas and geometrical star-pattern in Islamic art. Seemingly contradictory at the same time, Turkish princes adopted classical decorative forms in northern Mesopotamia and Syria; we find Greek, Roman, and Byzantine figural images on coins and decorative arts. Do we have a 'Classical Revival' (Terry Allen) or a proto-Renaissance comparable to Southern Italy and Sicily? What role do these images play in the cultural me- mory (Jan Assmann) and who is addressed? We do not find, however, any reference to the classicizing style in contemporary literature nor are there any people who seem to feel connected with classical antiquity. Other explanations have to be explored. With the economic blossoming in the middle decades of the 12th century, common Mediterranean forms and architectural decorations surfaced again. A continuity of classical forms is most visible in Fatimid Egypt. Muqarnas and geometrical star pattern arrived with the Iranian Saljuq elite in the Mediterranean. The new economic blossoming allowed a revitali- zation of regional classicizing traditions which can be interpreted as a renewal

C". C ,\,,: 41-------<..<.LI-hY,-""lA""""","""I,--ft-'t _ '" I) Abstract Mustafa Sadiq al-Rafii, a modem Egyptian writer with classical style, is not studied by scholars of Arabic literature as are his contemporary liberals, such as Taha Hussein. This thesis provides a historical background and a brief literary survey that helps contextualize al-Rafii, the period, and the area he came from. AI-Rafii played an important role in the two literary and intellectual schools during the Arabic literary revival, which extended from the French expedition (1798-1801) to around the middle of the twentieth century. These two schools, known as the Old and the New, vied to shape the literature and thought of Egypt and other Arab countries. The former, led by al-Rafii, promoted a return to classical Arabic styles and tried to strengthen the Islamic identity of Egypt. The latter called for cutting off Egypt from its Arabic history and rejected the dominance and continuity of classical Arabic language. AI-Rafii contributed to the Revival by supporting a line ofthought that has not been favored by pro-Westernization governments, which made his legacy almost forgotten. Deriving his literature from the canon of Arabic language, culture, and history, al-Rafii produced a literature based on a revived version of classical Arabic literature, an accomplishment which makes him unique among modem Arab writers.

    Land, Property Rights and Institutional Durability in Medieval Egypt

    Land, Property Rights and Institutional Durability in Medieval Egypt Lisa Blaydes - Stanford University LSE-Stanford-Universidad de los Andes Conference on Long-Run Development in Latin America, London School of Economics and Political Science, 16-17 May 2018 Land, Property Rights and Institutional Durability in Medieval Egypt Lisa Blaydes∗ Associate Professor Department of Political Science Stanford University April 2018 Abstract Historical institutionalists have long been concerned with the conditions under which political institutions provoke their own processes of internal change. Using data on changing landholding patterns during the Mamluk Sultanate (1250-1517 CE), I demon- strate that land shifted from temporary and revocable land grants offered in exchange for service to Islamic religious endowments and hybridized land types, representing a transformation away from state authority over agricultural resources to more priva- tized forms of property control. Predation on collective state resources by individual mamluks | state actors themselves | was a negative externality associated with the foundational principle of the impermissibility of transferring mamluk status to one's sons. My characterization of mamluk political institutions provides an empirical il- lustration of a self-undermining equilibrium with implications for understanding how Middle Eastern political institutions differed from those in other world regions, partic- ularly medieval Europe. ∗Many thanks to Connor Kennedy, Shivonne Logan, Vivan Malkani and Kyle Van Rensselaer for out- standing research assistance. Scott Abramson, Gary Cox, David Laitin, Hans Lueders and Yuki Takagi provided helpful comments and assistance. 1 What explains institutional durability? An influential literature suggests that institu- tional equilibria can be indirectly strengthened or weakened by processes dynamically intro- duced by the institutions themselves (Greif and Laitin 2004).

    The Nile and the Egyptian Revolutions: Ecology and Culture in Modern Arabic Poetry 2015

    International Journal of Research in Humanities and Social Studies Volume 2, Issue 5, May 2015, PP 84-95 ISSN 2394-6288 (Print) & ISSN 2394-6296 (Online) The Nile and the Egyptian Revolutions: Ecology and Culture in Modern Arabic Poetry 2015 Hala Ewaidat Assistant Professor of English Literature, Department of English, Faculty of Education, Mansoura University, Egypt ABSTRACT For more than thirty years the River Nile has been deteriorating as a result of the industrial activities, economic expansion, pollution, population growth and the destructive policies of the government of the former president Hosni Mubarak. The primary concern of this study is to introduce the profound connection of environmental changes on the River Nile and the culture of the Egyptian society that is reflected through the medium of twentieth century Arabic poetry. Beginning with excerpts of poems from the ancient period, the paper traces the relevance and meaning of the underlying cultural aspects of Egyptian society through representation of the Nile in comparison to the way these cultural attitudes are depicted in poetry written during the three major revolutions in twentieth century Egypt: the 1919 Revolution, 1952 Revolution, and the 25 January 2011 Revolution. Keywords: ecology, pollution, culture, revolutions, Arabic poetry For more than thirty years the River Nile has deteriorated as a result of the industrial activities, economic expansion, pollution, population growth and destructive policies of the regime of the former president Hosni Mubarak (1981-2011). The primary concern of this study is to examine the profound connection between the image of the River Nile in ancient and modern Egyptian poetry and its relation to the ecological changes to the River during the three major revolutions in Egypt: the 1919 Revolution, 1952 Revolution, and the 25 January 2011 Revolution.
