  • The Paintings in St. George Church in Addis Ababa As a Method
    Studies of the Department of African Languages and Cultures, No 49, 2015 ISSN 0860-4649 Hanna Rubinkowska-Anioł University of Warsaw The Paintings in St. George Church in Addis Ababa as a Method of Conveying Information about History and Power in 20 th - century Ethiopia 1 Abstract: In one of the most important churches in Addis Ab- aba (Ethiopia), there is a panel containing several paintings. They are exact copies of photographs showing Emperor Haile Sellasie I during the war against Italy (1935-1941). The paint- ings were copied from frequently published, and thus well- known, photographs, which served imperial propaganda to show the Emperor’s role in fighting for Ethiopia’s independ- ence. Using the paintings as source material, it is the aim of this article to discuss specific propagandistic methods applied in Ethiopia under Haile Sellasie to transmit a message about power and history, and to present the intended image of the Emperor to his subjects. Keywords : Ethiopia, visual representation, St. George Church, Haile Sellasie I, Italo-Ethiopian War Introduction In St. George Church, one of the main Addis Ababa churches, there is a panel of paintings presenting scenes from the Italo- Ethiopian war (between 1935 and 1941). The paintings were made as a reminder of the role Haile Sellasie I (the emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974) performed in regaining Ethiopia’s independence. The pictures were meant to testify to the Emperor’s services to the nation and emphasize his right – frequently undermined by his opponents – to rule the country after independence was regained. They also con- 1 The author thanks Dr.

The churches enjoyed tax exemptions, and most of them were allowed to give asylum to criminals who invoked their protection.2 Däbrs were endowed with lands and their entitlement to the holdings was proclaimed and registered in written deeds known as gwǝlt charters.3 Following the grant, officers of the king executed the terms of the grant, drawing up a list of clerics and registering the distribution of the gwǝlt lands as individual holdings for each cleric. In the registers of these churches the clerical holdings on gwǝlt lands are noted as rim.

Throne names and horse names were used solely by the emperors and the ruling class. Those name changes exalted the bearer by either stating his authority or connecting him to divine power. Pen names and field names were used by people not in power to hide their identity from people with the power to harm them. Although the purpose of those name changes was to disguise, the names that

  • Nubia Y Etiopía
    EDAD OSCURA: NUBIA Y ETIOPÍA Por Magus Históricamente existe gran confusión sobre el uso de los términos de Nubia y Etiopía. Hay quien dice que Nubia procede del egipcio “Nub,” quizás relativo a la riqueza de oro del territorio. Otros historiadores creen que deriva del pueblo de los Nobates, que se asentó en la zona en el siglo IV y se extendió con el colapso del reino de Meroë. Los antiguos griegos, como Herodoto y Diodoro Sículo utilizaban la palabra “Aethiopia” (“tierra de los rostros quemados”) para referirse a los territorios al sur del Antiguo Egipto, especialmente al reino de Kush, pero también al África subsahariana en general. En algunos mapas medievales el término “Etiopía” se utilizaba para todo el continente africano y el Océano Atlántico también era conocido como Océano Etíope. El reino de Axum comenzó a utilizar el nombre de Etiopía desde el siglo IV. En el presente artículo se utiliza para la zona controlada por los reinos medievales de Nobatia, Makuria, Alodia y el reino de Etiopía, situados a lo largo del río Nilo y el cuerno de África. En cualquier caso, no se trata de un ensayo fielmente histórico, sino de un suplemento y ayuda para un juego de rol, con lo cual me he tomado algunas libertades. En cualquier caso, que disfrutéis con la lectura. NUBIA Los sucesivos pueblos que han habitado más allá de la primera catarata del Nilo han tenido como vecinos al reino de Egipto e inevitablemente fueron influenciados por su cultura y afectados por periódicas invasiones y guerras. De la misma forma, los nubios también han invadido Egipto en varias ocasiones y llegaron a crear una dinastía faraónica durante el siglo VIII a.C.

Senkessarin kriittiset ge’ezin kieliset tekstit, joiden taustalla on vain 9 käsikirjoitusta, ovat kokoelmassa Patrologia Orientalis (1907- 1997) ranskankielisten käännösten kera. Englanninkielisen käännöksen laati E.A. Wallis Budge (1928) eri käsikirjoitusten perusteella. Runsaasti Etiopia-tietoutta on laajassa viisiosaisessa teoksessa, Encyclopaedia Aethiopica (2003-2014).
