  • And the Hamitic Hypothesis
    religions Article Ancient Egyptians in Black and White: ‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ and the Hamitic Hypothesis Justin Michael Reed Department of Biblical Studies, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY 40205, USA; [email protected] Abstract: In this essay, I consider how the racial politics of Ridley Scott’s whitewashing of ancient Egypt in Exodus: Gods and Kings intersects with the Hamitic Hypothesis, a racial theory that asserts Black people’s inherent inferiority to other races and that civilization is the unique possession of the White race. First, I outline the historical development of the Hamitic Hypothesis. Then, I highlight instances in which some of the most respected White intellectuals from the late-seventeenth through the mid-twentieth century deploy the hypothesis in assertions that the ancient Egyptians were a race of dark-skinned Caucasians. By focusing on this detail, I demonstrate that prominent White scholars’ arguments in favor of their racial kinship with ancient Egyptians were frequently burdened with the insecure admission that these ancient Egyptian Caucasians sometimes resembled Negroes in certain respects—most frequently noted being skin color. In the concluding section of this essay, I use Scott’s film to point out that the success of the Hamitic Hypothesis in its racial discourse has transformed a racial perception of the ancient Egyptian from a dark-skinned Caucasian into a White person with appearance akin to Northern European White people. Keywords: Ham; Hamite; Egyptian; Caucasian; race; Genesis 9; Ridley Scott; Charles Copher; Samuel George Morton; James Henry Breasted Citation: Reed, Justin Michael. 2021. Ancient Egyptians in Black and White: ‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ and Religions the Hamitic Hypothesis.

  • Mark Burnett Named President of MGM Television, Digital Group
    Mark Burnett Named President of MGM Television, Digital Group 12.14.2015 Mark Burnett-executive producer of such hit shows as NBC's The Voice, CBS' Survivor and ABC's Shark Tank-has been named president of MGM Television and Digital Group, the company said Monday. He'll start his new job early next year and has a five-year contract. Burnett's appointment comes as part of an overall acquisition of United Artists Media Group, an entity that's jointly held by Hearst, Burnett and his wife, Roma Downey. Some 15 months ago, MGM took a 55% stake in the production company owned by Hearst, Burnett and Downey, and at that time revived the United Artists banner with Burnett serving as CEO. Downey will remain president of the faith and family unit, LightWorkers Media. Burnett and Downey together have produced such TV miniseries as History's The Bible and NBC's follow-up, The Bible AD. To acquire United Artists, MGM bought the remaining 45 percent stake in the company. Burnett and Downey will exchange their joint 23 percent interest in UAMG for 1.34 million shares of MGM stock, valued at $90 per share. Hearst will receive $113.5 million for its 22 percent interest in UAMG. Hearst, Burnett, Downey and MGM will separately go ahead with a planned over-the-top channel, reports The Hollywood Reporter. Downey will serve as chief content officer of that operation, reports Variety. Roma Khanna, who had headed the division, is departing. Burnett, who's used to being an independent producer in charge of his own company, will report directly to Gary Barber, chairman and CEO of MGM.

  • Schede Tecniche E Per L'appropriazione Personale
    SCHEDE TECNICHE E PER L’APPROPRIAZIONE PERSONALE DEI FILM E DELLE SERIE TV PROPOSTE PER LA SETTIMANA DELL’EDUCAZIONE 2021 La recente beatificazione di Carlo Acutis può divenire occasione non solo per far conoscere la sua storia, ma anche per trarre dalla sua biografia elementi significativi per un percorso di formazione di catechisti, educatori e genitori. A ciascuna delle quattro tematiche individuate legate alla vita di Carlo è proposta la visione di una pellicola o di una serie televisiva differente per le diverse fasce di riferimento, di modo che si possa fare un percorso sia orizzontale (per una stessa fascia più film) che verticale (per uno stesso tema un film diverso per ogni fascia). Sono proposti anche film per bambini, ragazzi, preadolescenti, adolescenti e giovani, che i rispettivi catechisti ed educatori possono usare sia per la propria formazione che, eventualmente, per una proposta di visione ai rispettivi gruppi anche oltre la “Settimana dell’Educazione”. Di ciascun film viene di seguito data indicazione della reperibilità in DVD, in streaming o a noleggio/acquisto su piattaforma digitale. 1. ORIGINALITÀ: «Tutti nascono come originali, ma molti muoiono come fotocopie». Carlo è stato un ragazzo che ha trascorso una vita ordinaria ma vissuta in modo straordinario, ponendo la propria autenticità e singolare identità a servizio di se stesso, degli altri, di Dio. Compito di ogni educatore è quello di stimolare i ragazzi a scoprire la propria identità, aiutandoli a leggere i segni di ciò che li rende originali e a celebrare la propria insostituibile diversità, che può diventare una ricchezza per tutti. 2. PASSIONE e PASSIONI: «Muoio felice perché non ho mai sprecato un minuto della mia vita in cose che non piacciono a Dio».

Palinsesti costruiti per catturare la curiosità del pubbli- co facendo leva su istinti degradanti ma ritenuti forieri di audience e quindi appetibili agli investitori pubblicitari. La tv mostra un sensibile e progressivo deterioramento dei valori etici, meno attenta al rispetto per i telespettatori e, soprattutto, per i minori. Fortunatamente, uno spiraglio esiste. E la speranza che si possa invertire il trend, fidando in un piccolo schermo a misura di famiglia, diventa visibile come un faro nella nebbia. Un anno di zapping ha, da sempre, il compito di analiz- zare i palinsesti individuando i meriti e la qualità dei pro- grammi, delle fiction, degli spot pubblicitari, dei talk show, dell’informazione e dell’intrattenimento in tutti i settori.
