SUMMARY:Here Comes the Sun: A diachronic study on the role of music during the Amarna Period
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California chapter\, invites you to attend a Zoom lecture by Waleed el-Hawatky\, The American University in Cairo: \n“Here Comes the Sun: A diachronic study on the role of music during the Amarna Period” \nSunday\, August 16\, 2026\, 3 PM PDT\nThis meeting is virtual\, and not in person. It will be recorded. \nZoom registration link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/FcyP-FNRSbqg_kpujlRXuA \nImage Credit: Relief of People Driving off Birds\, ca. 1352–1336 B.C.E..

(Photo: Brooklyn Museum\,www.brooklynmuseum.org) \nAbout the Lecture: \nMusic has played and continues to play a prominent role in the lives of individuals and in society\, hardwired into the human experience and integral to our understanding of the world in both its tangible and intangible manifestations. This was no different in dynastic Egypt\, where abundant iconographic and physical evidence from the Old Kingdom on shows music being performed in every context and at every level of society. Music appears not only to gain prominence during the Amarna Period but also to develop innovations\, including new instrument designs and musical ensembles\, all of which are well documented in the rich visual culture of the Amarna Period. This paper explores music in this era\, with an emphasis on the royal court\, demonstrating its increased role as compared with the first part of the 18th Dynasty with evidence garnered from representations in tombs\, temples and texts\, as well as physical instruments\, amulets\, figurines and other material objects associated with music. Through both an Egyptological and musicological approach\, this study not only elucidates the function and possibly accelerated evolution of musical innovation in the Amarna Period\, but also the implications of the social and gender roles observed in musical practice within the framework of the Aten ideology\, perhaps even inspired directly by it. \nAbout the Speaker: \nWaleed el-Hawatky is an Egyptologist and Musicologist with an MA in Egyptology & Coptology from The American University in Cairo. Born and raised in California to Egyptian immigrants\, el-Hawatky is a newcomer to Egyptology\, coming from a background in genetics and public relations\, bringing disciplinary versatility to his work. A composer\, performer and recording artist of nearly three decades\, el-Hawatky specializes in ancient Egyptian musicology\, seeking new approaches to the study of ancient music in hopes of eventually constructing a comprehensive lexicon on the ancient Egyptian musical tradition\, contributing to the wider study of daily life in ancient Egypt. \nHow to Register: \nRegister for the lecture by clicking on this link:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/FcyP-FNRSbqg_kpujlRXuA \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the lecture. \nThere are a few things you should know before you join the lecture: \n* Advance registration is required.

SUMMARY:SAIG 2026 Dissertation Lecture: "Remembering Collapse: Understanding Ritual at Abandoned Late Bronze Age Sites on Crete through the lens of Social Trauma Theory" with Sarah Malik Bell
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Student Affairs Interest Group for their annual Dissertation Lecture featuring Sarah Malik Bell\, who received her PhD from Brown University in 2025\, for her talk\, “Remembering Collapse: Understanding Ritual at Abandoned Late Bronze Age Sites on Crete through the lens of Social Trauma Theory” on Tuesday\, September 22nd at 5:00 PM ET/2:00 PM PT. The lecture will be held on Zoom – please register here. \n  \n \nAbstract: \nThis talk will discuss social trauma theory—a theory that is currently applied almost exclusively to social traumas originating in the contemporary moment—and its applicability to ancient archaeological contexts. Bell will discuss the ritual practices covered in her dissertation and map the periodic renewal of these practices against the material evidence for subsequent episodes of social change on the island of Crete. She will show that\, as social trauma theory allows us to predict\, embodied ritual practices became vital resources in the repeated reification of post-collapse identities during times of increased social threat on the island. She will also touch on regional variation and sociopolitical change to discuss long-term sociopolitical developments on Crete\, including the development of the Cretan Poleis. \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \nSarah Malik Bell\, PhD is Assistant Professor of Art History and Archaeology at Berea College. She received her PhD in archaeology from the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World at Brown University\, specializing in the ritual visitation of abandoned sites associated with social trauma in both the ancient and the contemporary worlds. Her current research continues to focus on the material legacies of difficult heritage and the role these legacies play in healing and/or perpetuating past trauma.
