SUMMARY:The Nubian Pharaohs of Egypt\, a Lecture by Aidan Dodson
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California chapter\, and the UC Berkeley Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures invite you to attend a lecture by Dr. Aidan Dodson\, University of Bristol: \n“The Nubian Pharaohs of Egypt”\nSunday April 28\, 2024\, 3 PM Pacific Time\nRoom 20\, Social Sciences Building\, UC Berkeley\nThis in-person lecture will be recorded for later publication on YouTube. \nAbout the Lecture: \nFor a few decades during the 8th to 7th centuries BC\, there was a remarkable reversal of the age-old imperial domination of Nubia by Egypt. In the wake of the fragmentation of the Egyptian state during the 8th century\, the Kushite state that had evolved in Nubia since Egyptian withdrawal at the beginning of the 11th century expanded northwards\, ultimately absorbing the south of Egypt\, including Thebes itself. Having established themselves as overlords of the various regional rulers in Egypt\, the Nubian pharaohs led a national revival in Egypt\, until an Assyrian onslaught drove them back into Nubia\, where their composite of Egyptian and Nubian culture would survive into the 4th century AD. \nAbout the Speaker: \nAidan Mark Dodson is an English Egyptologist and historian. He has been honorary professor of Egyptology at the University of Bristol since August 1\, 2018. Born in London on September 11\, 1962\, he studied at Langley Grammar School (1975–81)\, before moving to Collingwood College\, Durham (1981-2). He completed a BA at the University of Liverpool (1985)\, and an MPhil (1986\, museum practice and archaeology) and PhD (1995\, Egyptology) at Christ’s College\, Cambridge. He began teaching at the University of Bristol in October 1996\, also holding the post of Simpson Professor of Egyptology at the American University in Cairo from January to July 2013. Dodson was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 2003. His primary research interests concern Ancient Egypt\, including dynastic history and chronology\, tomb architecture\, sarcophagus and coffin design\, canopic equipment\, and the history of Egyptology; he is also a historian of late 19th and early 20th century navies\, and has written on the royal tombs of Great Britain. He is the author of some 27 books and 400 articles and reviews. His latest book\, The Nubian Pharaohs of Egypt: Their Lives and Afterlives\, was published by the American University in Cairo Press at the end of 2023. \n—————- \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.

SUMMARY:Body Ornaments and Communities of Practice in the Egyptian Predynastic
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California chapter\, and the UC Berkeley Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures invite you to attend a lecture by Maryan Ragheb\, UCLA: \nBody Ornaments and Communities of Practice in the Egyptian Predynastic\nSunday\, February 11\, 2024\, 3 PM Pacific Time\nRoom 20\, Social Sciences Building\, UC Berkeley\nThis lecture will not be recorded. \nAbout the Lecture: \nOur bodies and body images are manufactured through one’s treatment of their body surface: Through clothing\, jewelry\, hairstyles\, makeup\, or tattooing\, we create and recreate certain images that can be readable to others. These body accessories and modifications are not only to reflect identities\, but also to be utilized as tools by the wearers to enact their social roles\, which are prescribed and promoted by society. Body ornamentation is thus important for affirming social cohesion and shared ideologies of identities both in life and death. In Predynastic Egypt\, body ornamentation of the deceased was practiced to varying degrees. This talk discusses the shared community practices in the making and use of Predynastic body ornaments to adorn the deceased’s body. Through a microscopic study of beaded ornaments\, their manufacturing processes\, and wear marks\, I can reconstruct the technical and social processes that were invested in their making\, and by extension\, the making of the deceased’s image at the time of the funeral. \nAbout the Speaker: \nMaryan Ragheb is a PhD candidate in Archaeology at UCLA\, with a special focus on ancient Egyptian archaeology. Her dissertation research is concerned with identity expression pre and post state formation in ancient Egypt\, through the study of body ornamentation. Her research interests include identity expressions of different minority groups and the cultural entanglement between different ethnicities within Egypt. In addition to archaeological work in Egypt and Ethiopia\, she is interested in community outreach and preservation of cultural heritage initiatives. As such\, she is currently involved in the Waystation initiative and the voluntary return of cultural objects to China\, while building a skillset in cultural heritage laws in the USA\, and in provenance research. \nAbout ARCE-NC: \nFor more information\, please visit https://www.youtube.com/@NorthernCaliforniaARCE\, https://facebook.com/NorthernCaliforniaARCE/\, http://www.arce-nc.org\, https://twitter.com/ARCENCPostings\, and https://khentiamentiu.org.

SUMMARY:Contexts and Circumstances in Designing the Divine in Ancient Egypt
DESCRIPTION:The American Research Center in Egypt\, Northern California Chapter\, and the Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures\, University of California\, Berkeley\, invite you to attend a lecture by Dr. Jennifer Miyuki Babcock\, Pratt Institute: \n“Contexts and Circumstances in Designing the Divine in Ancient Egypt” \nSunday\, December 10\, 2023\, 3 PM Pacific Standard Time\nRoom 20 Social Sciences Building (formerly Barrows Hall)\, UC Berkeley \nThis lecture will be recorded. \nAbout the Lecture: \nHow do we decide what a god looks like? Some ancient Egyptian texts describe the gods generally\, and others are more precise. Yet a divinity’s true\, underlying form is unknown. Nonetheless\, depictions of deities on monumental and small-scale artworks are seen throughout ancient Egyptian history. \nIn this talk\, we will look at some basic\, common forms that ancient Egyptian gods adopt\, and uncover the reasons behind these design choices. We will not only consider how the images illustrate a god’s specific divine power\, but also how their representation may be determined by the context and placement of the god’s image. \nAbout the Lecturer: \nDr. Jennifer Miyuki Babcock is Assistant Professor and Coordinator for the History of Art and Design at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. She is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the NYU Steinhardt School of Culture\, Education\, and Human Development\, and at the Fashion Institute of Technology\, SUNY. Before teaching\, Dr. Babcock was a Postdoctoral Curatorial Associate at The Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at NYU\, and has held research and fellowship positions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, The Museum of Fine Arts Boston\, and the Brooklyn Museum. She earned her Ph.D. at the Institute of Fine Arts\, NYU. \nAmong Dr. Babock’s extensive list of publications is the book Animal Fables in Ancient Egypt: Tree Climbing Hippos and Ennobled Mice (Brill 2022)\, which examines how drawings of anthropomorphized animals are linked to oral folklore and the religious environment of New Kingdom Thebes.  Her interests include the cross-cultural and temporal transmission of artistic iconography in the ancient world\, and studying cultural parallels between ancient and modern and contemporary lives. \n————— \nParking is available in UC lots all day on weekends\, for a fee.
