Egypt & Austria X: Visualizing the Orient (Prague, Czech Republic, 2014) - Programme

The tenth Egypt and Austria conference took place in Prague from the 1st to 3rd October, 2014. It was organized by the Film and TV School of Academy of Performing Arts (FAMU) and the Faculty of Humanities (FHS UK) of the Charles University under the title: Visualizing the Orient. Central Europe and the Near East in the 19th and 20th Century.The role of visualisation in the production of knowledge on Orient has become a subject of great interest in recent years. However, the question how the Oriental Other was represented in modern Central European visual culture has not yet stimulated an adequate scholarly interest. From the last decades of the 19th century onwards, the Orient became an integral part of a whole range of media and objects including photography, cinema, painting, and sculpture or book illustration. The Orient was staged, among others, in the most of Central European theatres and opera houses. Last but not least, orientalist imaginations were incorporated into period pop culture objects, such as comic cartoons, advertising or fashion. Travels and travellers often played the role of actual or imaginary mediators The main goal of our conference is thus to discuss both the wide range of visual forms and the conceptual frameworks suitable for the analysis of their social impacts.Presented paper: Visualising Egypt, giving birth to collections: Amalia Nizzoli, Marianne Brocklehurst and their pioneering activityAmalia Sola Nizzoli (1805 - ?) and Miss Marianne Brocklehurst (1832–1912) were among those early female personalities that travelled through Egypt leaving a detailed account of their journey. Amalia’s Memorie sull’Egitto (1841) and Marianne’s Diary (1873) still constitute exceptional testimonies of Egypt’s customs as viewed by two European travellers of the Nineteenth Century. Furthermore, their remarkable experiences are not limited to the recollection of events: both Amalia’s and Marianne’s journeys have also contributed to the creation of two collections of Egyptian antiquities in Italy (Museo Civico Archeologico, Bologna) and England (Macclesfield Museum, Macclesfield).The paper analyses and compares their impressions, the type of accounts they left, and the important events they witnessed as well as their significant contributions to Egyptology. https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8183-8483 https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1633-5377The Nizzoli Project Amalia NizzoliWorldCat Record

第十届埃及与奥地利学术会议于2014年10月1日至3日在布拉格举办。本次会议由布拉格表演艺术学院电影电视学院（Film and TV School of Academy of Performing Arts, FAMU）与查理大学人文学院（Faculty of Humanities, FHS UK）联合主办，会议主题为：《可视化东方：19与20世纪的中欧与近东》。

近年来，可视化在东方知识生产中的作用已成为学界广泛关注的议题。然而，关于“东方他者”在现代中欧视觉文化中的呈现方式这一问题，尚未得到足够的学术关注。自19世纪末叶以来，东方已成为诸多媒介与载体的核心组成部分，涵盖摄影、电影、绘画、雕塑与书籍插画等领域。除此之外，东方形象还在绝大多数中欧剧院与歌剧院中被具象化呈现。最后，东方主义想象亦融入了同期流行文化载体，如漫画、广告与时尚设计之中。游历者与旅行者往往充当了真实或想象的中介角色。

本次会议的核心目标，即探讨适用于分析此类视觉形式社会影响的多元视觉载体与概念框架。

【提交论文】《可视化埃及：催生收藏——阿玛利亚·尼佐利、玛丽安娜·布罗克赫斯特及其开创性实践》
阿玛利亚·索拉·尼佐利（Amalia Sola Nizzoli，1805-？）与玛丽安娜·布罗克赫斯特女士（Marianne Brocklehurst，1832–1912）是19世纪游历埃及并留下详尽旅行记录的早期女性代表之一。阿玛利亚的《埃及回忆录》（*Memorie sull’Egitto*, 1841）与玛丽安娜的《日记》（1873）至今仍是两位19世纪欧洲旅行者眼中埃及风土人情的珍贵见证。不仅如此，二人的经历远不止于事件记录：她们的埃及之旅还推动了意大利博洛尼亚市政考古博物馆（Museo Civico Archeologico, Bologna）与英国麦克尔斯菲尔德博物馆（Macclesfield Museum, Macclesfield）两处埃及古物收藏的建立。
本文将分析并对比二人的观感、留存的记录类型、亲历的重要事件，以及她们在埃及学领域做出的重要贡献。
