Egypt and Austria IX (Betliar, Slovakia, 2013) - Programme

Perception of the Orient in Central Europe (1800 – 1918)21-24 October 2013After
the expedition of Napoleon Bonaparte to Egypt in 1798, Europeans
increasingly began to encounter Near Eastern countries and to become
acquainted with the cultures of the Orient. The conference seeks to
examine the perception of the Orient, especially Egypt, in Central
Europe during the 19th century up to the First World War and the legacy
of Egyptomania and Orientalism up to that time. The lectures should
target cultural interactions, but topics referring to political,
economic and social relationships are welcomed as well.With
special reference to the conference venue, attention should be given to
travelling and collecting activities of the nobility from the countries
of the former Austria-Hungary, that gave rise to libraries, artistic
and archaeological collections and common knowledge about the Oriental
world.Title: A hitherto unknown source by Giuseppe Nizzoli, Chancellor of the Austrian Consulate in Egypt (1818-1827)The
so-called Age of the Consuls, during the first years of Egyptology, was
crowded by several outstanding personalities. Amongst them, Giuseppe
Nizzoli is doubtlessly one of the most fascinating as well as one of the
most frequently neglected. Nonetheless, he played a leading role in the
formation of some of the most important collections of Egyptian
antiquities in Austria and Italy. Recently,
a new manuscript has come to light, allowing to discover
previously-unknown details concerning the Chancellor and his
collections. This paper intends to investigate this new evidence.

中欧的东方认知（1800–1918）
2013年10月21日至24日

1798年拿破仑·波拿巴远征埃及之后，欧洲人愈发频繁地接触近东诸国，并逐渐深入了解东方文化。本次会议旨在考察19世纪直至第一次世界大战期间，中欧地区对东方——尤其是埃及——的认知状况，以及彼时埃及热（Egyptomania）与东方主义（Orientalism）的历史遗产。会议征集的学术报告应以文化互动为核心议题，同时也欢迎涉及政治、经济与社会关系的相关研究。

鉴于本次会议的举办场地，需特别关注前奥匈帝国（Austria-Hungary）贵族的东方游历与收藏活动——这类活动催生了诸多馆藏图书馆、艺术与考古藏品，并推动了大众对东方世界的通识认知。

专题报告：奥地利驻埃及领事馆总领事朱塞佩·尼佐利（Giuseppe Nizzoli，1818–1827年任内）一份迄今未为人知的史料

所谓“领事时代”正值埃及学（Egyptology）初创的早期阶段，彼时涌现出诸多杰出学术人物。其中，朱塞佩·尼佐利无疑是最具魅力却又最常被学界忽视的人物之一。尽管如此，他在奥地利与意大利境内若干最重要的埃及古物馆藏的形成过程中，发挥了核心引领作用。近期，一份此前未被发现的手稿重见天日，借此可揭示这位总领事及其藏品的诸多此前未为人知的细节。本报告拟对这一新发现的史料展开系统性研究。
