🙏 I am grateful to all my colleagues at the museum, especially Carla, Lukas, Julia and Mirko!

🇩🇪 The texts are in German and several publications are planned for next year. 🇦🇹 They are sponsored by Bundesministerium für Wohnen, Kunst, Kultur, Medien und Sport (BMWKMS) of Austria.

I researched the archive of the museum including the legacy of Alois Negrelli and the diary of Carl Junker together with, drawings and postcards from cities along the #SuezCanal.

My focus was on the #subaltern and the way #historians and #museum #exhibitions narrate the history of the Suez Canal construction.

🇪🇬 Under [Erinnerungs]Kulturen you can read all about this and see the interview with Mohamed Hassan whom I met in Port Said in summer 2024.

🤓 Two years ago I embarked on a research completely out of my comfort zone.
💡 Vienna Museum of Science and Technology welcomed me as a Scholar in Residence to work on their project on Colonial Infrastructures.

✅ We have now almost finalised our online exhibition.

Thanks Briana!

💡 An additinal evening lecture on multisensory approaches to ancient Egyptian battles and their representations is on the 4th December (Thursday). I will present some of my earlier work on soundscapes of war and my ongoing work on sights 👀 and smells 👃

🤓 I am looking forward to my excercise lecture on multisensory approach to fear in New Kingdom Egyptian palaces with the students on 3rd December (Wednesday). The lecture is based on the results of my research at College for Social Sciences and Humanities | UA Ruhr this year

📖 Next week I will be a guest in Berlin at @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social in the seminar ''Sense and Sensibility: The Archaeology of Sensory Experience and Perception'' organized as a joint effort between FU Berlin and University of Copenhagen and ran by professors Henny Piezonka and Elisa Roßberger

Drawing on a wide range of evidence from textual sources, visual representations and architectural remains of New Kingdom Egyptian palaces, I intend to demonstrate that palaces could be frightening places.

📖The lecture is based on my research conducted at the College for Social Sciences and Humanities | UA Ruhr
🇩🇪 The talk will be in German

I will tackle the role of space and things in the palaces in the process of intimidation, drawing inspiration from #ANT, #newmaterialism and #ontologicalturn.

🇨🇭I will be in Zurich next week at the University of Zurich as a guest of its ZAZH-Zentrum Altertumswissenschaften Zürich, presenting on archaeology of fear in ancient Egyptian palaces.
Join us there it you are around! 🙌

News - Study Revisits Egypt’s “Plague of Akhetaten” - Archaeology Magazine CARBONDALE, ILLINOIS—Phys.org reports that Gretchen R. Dabbs of Southern Illinois University and Anna Stevens of […]

It has long been thought that the “Plague of Akhetaten” led to the abandonment of the ancient Egyptian capital of Amarna around 1332 B.C. But surprising archaeological research gives a new picture of what happened there …

Just finished the introduction and grateful for every word and what I have learned.So many interesting parallels to the New Kingdom Egyptian colonialism in Nubia. We have no indigenous sources by Nubians but we can ask the right questions to Egyptian sources and read between the lines as you did.🙏

Our volume has been published in open access! Dig in! Many chapters dealing with bodies in #AncientEgypt. It is a first volume of this kind in #Egyptology a discipline running later as usual. Congrats to all contributors!

Bodies that Mattered @ Sidestone Press Bodies are immanent element of socio-cultural negotiation. Since the 19th century, Egyptology has produced vast knowledge on the ancient Egyptian bodies (human, divine, animal), however, mainly by foc...
