The research was supported by @college-uaruhr.bsky.social in spring-summer 2025.

The lecture is in German 🇩🇪 as well as the discussion at the end.

📖 The monograph in English is planned for 2027.

📖 Follow this page for two upcoming publications, a monograph on archaeology of fear in Ancient Egyptian palaces and the proceedings of the workshop which will be expended to include additional research 🔬

🙏 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.

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

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.

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.🙏
