🤓 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.🙏

You are welcome.The movement is supported by the EAA organizers as also stated during the opening ceremony.The situation has somewhat transformed since the format change.Now most of the protests are on the streets and citizen led.Some universities started working.

No. The conference is not online because the organizers were concerned about unrest. In fact, the conference was moved online because university buildings, where the meeting was planned, are blocked by students who are protesting against the Serbian government and have full support.
