Le domaine de l'iconographie est avant tout celui de la représentation de ce qu'il faut nommer de façon réductrice, des images. L'Égypte possède en la manière un inestimable capital. Elle est une des sociétés dont les empreintes laissées dans la pierre, sur le papier, la pellicule, constituent un des fonds les plus riches et diversifiés qui soient. Il suffit de par-courir les temples ornés de fresques il y a six mille ans et d'en observer les traces aujourd'hui encore. De tourner les pages des grands illustrateurs d'Occident venus exercer leurs talents entre Alexandrie et Assouan, le Sinaï et le désert libyen. Sans oublier d'autres genres : les beaux-arts, en faisant un grand saut entre l'époque des portraits funéraires du Fayoum et l'entre-deux-guerres, avec les peintres et sculpteurs nationaux les traditions populaires, de la caricature, des peintures de pèlerinage ; la publicité... C'est à pareille découverte que le livre invite.

'The intellectual heritage of Ancient Egypt' – once wrote Jan Assmann – 'can hardly be said to have become part of our cultural memory. It is a subject of fascination, not of understanding.' This fascination began when ancient Greek travellers started visiting Egypt, and continues unto this day, more often than not as a scholarly search for the oldest roots of our cultural memory. Jan Assmann's superb academic achievement undoubtedly represents the single most significant contribution to the modern understanding of Ancient Egypt, reaching far beyond the boundaries of Egyptology proper. The essays in this volume, all written by his friends and disciples, reflect the tremendous impact of his oeuvre on the scholarly world, encompassing not only Egyptological and related themes, but also central aspects of Judaeo-Christian identity such as monotheism and the historical events surrounding the recently discovered Diaspora temple of Yahu on the island of Elephantine.

Doctoral thesis based on a corpus of thirty novelists or short story writers - including six women - and about one hundred and twenty novels and collections of short stories, The character of the woman in the novel and the short story in Egypt from 1914 to 1960 draws its guiding thread the following observation: the concepts of "novel" and "woman" are, so to speak, discoveries altogether new in Egypt of the XX th century, the traditions, whether political, moral or literary begin to be shaken by contact with Europe. Thus, Charles Vial maintains that the problem of the condition of women did not arise in Egypt from “within”, at a particular stage of its social evolution. It was imposed on him by his confrontation with the West in modern times. Starting from this axiom, it dialectically unfolds the evolution of female characters in Egyptian fictions, from their oppression to their liberation and their sublimation, which the author nevertheless intends to put into perspective. Far from promoting any kind of sexual fulfilment or social responsibility, writers prefer to free their character from “truly feminine” virtues. Some of them even detect in women dispositions for tyranny which they compare to the famous "feminine cunning" and they add to it a mysterious tendency to harm. There is a resurgence of long-held, old beliefs here, but perhaps also the more modern fear of a woman's revenge.
