Suez, Abou Simbel, Le Caire, Alger, Casablanca, Istanbul... Pour la première fois, des historiens de l'architecture et des conservateurs d'archives nous permettent d'accéder à un patrimoine culturel européen exceptionnel et méconnu : les archives produites par les entreprises du bâtiment et des travaux publics actives au sud de la Méditerranée, entre 1860 et 1970. Ouvrages d'art en acier ou béton armé, cités pour ouvriers et cadres expatriés, bâtiments publics mais aussi mobilier, décors, ouvrages effectués par des artisans d'art... Toutes ces réalisations témoignent d'une époque d'intenses échanges humains, techniques, et artistiques entre l'Europe et l'arc sud-est de la Méditerranée. Photographies anciennes destinées à promouvoir le travail des entrepreneurs, photographies de chantier, dessins d'architectes, croquis et carnets documentant les innovations techniques, plaquettes publicitaires... le livre est illustré par plus de 200 dessins et photographies provenant directement des fonds d'archives des constructeurs. Cet ouvrage est le résultat du projet de coopération transnationale "ARCHING : ARchives d'INGénierie européenne" (2010-2012) conduit dans le cadre du programme Culture 2007-2013 de la Commission européenne, auquel ont participé cinq institutions : l'Ecomusée du Bois-du-Luc (Belgique), la Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine (France), InVisu (CNRS-INHA) (France), le Dipartimento di Architettura disegno-storia-progetto de l'université de Florence (Italie), Archmuseum (Turquie). Suez, Abu Simbel, Cairo, Algiers, Casablanca, Istanbul... This work of pioneering research by architectural historians and archivists gives us access to an exceptional field of European cultural heritage: the records of buildings and public works contractors active on the southern shores of the Mediterranean between 1860 and 1970. It covers all the construction trades, from steel or reinforced concrete bridges and dams, housing for laborers and expats, and public buildings,…

The appearance of new media and its enormous diffusion in the last decades of the 20th century and up to the present has greatly increased and diversified the reception of Egyptian themes and motifs and Egyptian influence in various cultural spheres. So-called 'popular' or 'pop' culture (cinema, genre fiction, TV-series, comics, graffiti, computer and video games, rock and heavy music, radio serials, among others) often makes use of narratives and motifs drawn from the observation and study of ancient Egypt, updated and reinterpreted in various ways, and which is now the subject of study by scholars of Egyptology. The present monograph seeks to provide new evidence of this interdisciplinarity between Egyptology and popular culture. It explores the conscious reinterpretation of the past in the work of contemporary authors, who shape an image of the Egyptian reality that in each case is determined by their own circumstances and contexts.

"Illuminated with a wide variety of images, this book traces the long history of yellow around the world. In antiquity, yellow was considered a sacred color, a symbol of light, warmth, wealth, and prosperity. But in medieval Europe, it became highly ambivalent: greenish yellow came to signify demonic sulfur and bile, the color of forgers, felon knights, traitors, Judas, and Lucifer--while warm yellow recalled honey and gold, serving as a sign of joy, pleasure and abundance. The yellow stars of the Holocaust were seared into the color's negative tradition. In Europe today, yellow has diminished to a discreet color. Greenish yellow can still be seen as dangerous, sickly, or poisonous, and golden yellow remains positive, but the color is absent in much of everyday life and is lacking in symbolism. In Asia, however, yellow pigments like ocher and orpiment and dyes like saffron, curcuma, and gaude are abundant. Painting and dyeing in this color has been easier than in Europe, offering a richer and more varied palette of yellows that has granted the color a more positive meaning. In ancient China, for example, yellow clothing was reserved for the emperor. In India, the color is seen as a source of happiness: wearing a little yellow is believed to keep evil away. And importantly, it is the color of Buddhism, whose temple doors are marked with the color. Yellow continues to have different meanings in different cultural traditions, but in most, the color remains associated with light and sun, something that can be seen from afar and that seems warm and always in motion"--
