Modern Jews and Ancient Egypt: Patrons, Collectors and Scholars in Europe c1880-1950

这个跨学科的博士与EES合作，探索从1880年到第二次世界大战之后，犹太演员在西欧埃及学中所扮演的角色。这些学者、收藏家、策展人、交易商、挖掘者和赞助人可以被视为帝国的代理人、流散网络的成员，以及歧视和破坏性民族主义的受害者。利用艺术史和来源研究的方法，我将研究1880年至1950年间西欧埃及学和埃及文物收集的制度和思想史是如何被跨国犹太演员和犹太人的关注所塑造的，以及为什么这种贡献被掩盖了。

This interdisciplinary PhD in collaboration with the EES explores the role Jewish actors played in Western European Egyptology from c1880 to the aftermath of WWII. These academics, collectors, curators, dealers, excavators and patrons can be regarded as agents of empire, members of diasporic networks and victims of discrimination and destructive nationalism. Utilising methods from art history and provenance research, I will examine how the institutional and intellectual history of Egyptology and collecting of Egyptian artefacts in Western Europe between c1880 and 1950 was shaped by transnational Jewish actors and Jewish concerns, and why this contribution has been obscured.
