The article examines bandit myths from a socio‐historical perspective, as part of the socio‐cultural reality of present‐day Egypt. It engages in the semiotics of banditry encouraged by Stephanie Cronin by taking a first step towards a social semiotics analysis of Rayyā and Sakīna, the two Egyptian female criminals par excellence, arrested in 1920 and executed in 1921. I will argue that Rayyā and Sakīna's criminal myth is currently being resignifi…
Building a national case in interwar Egypt
In November 1920, the Alexandria police arrested two sisters, Raya and Sakina, along with their husbands and others, and charged them with the murder of seventeen women. At the end of a trial held in May 1921, the judges sentenced to death six members of the gang, yet it was Raya and Sakina who monopolized public attention as the first women sentenced to death in the Egyptian secular justice system. A century later, they are still alive in the Eg…
Conflicting Histories of Alexandria, or Alexandrians with No Museum (1892-2016)
Museums of history are also research objects for historians. Museography can be analysed in order to reconstruct the museology and the historical narrative it shapes. This contribution explores the narratives of the two main museums of history in Alexandria: the Greco-Roman Museum, which was founded in 1892, and the National Museum of Alexandria, which opened in 2003. After putting their foundation into context, it analyses their collections, set…
Et si la Grande Guerre commençait en 1911 ? L’entrée en guerre vue d’Alexandrie
Pour contribuer à affiner la compréhension de l’entrée en guerre dans le monde arabo-ottoman, cet article propose une analyse des manières dont celle-ci a été perçue dans la ville d’Alexandrie. Elles sont saisies à travers les sources littéraires arabes alexandrines de l’époque. Une approche par la ville permet de s’émanciper du cadre anachronique de la nation, en redonnant sa place à l’horizon impérial. Cela aide, en même temps, à repenser la ch…
