A workshop of the research program “La fabrique du Caire moderne”, jointly supported by Institut français d’archéologie orientale (Ifao, Cairo), L’information visuelle et textuelle en histoire de l’art : nouveaux terrains, corpus, outils – InVisu (CNRS, INHA, Paris) and the History Department of Duke University (USA).
The first day of the workshop, Thursday May 2nd, will be open to general public to attend while the other two days will be exclusive to invited scholars.
“La fabrique du Caire moderne” (Twitter: @cairemoderne) is a pilot project about urban development, architecture, Euro-Mediterranean entanglements and global investment in Cairo in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Its main goal is to combine thorough archival research with historical topographic iconography, using digital tools (visualization, GIS and TEI-XML texts), in order to produce a global urban history of the Egyptian capital.
The workshop is co-organised by the project co-directors : Prof. Mercedes Volait (Invisu, CNRS) and Prof. Adam Mestyan (Duke University).En lien avec cet évènement
