Abstract:
During the past thirty years the production of two-dimensional images designed to be used in religion has flourished in the Coptic Orthodox Church of Egypt. After generations with little or negligible activity, enterprising ateliers can today be found all over the country.' Many of them are strategically placed in influential convents and monasteries and at important educational institutions. In this production of art, the Section of Coptic Art at the Higher Institute of Coptic Studies in Abbasiya in Cairo occupies a leading position. Under the direction of Professor Isaac Fanous Youssef the section is attempting to develop a Coptic iconography and style — which the Coptic Orthodox Church does not have. Images of Christ, Mary, and the saints are central in Coptic cultic life, but there is a traditional openness to all kinds of styles and the dominant ones are European and Byzantinesque, well-known in both Western and Eastern Christianity. Also other artists are engaged in developing an especially Coptic iconography and style, but Isaac Fanous and his pupils have received the greater attention and also have the support of official church authorities. The primary aim given for images in Coptic religion is that of being tools for communicating with and partaking of the Holy World.' The focus of this paper is on the usages and functions which the images have in Coptic life, in particular how they serve the construction of ethnic consciousness and cohesion of the Copts. Coptic identity is an important issue for the Copts. The images in question are included in a conscious effort to formulate and mediate who the Copts are. Through choice of themes, composition of motifs, and style, the images impart Coptic self-conception.

Abstract:
<p><strong>This study aims to determine the impact of the Pan Arabism Movement initiated by Gamal Abdul Nasser in 1956-1970 on the religious identity, language, and culture of the Egyptian Coptic society. The method used in this study is a library research method by collecting data from various sources, then analyzing and describing the results of data analysis based on the cultural theory of the Egyptian Coptic society according to Malaty, 1993 and the Pan Arabism Policy theory according to Elie and Onn Winckler Podeh, 2004. Pan Arabism had an identity-changing impact on Egyptian Coptic society. In religion, the freedom to guard and protect their places of worship was restricted and the existence of the Coptic religion began to diminish. In language, the use of Coptic is increasingly restricted and Coptic is almost extinct because it is only used during worship as a liturgical language. Meanwhile, in cultural field, there was an ideological shift in Egyptian society and Egypt became more identical with Arab culture.</strong></p><p><strong><em>Keyword</em></strong> - <em>Pan Arabism, Gamal Abdul Nasser, Identity of the Egyptian Coptic Society.</em></p>

Abstract:
This study analyses the relationship between the Coptic community in the United States and Egyptian Copts regarding the status of Coptic citizenship in the Egyptian state. The conception of citizenship for the Coptic Christian minority has been debated since the formation of the modern nation-state and has acquired greater relevance after the revolution that brought the Muslim Brotherhood to power. One primary narrative of citizenship is promoted by the Egyptian Church. It recognises that, while Copts may not feel like equal citizens, they are devoted to their homeland. They try to promote greater equality through civil discourse, opposing foreign intervention and seeking to foster positive relations with Egypt's Muslims. While many Diaspora Copts echo the message of the Egyptian Church, a minority of activist Copts have challenged that narrative. Inculcated with ideas of Islamophobia and neoconservatism, they tend to dismiss hopes of national unity and focus rather on incidents of persecution. These diaspora activist groups continue to challenge the Coptic Church. Their policies have influenced American foreign policy and have broader implications for Muslim–Christian relations in Egypt.

Abstract:
This article explores the changing iconography of martyrdom in Coptic religious icons in recent decades, with particular emphasis on the years that followed the 2011 Tahrir revolution and its role in articulating a more contentious version of Coptic identity vis-à-vis the Muslim majority in Egypt. The authors analyse the iconographical and iconological symbolism of the work of leading artists belonging to the so-called neo-Coptic school, focusing specifically on Victor Fakhoury’s icon of The Martyrs of Maspero and the interaction between Christian and Pharaonic imagery in his ‘New Martyrs’ series. The article argues that the presence of Pharaonic imagery in icons that portray episodes of collective martyrdom is designed to make the martyrs appear as true Egyptians. This portrayal, in turn, reinforces the so-called ‘sons of Egypt’ narrative – the suggestion that Copts are the direct descendants of ancient Egyptians and that they have a strong claim to Egyptian-ness. As such, these icons reflect an increasingly explicit attempt by the Coptic community to frame its identity in opposition to the Muslim majority and, in the process, to contest the content and meaning of Egyptian nationalism during a (failed) democratization process.

Abstract:
AbstractThe question of when and where Egyptian Christians began to disuse the Coptic language and adopt Arabic remains a puzzle. The Apocalypse of Samuel of Qalamūn (ASQ) offers interesting hints about the process of language change by referring to the loss of Coptic in church functions. This paper argues that the ASQ represents Christians from the specific region of the Fayyūm and their struggle of identity maintenance that occurred after the Coptic language had generally fallen into disuse. Some scholars have speculated that the ASQ has a Coptic Vorlage, even though it is only extant in Arabic. This paper argues that the ASQ may have been originally an Arabic composition, perhaps written as late as the fourteenth century, as a means of connecting the Christian community to the Coptic language at a time when they were unable to access their tradition through Coptic-language texts.

Abstract:
<p>In general, Arabic is the official language of the Arab states. However, at the beginning of its contact with non-Arab societies, this language—that is always associated as the language of Islam—was not easily accepted by non-Muslims. One of them is Coptic community, the native of Egyptian people who are Christians and speak Coptic language. The spread of the Arabic language was a serious challenge for them both from the issue of social identity, culture, and religion. This paper attempts to elaborate the reactions and efforts made by the Coptic community on the influence of the Arabic language to their lives. In detail, the paper tries to answer research questions as follow: 1) Howwas the social and political background of Coptic community before and after the coming of Islam in Egypt? 2) How was the Islamization and Arabization process in Egypt? Did the process run concurrently or two things different from its periode? What is the influence of the Arabic language on socio cultural and religious aspects of the Coptic community? To arrive at these objectives, the author used descriptive analysis methods by reviewing previous studies related to the subject and combining it with current information. The results showed that: 1) from the socio-cultural side, Arabic has become Coptic identity that can be seen from their Arabic names and their integration as part of both in ritual and religious literature.<strong></strong></p>

Abstract:
This qualitative study sought to examine the experience of second-generation Middle Eastern Coptic Americans managing their multicultural identity and its impact on their relationships. Semi-structured interviews regarding how participants defined themselves, how they represented their identity to others, how they balanced the values, beliefs, and traditions came to take care of their parents, as well as its impact on their relationships, including family, friends, and significant others. The study addressed both challenges and advantages of multiculturalism. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis and themes were organized around the areas of inquiry. Participants spoke about highlighting their religious identity to avoid assumptions, the limitations of the Middle Eastern label for Copts, people's lack of understanding about the Coptic faith, the overlap between cultures. They also discussed their identity in terms of internal conflict, external conflict with parents over values and cultural distance, as well as their preferences in relationship choices. Participants addressed advantages in multiculturalism in their ability to relate to others, feeling a strong sense of community, as well as feeling uniqueness and pride in their identity. Limitations, clinical implications, and directions for future research are discussed.

Abstract:
Cette thèse de doctorat porte sur les musiques coptes d’Égypte dans leurs dimensions anthropologique, socio-politique et historique, dans un pays où cette communauté religieuse est en situation clairement minoritaire. Une première partie présente l’ethnographie d’un monastère de Haute-Égypte, Dayr el-Moḥâreb, et des villages qui en forment la paroisse, pour dresser le contexte humain de ces pratiques musicales. Une deuxième étudie successivement les parties liturgique et paraliturgique, en pleine expansion, du répertoire, suivies par une présentation des différents modes de transmission constatables de nos jours. Une troisième, enfin, aborde l’évolution des musiques coptes depuis le XIXe siècle à travers l’étude de l’influence du Renouveau copte et de son implication sur les effets de patrimonialisation, de rigidification et de transformation du répertoire musical. La musique copte s’inscrit-elle simplement dans la continuité de l’ancienne civilisation égyptienne, comme le souligne à loisir le discours identitaire des coptes en ce début de XXIe siècle et conforté en cela par les travaux de certains musicologues orientalistes ? Ou bien est-il temps de parler de « musiques coptes » au pluriel, du fait des nombreuses influences culturelles, sémitique ancienne, grecque, arabe et occidentale qui ont de tout temps touché cette tradition, et plus encore au cours du XXe siècle ?
This dissertation focuses on Egyptian Coptic Music in their anthropological, socio-political and historical dimensions, added to the fact that the Coptic community is a religious minority in Egypt nowadays. The first part will present the ethnography of a monastery from Upper Egypt, Dayr el-Moḥâreb, and the surrounding villages constituting the parish. It will describe the human context of musical practices. The second part will focuse on the repertoire’s liturgy and paraliturgy, before considering the different actual ways of transmission. The third part will study the evolution of Coptic Music since the 19th century through the influence of the Coptic Revival, and its consequences on the Coptic Music. Does, nowadays, Coptic Music fits in the line of ancient Egyptian civilisation as it is underlined in the discourses of the orientalists and musicologists, and in the identity rhetoric of the Copts? Can we speak about “Coptic Music” in plural including many cultural influences as Ancient Semitic, Greek, Arab and the West, especially during the 20th century?

Abstract:
Le théâtre de Copi nous transporte dans un univers imprégné de violence et de transgression, deux traits majeurs de la création de cet auteur singulier qui s’expose dans des prises de risques constantes, personnelles et artistiques. Il fait de son théâtre écrit à Paris, au cours des années soixante-dix, un espace où se joue la lutte pour la liberté du corps et de l’(homo)sexualité. Copi, artiste multiforme, contestataire et antisystème, n’eut de cesse de combattre et de déconstruire dramaturgiquement le langage hégémonique oppressif hétérosexuel. L’objectif de notre recherche sera d’aborder l’oeuvre de Copi à partir des processus et des stratégies trans-. pour analyser comment les concepts de transculturalité, de transidentité et de trans(s)exualité, imbriqués thématiquement à travers l’expérience du voyage, de l’exil et de l’errance, se transforment en un processus d’apprentissage (perception de la réalité) que Copi utilisera magistralement comme stratégie de représentation dans sa production littéraire et sa création artistique. Ses “monstres” ou ses “êtres queers”, “bizarres”, “anormaux” (des travestis, des homosexuels, des folles, des transexuels, des bisexuels, des queers, etc.), errent librement dans son univers imaginaire subversif pour nous rappeler qu’ils furent stigmatisés et victimes de l’insulte “queer”, selon Judith Butler “paralysante”, et prononcée, dans les termes de Paul B. Preciado, par des “sujets hétérosexuels”
Copi’s theatre leads straight to a universe full of violence and transgression; two highly distinctive features of a unique author who exposes himself dealing with complex topics and polemics such as sexuality in a decade (the 1970’s) in which the revolutionary spirit tends to fight for freedom of bodies and for (homo)sexuality. Copi was one of those rebel authors, anti-system who showed his opposition to the hegemony of the oppressive heteronormed language. Our goal in this study is to understand Copi’s works from trans- strategies and processes, in order to analyse how the concepts of transculturality, transidentity and trans(s)exuality, interlinked to the experience of travel, exile, restless wandering transform into a learning process (perception of reality) that Copi uses as a representative strategy in his literary production and artistic creation. His « monsters » or « queer people », « weirdos », « abnormal » (drag artists, homosexuals, pussies, transsexuals, bisexuals, queers and others, etc.) wander freely around in his subversive imaginary universe to remind us that they once were stigmatized and called « queer », which is according to Judith Butler is a paralyzing insult and pronounced, in Paul B. Preciado’s terms, by « heterosexual subjects »

Abstract:
Il lavoro di tesi si focalizza su due meccanismi di self-enhancement, le positive illusions e il self-serving bias, e li analizza nel contesto della relazione di coppia, con particolare attenzione all’influenza che una strategia di parenting disfunzionale come l’intrusive parenting esercita su di essi. La tesi si articola in tre studi: il primo ed il secondo studio, adottando un approccio quantitativo, si focalizzano sul costrutto delle positive illusions, mentre il terzo, attraverso un disegno sperimentale, sul costrutto del self-serving bias.
Self-enhancement is a self-motive which pushes individuals to increase positive self-views and to protect their self-concept from negative information. Two mechanisms associated with the self-enhancement motive, positive illusions and the self-serving bias, will be analyzed in the context of couple relationship. Positive illusions deal with the tendency to perceive one’s relationship favorably when compared to the couple relationship of the average other. The self-serving bias relates to the tendency to make internal responsibility attributions for positive events but to make external responsibility attributions for negative events; however, when individuals collaborate with a close partner on an interdependent-outcome task, they refrain from self-serving attributions or even manifest the other-serving bias. These mechanisms serve the purpose of maintaining and protecting a relationship that is central in one’s couple identity. The present work will also focus on the influence that an insidious parental behavior like intrusive parenting exerts on these two biases pro-relationship and, consequently, on couple identity. Study 1 and 2 are dedicated to the examination of couple positive illusions in couples in transition to marriage whereas study 3 investigates the self-serving bias in dating partners.

Full text
Abstract:
La communauté chrétienne d'Egypte, au Moyen Age, est connue pour les programmes iconographiques de ses monastères. Le mobilier liturgique constitue un autre support d'une production artistique intense, qui se veut le miroir d'interactions avec d'autres communautés. Au-delà des motifs, le décor de ces objets révèle des enjeux sociaux et économiques caractéristiques de la condition, évolutive, des coptes, au cours du Moyen Age. Si la période mam1üke est traditionnellement assimilée à une forte répression des chrétiens, et à leur déclin, nous avons pourtant conservé de cette période un nombre important d'objets au décor de très grande qualité. II est donc indispensable de replacer ces objets dans leur contexte social réel, dans lequel le commissionnaire tient un rôle essentiel. C'est ainsi grâce à l'élite civile urbaine, copte comme musulmane ou juive, que se développent les arts et la littérature, et qu'un décor original est introduit, notamment, sur certains objets de mobilier liturgique. Ce décor reflète les goûts de l'élite civile, eux-mêmes copiés sur les objets produits pour les princes. L'écran de sanctuaire constitue notamment le support de développement d'un répertoire iconographique arabe, partagé par toutes les communautés.

Abstract:
This chapter explores literary engagements with Coptic Christianity in works by Baha’ Tahir, Idwar al-Kharrat, Salwa Bakr and Yusuf Zaydan. It explores Baha’ Tahir’s Khalati Safiyya wa’l-Dayr (1991) as a complex allegory of religious tolerance and reads Idwar al-Kharrat’s Turabuha Zaʿfaran (1986) as an example of Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of minor discourse whilst paying attention to Christian scriptural reference and themes of religious tolerance and Coptic identity. It then examines how Salwa Bakr’s Al-Bashmuri (1998) and Yusuf Zaydan’s ‘Azazil (2008) rewrite history from a Coptic perspective in order to redress the historical marginalisation of Egypt’s Christians and to destabilise certain myths of history and nation. Religious tolerance, religious violence and religious criticism as represented in these works are also examined.

Abstract:
The substantial material stream, and energy consumption, associated with the cooling of desktop computers, servers, routers, and power electronic modules contribute significantly to the depletion of key resources. To reduce this severe environmental impact, while meeting the thermal management requirements of these components and systems, it is essential that a minimum energy, design-for-manufacturability approach be followed in the design and commercialization of such air-cooled heat sinks. In this paper, a design-for-manufacturability methodology (DFM) is combined with a least-energy optimization methodology, using the total Coefficient of Performance (COPT), to identify practical low energy designs and existing gaps in manufacturing capability that prevent the attainment of the ideal minimum energy solutions. The COPT methodology relates the heat sink cooling capability to the invested fan pumping work and the thermodynamic work required to manufacture and assemble the heat sink and seeks to maximize the thermal energy that can be extracted from a specified space, while minimizing the material and energy consumed in the fabrication and operation of the specified heat sink. This combined methodology was applied to aluminum, copper, and magnesium as potential heat sink materials for a fixed input work of 20 kWh, and for three different duty cycles, namely, sporadic (1500 h), periodic (6000 h), and continuous (26208 h), respectively. The results presented herein, are derived for heat sinks on a 10 cm by 10 cm isothermal base, and 5 cm fin height, operating at an excess temperature of 25 K relative to the inlet air. The thermo-fluid analysis of the forced convection rectangular plate-fin array has been carried out using a well-validated semi-analytical model. The energy-optimal aluminum, copper and magnesium designs are compared to draw quantitative and qualitative conclusions.
