"Du Maroc à la Chine, l'Orient n'a pas cessé de fasciner un Occident partagé à son égard entre la convoitise et la peur, l'enchantement et la répulsion, le désir de connaître et la volonté de conquête. De la Renaissance à nos jours, des hommes le plus souvent, des femmes quelquefois, ont parcouru les routes lointaines, appris des langues inouïes, observé des mœurs étranges et rapporté de leurs voyages des images, des manuscrits, des objets, des récits et des fables. D'autres en ont rêvé, parlé, sans jamais s'y rendre. Si le terme d'"orientaliste" nous reste surtout pour qualifier des productions largement fantasmatiques (peinture, romans), il est d'abord attaché à une discipline savante qui s'est inscrite dans des cadres institutionnels solides. Il y eut aussi des cohortes de voyageurs, de missionnaires, d'informateurs, des collectionneurs, des prédateurs parfois, qui ont parcouru l'Orient sous toutes ses latitudes et en ont rapporté quelque chose. Artistes et savants, hommes célèbres et modestes médiateurs, éminents professeurs et aventuriers ambitieux, auteurs de chefs-d'œuvre reconnus ou de travaux obscurs: ils sont un millier regroupé dans ce Dictionnaire des orientalistes de langue française par les soins d'une équipe pluridisciplinaire de spécialistes. A son apogée, au siècle, l'orientalisme l'ut contemporain de l'expansion impérialiste. Aussi est-il la cible, depuis la fin des Empires coloniaux, d'une dénonciation qui se voudrait sans appel. Sans ignorer ce procès ni en casser le jugement, ce dictionnaire entend montrer que la population des agents et porteurs de ces savoirs est infiniment variée et qu'elle échappe aux simplifications réductrices: toute la gamme des motivations, des plus désintéressées au plus sauvagement pragmatiques, nous offre un échantillon d'humanité qui, avec ses grandeurs et ses travers, doit faire finalement la trame d'un certain humanisme." -- Book cover.

Gustave Le Gray's life was as romantic as any novel. A young painter in Rome, then a fashionable portrait photographer in Paris, Le Gray received commissions from Napoleon III, and astonished viewers with his painterly landscapes and ravishing seascapes. Facing bankruptcy, he fled Paris with Alexandre Dumas to Palermo, traveled to the Middle East, and finally settled in Egypt, where he became drawing master to the ruler's children and continued to make photographs until his death in 1884. Le Gray's work had remained largely unknown by the general public until he was rediscovered in the 1960s and was deemed by connoisseurs to be the Monet of photography. The fruit of years of research, this complete retrospective offers, as no volume before it, an assessment of Le Gray's important place in the history of photography. This catalogue was originally published in French to accompany the exhibition Gustave Le Gray, Photographer (1820-1884) at the Bibliotheque Nationale in spring 2002. This English-language edition, edited by Gordon Baldwin, associate curator of photographs at the Getty Museum, coincides with an abridged version of the same exhibition at the Getty Museum that will run from July 9 to September 29, 2002."

Egypt's rich and celebrated ancient past has served many causes throughout history--in both Egypt and the West. Concentrating on the era from Napoleon's conquest and the discovery of the Rosetta Stone to the outbreak of World War I, this book examines the evolution of Egyptian archaeology in the context of Western imperialism and nascent Egyptian nationalism. Traditionally, histories of Egyptian archaeology have celebrated Western discoverers such as Champollion, Mariette, Maspero, and Petrie, while slighting Rifaa al-Tahtawi, Ahmad Kamal, and other Egyptians. This exceptionally well-illustrated and well-researched book writes Egyptians into the history of archaeology and museums in their own country and shows how changing perceptions of the past helped shape ideas of modern national identity. Drawing from rich archival sources in Egypt, the United Kingdom, and France, and from little-known Arabic publications, Reid discusses previously neglected topics in both scholarly Egyptology and the popular "Egyptomania" displayed in world's fairs and Orientalist painting and photography. He also examines the link between archaeology and the rise of the modern tourist industry. This richly detailed narrative discusses not only Western and Egyptian perceptions of pharaonic history and archaeology but also perceptions of Egypt's Greco-Roman, Coptic, and Islamic eras. Throughout this book, Reid demonstrates how the emergence of archaeology affected the interests and self-perceptions of modern Egyptians. In addition to uncovering a wealth of significant new material on the history of archaeology and museums in Egypt, Reid provides a fascinating window on questions of cultural heritage--how it is perceived, constructed, claimed, and contested.

The Middle Eastern bazaar is much more than a context for commerce: the studies in this book illustrate that markets, regardless of their location, scale, and permanency, have also played important cultural roles within their societies, reflecting historical evolution, industrial development, social and political conditions, urban morphology, and architectural functions. This interdisciplinary volume explores the dynamics of the bazaar with a number of case studies from Cairo, Damascus, Aleppo, Nablus, Bursa, Istanbul, Sana'a, Kabul, Tehran, and Yazd. Although they share some contextual and functional characteristics, each bazaar has its own unique and fascinating history, traditions, cultural practices, and structure. One of the most intriguing aspects revealed in this volume is the thread of continuity from past to present exhibited by the bazaar as a forum where a society meets and intermingles in the practice of goods exchange-a social and cultural ritual that is as old as human history.
