Models of Egypt’s self-identifi cation in the interwar period (1919-1939)
RUDN Journal of World History, 2018
In the article, the authors consider the models of self-identification typical for the public thought of Egypt of the interwar period. In the fi rst half of XX century Egypt entered an important period of its history. As one of the fi rst formally independent Arab States, Egypt continued to struggle for full sovereignty from the United Kingdom while seeking to establish itself as a regional leader. In this regard, the leading thinkers of Egypt tried to determine the place of their country in the world and fi nd the most acceptable ideology for it, which could also rally other Arab, Muslim, Asian and African countries around Egypt. The article touched upon four concepts that were developed during the interwar period and infl uenced the further development of public thought in Egypt. Some thinkers have tried to develop a model of secular pan-Arabism based on the ideas of al-Kawakibi and al-Husri. For these authors, Egypt was an integral part of the Arab world and the core of its possi...
Islamovedenie, 2018
В статье рассматривается трансформация места и роли ислама в воззрениях ключевых египетских мыслителей периода позднего Нового времени. Авторы анализируют влияние религии на учения исламских реформаторов, включая Дж. Аль-Афгани и М. Абдо, либеральных националистов, таких, как М. Камиль и С. Заглюль, и традиционалистов широкого спектра-от халифатистов до сторонников Х. Аль-Банны. Внимание уделяется попыткам упомянутых представителей египетской мысли совместить исламскую традицию и принципы с требованиями модернизации государства, общества и экономики. Отдельно выделяется проблема соотношения политических и национальных устремлений, с одной стороны, и религиозного единства, с другой. Упор делается как на преемственность и взаимосвязь данных типов мировоззрения применительно к роли ислама, так и на разницу их подходов к исламу и его месту в жизни египетского общества. Также авторы исследуют причины относительного снижения традиционно всеобъемлющей роли религии в египетском обществе в упомянутый период.
Egyptians and Byzantium. On the Question of Political Subjectivity in Late Antiquity
Vestnik Volgogradskogo gosudarstvennogo universiteta. Serija 4. Istorija. Regionovedenie. Mezhdunarodnye otnoshenija
Introduction. The article focuses on the reasons for the lack of political subjectivity among the Egyptians in the Byzantine period (4th – first half of the 7th centuries). During this period, the population of Egypt did not demonstrate it at any level: social movements (uprisings) did not offer such agenda; studies on literature and rhetoric show that the Egyptians were under the influence of the Roman statehood (Eastern Roman Empire). The aims of the study are therefore concentrated around the consideration of the causes and terms of the loss of political subjectivity by the Egyptians, and the reasons for the increase of it among the Romans. An additional task was a comparative analysis of the political and religious systems of Ancient Rome and Ancient Egypt and the possible influence of religious features on the configuration of political systems. Methods. The main methods used in the study are factor analysis and the comparative method. Analysis. The ancient Egyptian political s...
