Rachel Mairs, Maya Muratov - Exploring Egypt and the Near East in the Late 19th–Early 20th Centuries

	12.03.2022, 15:29
Безспорно златната епоха на египтологията е периодът от края на XIX и началото на ХХ век. Тогава огромно множество европейски изследователи и пътешественици се втурва към страната на фараоните, въоръжено с европейските научни инструментариум и методология и знанието за една вече разгадана писменост, накарала да заговорят отдавна онемелите надписи. В своята работа обаче тези експерти са в пълна зависимост от незаменимите местни преводачи, водачи, помощници и от абсолютно необходимата местна работна сила. На тези останали в сянка труженици на египтологическото познание и на тяхната безкрайно важна рола в разкриването на древноегипетската цивилизация е посветена тази книга. В нея намират място културното взаимодействие и противостояние, сътрудничеството и културният шок, признанието и презрението - всички сложни и многопластови аспекти на взаимното проникване на екзотичния Ориент и западната цивилизация в една разломна епоха на световната история.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, growing numbers of tourists and scholars from Europe and America, fascinated by new discoveries, visited the Near East and Egypt – attracted by the riches and mysteries of the Land of the Bible. Almost all such visitors, no matter how esoteric or academic their pursuits, had to deal with the local authorities and the native workforce for their archaeological excavations. The vast majority of these visitors had to rely on interpreters, dragomans, translators and local guides.

This study, based on published and unpublished travel memoirs, guidebooks, personal papers and archaeological reports of the British and American archaeologists, deals with the socio-political status and multi-faceted role of interpreters at the time. Those bi- or multi-lingual individuals frequently took on (or were forced to take on) much more than just interpreting. They often played the role of go-betweens, servants, bodyguards, pimps, diplomats, spies, messengers, managers and overseers, and had to mediate, scheme and often improvise, whether in an official or unofficial capacity.

For the most part denied due credit and recognition, these interpreters are finally here given a new voice. An engrossing story emerges of how through their many and varied actions and roles, they had a crucial part to play in the introduction to Britain and America of these mysterious past cultures and civilizations.
