Do ancient Egyptians dream of electric sheep? - 09/07/2021, Birmingham (England)

go to CALL FOR PAPERS

Science fiction has undeniably contributed to creating an image of ancient Egypt, and yet it is only starting to be addressed by Egyptological scholarship. Literature, theatre, film, television, comics, and video games all present images of Egypt that have had an enduring impact on perceptions of Egypt by the public. The aim of this workshop is to explore the reception and reconstruction of Egypt in science fiction, fostering a dialogue among Egyptologists, cultural historians, literary scholars, and creative practitioners.

FECHA / DATE/DATA : 09/07/2021
