"Port Saʿīd, 1859-1869: Harboring Dreams in an Egyptian and Mediterranean Port-City"

The Egyptian and Mediterranean city of Port Saʿīd, founded in 1859, quickly became a stop-over in the global trajectories of goods and of laborers, migrants, and travelers. By 1869, when the Suez Canal was officially inaugurated, the city could already count 10,000 inhabitants. Thanks to Egyptian, British, French, Italian, and Maltese archival sources of various kinds, I analyzed the ways in which the desert was re-imagined, a “new” city was founded, and different groups dwelled in the urban space. Migration, from which the city stemmed and thrived, constantly fuelled such diversity. Hence, the influx of migrants got to be tightly connected to the ways the urban space was inhabited, contested, and appropriated. In my ongoing research, I attempt to connect the social hierarchy that came to be in Port Saʿīd to the original utopian desires of its masterminds.And I aim to show how, in the second half of the 19th century, mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion were regulating the urban space in a Middle Eastern port-city.

"Everyday Religious Boundaries: Reassessing Religious Revivals From Shubra"

The urban quarter of Shubra has a reputation of cosmopolitanism due to its past when European and Syrians were living there and because, today, almost half of its population is Coptic. People from the neighbourhood are proud of their art of living together well, preserving everyday relations between Muslims and Christians. Beyond this inclusive discourse, one can hear complaints from the minority about the saturation of the common space by Islamic symbols. At the early stage of a postdoctoral research, the presentation will propose a methodological reflection on the study of such a sensitive question using both oral history and ethnography. In order to identify what separates and unify those religious communities, it is necessary to address the various aspects of everyday life because the conflicts related to sectarian issues cannot be expressed openly in Egypt and because those subjects are strongly related to social and economic issues. In brief, this research must combine the examination of different social logics located at different scales.
