Sinossi

Cairo Dynasties explores how a succession of ruling families transformed Cairo from a modest Nile settlement into a major metropolis. The book examines the Fatimid, Ayyubid, Mamluk, and Muhammad Ali dynasties, revealing their political strategies, architectural innovations, and lasting impact on Egyptian identity. Dynastic power consolidation manifested tangibly in Cairo's architectural marvels, such as mosques and public works, reflecting their ambitions and beliefs. Furthermore, Cairo's unique urban identity, characterized by resilience and religious diversity, emerged from these complex historical forces. The book chronologically examines each dynasty, detailing their rise to power, significant architectural projects, and impact on Cairo's urban landscape. It argues that these dynasties collectively shaped Cairo's enduring legacy of artistic and intellectual achievement. By integrating political, architectural, and urban elements, Cairo Dynasties offers a holistic narrative of Cairo's development.

    Ida Lupino Forgotten Auteur -...

    Though her acting career is well known, Ida Lupino was, until very recently, either unknown or overlooked as an influential director. One of the few female directors in Classical Hollywood, Lupino was the only woman with membership in the Directors Guild of America between 1948 and 1971. Her films were about women without power in society and engaged with highly controversial topics despite Hollywood's strict production code. Working in a male-dominated field, Lupino was forced to manage her public persona carefully, resisting attempts by the press to paint her solely as a dutiful wife and mother—a continual feminization—just so that she could continue directing. 
     
     
     
    Filmmaker Alexandra Seros retells the story of Ida Lupino's career, from actor to director, first in film, then in television, using archival materials from collections housed around the world. The result provides rich insights into three of Lupino's independently directed films and a number of episodes from her vast television oeuvre. Seros contextualizes this analysis with discussions of gendered labor in the film industry, the rise of consumerism in the United States after World War II, and the expectations put on women in their family lives during the postwar era. Seros's portrait of Lupino ultimately paints her life and career as an exemplar of collaborative auteurship.
