人文社科高等研究院及人文學院藝術與設計系講座 – 「駁斥種族主義理論的最古老且最具說服力的例證」：古埃及的族群與文化交流
Ancient Egypt has been hailed by a modern scholar of racism as “the most ancient and convincing example to refute racist theories.” From a historical perspective, this lecture will examine issues of ethnicity, cultural interaction, and social identity in ancient Egypt, demonstrating how cultural contact and borrowing contributed to the vitality of Egyptian civilization across technology, literature, and religion. It will also critically assess how modern ideologies from the 19th to the 21st centuries have misappropriated ancient Egypt to support racist theories or cultural appropriation, including National Socialism and Afrocentrism, highlighting the relevance of historical scholarship in understanding contemporary political and cultural discourses.
古埃及被現代研究種族主義的學者譽為「駁斥種族主義理論的最古老且最具說服力的例證」。本講座將從歷史學視角探討古埃及的族群認同、文化互動與社會結構，分析文化交流與借鑒如何促進古埃及文明的持續發展，涵蓋技術、文學、宗教等多個領域。同時，講座亦將檢視近現代（19至21世紀）不同意識形態如何曲解古埃及史料，以支持種族主義理論或進行文化挪用的案例，包括納粹主義與非洲中心主義，揭示歷史研究對現代政治與文化思潮的警示意義。
