SATURDAY | SEPTEMBER 13 | 1:30 – 3:30 PM
NORMA KERSHAW AUDITORIUM | LECTURE
Presented by Dr. Stuart Tyson Smith, Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Santa Barbara
This lecture explores how Stargate and The Mummy portray ancient Egypt through Orientalist lenses, blending imaginative fantasy with problematic stereotypes. By examining the films' production contexts and creative teams, the talk reveals how these factors shape audience reception and influence the cultural impact of their depictions of Egypt.
