About the Book

English Summary: The continuous success of Nessim Henein's book conduces the Ifao to publish the third edition of unrivaled research. This monograph, dedicated to a hamlet that counted more than 300 villagers in the early 1970s, uncovers rural Said from the ethnographic viewpoint of one of Cairo's knowledgeable city dwellers. This survey was carried out in immersion and is "a pilgrimage to the sources and the awareness of a fundamental Egyptianity" (Charles Vial). Nessim Heneim seizes with acute accuracy society in a village "from top to bottom" on the eve of major changes: habitat, hunting, fishing and agricultural methods, daily lives of the inhabitants, clothing, religious practices and popular culture. As the Description de lEgypte or Edward William Lane's Manners and Customs of Modern Egyptians, both of which it was compared to after publication, this book has become a classic and marks an important landmark in the history of modernity in rural Egypt. The third edition offers a long interview with the author where he looks back on his background, his method of observation and the circumstances of his stays in Mari Girgis. French Description: Trente ans apres sa premiere version, le succes non dementi de l'ouvrage de Nessim Henein conduit l'Ifao a publier la troisieme edition d'un travail demeure sans equivalent. Cette monographie consacree a un hameau qui comptait au debut des annees 1970 un peu plus de trois cents personnes est une decouverte du Sa'id rural, guidee par le regard ethnographique d'un citadin instruit du Caire. Enquete realisee en immersion, c'est "un pelerinage aux sources, la prise de conscience d'une egyptianite fondamentale" (Charles Vial). Habitat, techniques de chasse, de peche et d'agriculture, vie quotidienne des habitants, vetements, pratiques religieuses et culture populaire: Nessim Heneim saisit ainsi une societe villageoise "de la cave au grenier", a la veille de changements majeurs. Comme la Description de l'Egypte ou Manners and Customs of Modern Egyptians d'Edward William Lane, auxquels il a ete compare des sa sortie, le livre, devenu classique, marque un jalon important de l'histoire de la modernite dans l'Egypte rurale. La troisieme edition propose un long entretien de l'auteur ou celui-ci revient sur sa formation, sa methode d'observation et les circonstances de ses sejours a Mārī Girgis. En la preparant, un document exceptionnel a ete retrouve: le film documentaire realise a la meme epoque par Paul Warren, alors jesuite, sur le village. Disponible gratuitement en ligne, sur la chaine YouTube de l'Ifao, le film est eclaire par un supplement a l'ouvrage redige par le realisateur, qui interroge, outre la relation ethnographique elle-meme, le rapport entre film de commande et cinema du reel.
