Abstrakt

W artykule omówiono kilka interesujących wątków wykorzystania wizerunku egipskiego sfinksa we współczesnych kontekstach: pomnik Egypt Awakened (Nahdat Misr) w Kairze, symbolizujący współczesny Egipt, oraz wykorzystanie motywu sfinksa jako aspektu protestów społecznych; tzw. arabska wiosna i przewrót polityczny w Egipcie w latach 2010–2012.
