Abstract This article presents a literary genealogy of the titular character in Verdi's Aida. While scholars have explored opera's resonances with late nineteenth-century conceptions Orientalism, Blackness and imagined ‘East’, Aida's etymology traits reflect much broader archetype that extends back century from its 1871 premiere.

Aida thus an assemblage ready-made archetypes scenarios rather than author's sui generis depiction non-Western culture. An intertextual reading offers perspective alterity nineteenth century, which eschewed geographical specificity for archetypes, quotations allusions. It also another way to confront claims authenticity made current-day defenders brownface work.

The VERDI fission fragment spectrometer
The VERDI time-of-flight spectrometer is dedicated to measurements of fission product yields and of prompt neutron emission data. Pre-neutron fission-fragment masses will be determined by the double time-of-flight (TOF) technique. For this purpose an excellent time resolution is required. The time of flight of the fragments will be measured by electrostatic mirrors located near the target and t...
