Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quartiers « illégaux », « informels », « irréguliers » : les études sur l’urbanisme proche-oriental s’intéressent de plus en plus à ces lieux de la ville où l’habitat contrevient aux règles de la construction et de l’urbanisme. Ces désignations recouvrent en réalité une grande diversité dans les histoires et les enjeux socio-politiques présidant au développement de ces quartiers. Ce livre en étudie un exemple particulièrement révélateur. La banlieue sud-ouest de Beyrouth concentre la grande majorité des quartiers irréguliers du Liban : ceux-ci participent de la stigmatisation sociale de cette périphérie de la capitale, et les grands projets de reconstruction de l’après-guerre ont par ailleurs fait de l’irrégularité urbaine une question d’actualité. Les occupations de terrains pendant la guerre ou encore les extensions des camps de réfugiés sont liées à l’histoire récente du Liban. Mais en se plongeant dans l’histoire foncière des parcelles irrégulièrement construites et occupées, ce livre révèle que leur sort a également été marqué par des ambiguïtés juridiques remontant à l’époque ottomane ou au Mandat français. Cette profondeur historique remet en perspective le phénomène de l’irrégularité foncière. S’ajoutent des histoires particulières, celles de propriétaires plus ou moins bien placés pour protéger leur bien, qui montrent que les stratégies individuelles ou collectives sont souvent un facteur important pour expliquer la localisation et l’ampleur des irrégularités. Plan, réglementation, loi et norme sont des outils majeurs de l’urbanisme. lorsqu’il organise la ville. Aussi l’irrégularité, qu’elle soit définie en termes juridiques (illégalité) ou formels (désordre visible dans l’espace), fonctionne-t-elle comme un remarquable révélateur des tensions qui traversent l’aménagement urbain. Entretiens, enquêtes de terrain, travail sur des archives cartographiques et juridiques ou encore étude du cadastre mettent ici au jour les raisons qui rendent certains lieux plus vulnérables ou plus accueillants que d’autres à l’irrégularité.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Territories of Poverty challenges the conventional North-South geographies through which poverty scholarship is organized. Staging theoretical interventions that traverse social histories of the American welfare state and critical ethnographies of international development regimes, these essays confront how poverty is constituted as a problem. In the process, the book analyzes bureaucracies of poverty, poor people’s movements, and global networks of poverty expertise, as well as more intimate modes of poverty action such as volunteerism. From post-Katrina New Orleans to Korean church missions in Africa, this book is fundamentally concerned with how poverty is territorialized. In contrast to studies concerned with locations of poverty, Territories of Poverty engages with spatial technologies of power, be they community development and counterinsurgency during the American 1960s or the unceasing anticipation of war in Beirut. Within this territorial matrix, contributors uncover dissent, rupture, and mobilization. This book helps us understand the regulation of poverty—whether by globally circulating models of fast policy or vast webs of mobile money or philanthrocapitalist foundations—as multiple terrains of struggle for justice and social transformation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Architecture, Power and Religion in Lebanon, Ward Vloeberghs explores Rafiq Hariri’s patronage and his posthumous legacy to demonstrate how religious architecture becomes a site for power struggles in contemporary Beirut. By tracing the 150 year-long history of the Muhammad al-Amin Mosque – Lebanon’s principal Sunni mosque – and the subsequent development of the site as a commemoration venue, this account offers a unique illustration of how architecture, religion and power become discursively and visually entangled. Set in a multi-confessional society marked by social inequalities and political fragmentation, this interdisciplinary study analyses how architectural practice and urban reconfigurations reveal a nascent personality cult, communal mourning, and the consolidation of political territory in relation to constantly shifting circumstances.

Book excerpt: This edited volume asks how the city, with its spatial and temporal configuration and its rhythms, produces and shapes violence, both in terms of the built environment, and through particular ‘urban’ social relations. The book builds on the insight that violence itself is a spatiotemporal practice with generative capacities, which produces and transforms urban space and time in the long turn, also through the impact of memory. The analytical categories of space and time must be thought as inextricably linked with each other. Expanding this fundamental conceptual idea offers fresh perspectives on urban violence. The book unites case studies on different world regions and historical periods , and thus challenges assumed binaries of cities the global North and South, the past and present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender and sexual identity formation is an ongoing anthropological conversation in both Middle Eastern studies and urban studies, but the story of gay and lesbian identity in the Middle East is only just beginning to be told. Queer Beirut is the first ethnographic study of queer lives in the Arab Middle East. Drawing on anthropology, urban studies, gender studies, queer studies, and sociocultural theory, Sofian Merabet’s compelling ethnography suggests a critical theory of gender and religious identity formations that will disrupt conventional anthropological premises about the contingent role that society and particular urban spaces have in facilitating the emergence of various subcultures within the city. From 1995 to 2014, Merabet made a series of ethnographic journeys to Lebanon, during which he interviewed numerous gay men in Beirut. Through their life stories, Merabet crafts moving ethnographic narratives and explores how Lebanese gays inhabit and perform their gender as they formulate their sense of identity. He also examines the notion of “queer space” in Beirut and the role that this city, its class and sectarian structure, its colonial history, and religion have played in these people’s discovery and exploration of their sexualities. In using Beirut as a microcosm for the complexities of homosexual relationships in contemporary Lebanon, Queer Beirut provides a critical standpoint from which to deepen our understandings of gender rights and citizenship in the structuring of social inequality within the larger context of the Middle East.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irregular or illegal housing constitutes the ordinary condition of popular urban housing in the Middle East. Considering the conditions of daily practices related to land and tenure mobilization and of housing, neighborhood shaping, transactions, and conflict resolution, this book offers a new reading of government action in the cities of Amman, Beirut, Damascus, Istanbul, and Cairo, focussing on the participation of ordinary citizens and their interactions with state apparatus specifically located within the urban space. The book adopts a praxeological approach to law that describes how inhabitants define and exercise their legality in practice and daily routines. The ambition of the volume is to restore the continuum in the consolidation, building after building, of the popular neighborhoods of the cities under study, while demonstrating the closely-knit social relationships and other forms of community bonding.

Book excerpt: Drawing from scholars with extensive fieldwork experience, this volume covers sixteen cities in fourteen countries across a belt stretching from Latin America, to Africa and the Middle East, and into Asia. Central to what binds these cities are deeply rooted, complex, and dynamic processes of social and spatial division that are being actively reproduced. These cities are not so much fracturing as they are being divided by governance practices informed by local histories and political contestation, and refracted through or infused by market based approaches to urban development. Through a close examination of these practices and resistance to them, this volume provides perspectives on neoliberalism and right to the city that advance our understanding of urbanism in the Global South.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the fact that virtually all urban growth is occurring, and will continue to occur, in the cities of the Global South, the conceptual tools used to study cities are distilled disproportionately from research on the highly developed cities of the Global North. With urban inequality widely recognized as central to many of the most pressing challenges facing the world, there is a need for a deeper understanding of cities of the South on their own terms. Locating Right to the City in the Global South marks an innovative and far reaching effort to document and make sense of urban transformations across a range of cities, as well as the conflicts and struggles for social justice these are generating. The volume contains empirically rich, theoretically informed case studies focused on the social, spatial, and political dimensions of urban inequality in the Global South. Drawing from scholars with extensive fieldwork experience, this volume covers sixteen cities in fourteen countries across a belt stretching from Latin America, to Africa and the Middle East, and into Asia. Central to what binds these cities are deeply rooted, complex, and dynamic processes of social and spatial division that are being actively reproduced. These cities are not so much fracturing as they are being divided by governance practices informed by local histories and political contestation, and refracted through or infused by market based approaches to urban development. Through a close examination of these practices and resistance to them, this volume provides perspectives on neoliberalism and right to the city that advance our understanding of urbanism in the Global South. In mapping the relationships between space, politics and populations, the volume draws attention to variations shaped by local circumstances, while simultaneously elaborating a distinctive transnational Southern urbanism. It provides indepth research on a range of practical and policy oriented issues, from housing and slum redevelopment to building democratic cities that include participation by lower income and other marginal groups. It will be of interest to students and practitioners alike studying Urban Studies, Globalization, and Development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Through elegant ethnography and nuanced theorization . . . gives us a new way of thinking about violence, development, modernity, and ultimately, the city.” —Ananya Roy, University of California, Los Angeles Beirut is a city divided. Following the Green Line of the civil war, dividing the Christian east and the Muslim west, today hundreds of such lines dissect the city. For the residents of Beirut, urban planning could hold promise: a new spatial order could bring a peaceful future. But with unclear state structures and outsourced public processes, urban planning has instead become a contest between religious-political organizations and profit-seeking developers. Neighborhoods reproduce poverty, displacement, and urban violence. For the War Yet to Come examines urban planning in three neighborhoods of Beirut’s southeastern peripheries, revealing how these areas have been developed into frontiers of a continuing sectarian order. Hiba Bou Akar argues these neighborhoods are arranged, not in the expectation of a bright future, but according to the logic of “the war yet to come”: urban planning plays on fears and differences, rumors of war, and paramilitary strategies to organize everyday life. As she shows, war in times of peace is not fought with tanks, artillery, and rifles, but involves a more mundane territorial contest for land and apartment sales, zoning and planning regulations, and infrastructure projects.

This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage se concentre sur une période charnière de l’histoire urbaine de Beyrouth, le mandat français au Liban. Il met en lumière la question du transfert des savoirs et des savoir-faire en urbanisme dans la première moitié du XXe siècle. S’inscrivant dans la continuité des Ottomans, qui avaient déjà eu pour dessein de moderniser la ville, le mandat français prit un processus de modernisation en cours et avança de grands projets pour Beyrouth, siège du haut-commissariat et vitrine de la présence française. L’accent est porté sur les outils mis en place et les réformes structurelles engagées durant le mandat, qui donnèrent à la ville de Beyrouth les moyens de sa transformation. Ce dispositif comprend à la fois la réglementation et l’émergence de nouveaux acteurs urbains et institutionnels. Avec le mandat français au Levant, l’urbanisme de plan s’installe comme mode d’appréhension de la ville. Cet ouvrage met en évidence comment l’urbanisme français de l’entre-deux-guerres s’est exporté vers Beyrouth, comment de nouveaux canons d’esthétique urbaine s’y sont imposés. Les projets d’aménagement de Beyrouth conçus par le cabinet Danger puis par l’architecte Michel Écochard sont représentatifs de deux grands courants de l’urbanisme qui ont marqué les villes durant cette période. Le premier mit en œuvre un urbanisme fondé sur l’art urbain et une pensée hygiéniste, tandis que le second introduisit, de façon avant-gardiste, les grands principes de l’urbanisme du mouvement moderne. L’analyse de ces deux plans d’aménagement de Beyrouth permet de dégager l’outillage conceptuel véhiculé, les interactions avec le terrain et les dynamiques engendrées. Le pouvoir mandataire manqua certes de moyens et de détermination pour envisager une politique urbaine ambitieuse à l’échelle de la ville. Pourtant, en deux décennies de mandat, le mode de production de l’espace urbain fut bouleversé. Les bases étaient jetées pour que Beyrouth devienne quelques années plus tard une capitale qui se vante de son architecture internationale, mais dans laquelle des modes séculaires d’appréhension de l’espace urbain ont survécu aux turbulences du siècle. Marlène Ghorayeb est architecte-urbaniste, docteur en urbanisme et aménagement de l’espace. Professeur à l’École spéciale d’architecture, elle est responsable du 3e cycle d’urbanisme, DES – Mutations urbaines. Ses travaux portent sur le transfert des théories en urbanisme et les enjeux du développement urbain. Ils en ont parlé Un article, Le Courrier de l'Architecte, 12 novembre 2014
