L’auteur y reconstitue l’écheveau complexe des relations entre la ville coréenne, ses acteurs – urbanistes, architectes, administrateurs du secteur public, promoteurs – et ses habitants. Cette quête de la ville et du mode d’habiter coréen met en lumière les différents processus qui ont fait entrer cette société urbaine dans la modernité, au-delà des seuls mécanismes économiques responsables du formidable essor de la Corée du Sud. La géographie des grands ensembles à Séoul, qui bouscule les idées reçues de l’observateur, amène à considérer d’un œil neuf les relations entre formes urbaines et lien social.

Localisation, fondation, urbanisme, architecture et peuplement, rien ne fut laissé au hasard. Que ce soit dans les sites vierges ou sur les emplacements des anciennes cités précolombiennes, règlements, lois et théories étaient à l'œuvre sous la férule des dirigeants pour assurer le pouvoir de Dieu et du Roi pour le bien des colons et des indigènes. Les échanges et influences réciproques entre l' « ancien » et le « nouveau » monde vont jusqu'à nos jours transformer utopies et réalités dans un fantastique laboratoire grandeur nature. La plus récente expérience en fut la modernité, courant international qui permit aux latino-américains, par son application locale, de s'inventer une identité contemporaine. Sous la direction de Jean-François Lejeune, des spécialistes américains et européens explorent cinq siècles de vies et de villes.

Puisant au cœur des arts du monde islamique plus vaste, notamment la Perse et l'Asie Centrale, mais solidement enraciné dans les traditions indiennes, ce style imprégna le moindre aspect de la vie des empereurs moghols, de Babur à Aurangzeb, de leur aristocratie et des membres de leur famille. Il influença leurs manières et l'étiquette de la cour, les plats et les coupes à vin qu'ils utilisaient, leurs riches vêtements et leurs somptueux bijoux, les opulents intérieurs de leurs palais ornées de magnifiques tapis et de brocarts, et les majestueux monuments - tel le Taj Mahal ou les Forts rouges d'Agra et de Delhi - qui proclamaient leur richesse et leur puissance.

Summary:
Orientalism's Interlocutors contests the idea that Orientalist art simply expresses the politics of Western domination and argues instead that it was often produced through cross-cultural interactions. Focusing on paintings and other representations of North African and Ottoman cultures, by both local artists and Westerners, the contributors contend that the stylistic similarities between indigenous and Western Orientalist art mask profound interpretive differences, which, upon examination, can reveal a visual language of resistance to colonization. The essays also demonstrate how marginalized voices and viewpoints—especially women‘s—within Western Orientalism decentered and destabilized colonial authority Among the artists considered are the Algerian painters Azouoau Mammeri and Mohammed Racim; Turkish painter Osman Hamdi Bey; British landscape painter Barbara Bodichon; and the French painter Henri Regnault.
