The film-with its recurring scenes of waiting, menace, and flight-occupies a significant place in Augé's own memory of his uprooted childhood and the wartime exploits of his family. Seamlessly weaving together film criticism and memoir, Casablanca moves between Augé's insights into the filmgoing experience and his reflections on his own life, the collective trauma of France's wartime history, and how such events as the fall of Paris, the exodus of refugees, and the Occupation-all depicted in the film-were lived and are remembered.

Summary:
Celebrated by colonial writers, filmed by Hollywood, magnet for Europeans and Moroccans, Casablanca is above all an exceptional collection of urban spaces, houses, and gardens. While it is true that Casablanca developed as a port city well before the introduction of the French in 1907, it unquestionably ranks among the most significant urban creations of the twentieth century, attracting remarkable teams of architects and planners. Their commissions came from clients who were interested in innovation and modernization, thereby fostering the emergence of Casablanca as a laboratory for legislative, technological, and visual experimentation. Having studied the city for ten years, Jean-Louis Cohen and Monique Eleb trace, from the late nineteenth century to the early 1960s, the rebirth of a once-forgotten port and its metamorphosis into a teeming metropolis that is an amalgam of Mediterranean culture from Tunisia, Algeria, Spain, and Italy. The extensive presentation of the significant buildings of this hybrid city -- where, alongside the French, Muslim and Jewish Moroccan patrons commissioned provocative buildings -- is drawn from French and Moroccan archives, including hundreds of previously unpublished photographs.

Summary:
Le présent ouvrage documente deux réalités urbaines complémentaires qui ont joué un rôle fondamental dans l’imaginaire de la ville moderne du vingtième siècle, ainsi que dans sa définition et ses multiples redéfinitions. Se démarquant de l’idée que l’architecture qui fait l’Histoire est celle des chefs-d’œuvre monumentaux, les textes recueillis ici s’attachent plutôt à l’histoire des espaces publics, des structures d’habitation et des installations communautaires de ces deux villes, dont les plans modernes se sont révélés étonnamment adaptables sur la durée. Cette perspective est illustrée par les photographies de Yto Barrada et de Takashi Homma, deux artistes qui se sont efforcés d’y capturer l’essence de la vie urbaine au quotidien. Dans un monde marqué par la décolonisation et les complexités politiques de la guerre froide, Casablanca et Chandigarh figurent à la fois comme une illustration et un contre-exemple des processus de modernisation et de développement. Les trois chapitres de cet ouvrage établissent le contexte qui permet d’interpréter la réalité urbaine de Casablanca et de Chandigarh comme le résultat de processus dynamiques et nuancés d’échanges internationaux stimulés par l’engagement et l’expertise d’une nouvelle classe de professionnels de l’urbanisme. Grâce à son étude des acteurs, des idéologies et des objectifs qui sous-tendent ces deux réalisations urbanistiques, le présent ouvrage vise à contribuer à une historiographie divergente de l’urbanisme d’après-guerre et aux réflexions actuelles sur l’effet des pratiques transnationales en matière d’urbanisme.

Summary:
This book documents two complementary urban realities that have played a fundamental role in the imagination, definition and redefinition of the twentieth-century modern city. Shifting away from an understanding of architecture as the construction of monumental masterpieces, the texts collected here assemble the narratives behind the public spaces, housing and social facilities in these two cities, where modern plans have proven unexpectedly resilient and adaptable over time. This perspective is reinforced through visual contributions by Yto Barrada and Takashi Homma—two photographers especially invested in capturing everyday urban life. In a world marked by decolonization and Cold War politics, Casablanca and Chandigarh appear simultaneously as exponents of and countercurrents to modernization and its development perspectives. The book’s three chapters set the context for reading Casablanca and Chandigarh as the results of nuanced, dynamic processes of international exchange driven by the engagement and expertise of a new class of design professionals. As a dossier of actors, alignments and agendas, the book contributes to an alternative historiography of post-war urbanism and to recent reflections on the impact of transnational practice.
