Si les travaux de Jean Sauvaget, d’André Raymond et de leurs successeurs permettent d’en dresser un tableau détaillé pour les périodes médiévale et moderne, le tournant des XIXe et XXe siècles a été assez peu étudié1. C’est de cette époque dont il est question dans ce livre. A ce moment-là, Damas est touchée par d’importantes transformations ; de nouvelles modalités de développement et de modernisation de l’espace urbain se mettent en place. L’organisation administrative de l’Empire ottoman connaît alors de multiples réformes, la législation en matière de contrôle de l’urbanisation et le mode de gestion des villes sont totalement renouvelés.

Résumé:
War has entered the cities. Since September 11, 2001 at the latest, it has become apparent that this is the case not only in Jerusalem and the Middle East, but also in Western metropolises. This book presents a thorough investigation of the current situation in Jerusalem from a trilateral perspective: Israeli, Palestinian, and international experts air their views. The discussion centers on the production and use of urban space under the conditions created by the conflict, including, for example, the so-called security fence, urban enclaves, exclaves, the approach to monuments and no-man’s-land, and the instrumentalization of infrastructures, which leads to the crass juxtaposition of highly developed and impoverished urban spaces. The conflict, however, does not bring with it destruction and violence alone, but also exhibits ambivalent effects and, along with them, new cultural and urban realities. Jerusalem has become a prototype in the age of new urban violence.

Résumé:
Jerusalem currently stands at the center of a violent controversy that threatens the stability of both the Middle East and the world. This volatility, observes Annabel Jane Wharton, is only the most recent manifestation of a centuries-old obsession with the control of the Holy City—military occupation and pilgrimage being two familiar forms of “ownership.” Wharton makes the innovative argument here that the West has also sought to possess Jerusalem by acquiring its representations. From relics of the True Cross and Templar replicas of the Holy Sepulchre to Franciscan recreations of the Passion to nineteenth-century mass-produced prints and contemporary theme parks, Wharton describes the evolving forms by which the city has been possessed in the West. She also maps those changing embodiments of the Holy City against shifts in the western market. From the gift-and-barter economy of the early Middle Ages to contemporary globalization, both money and the representations of Jerusalem have become progressively incorporeal, abstract, illusionistic, and virtual.

Cet ouvrage a également pour but d’œuvrer à la sauvegarde du patrimoine hydraulique par la création d’un musée de l’Eau où seraient exposées quelques-unes des réalisations du génie hydraulique arabe. Ainsi, ce lieu deviendrait espace de réflexion et source d’inspiration pour les jeunes ingénieurs et un large public.

This city in present-day Iran is still known for its paradisiacal garden landscapes and fascinating buildings, including Naghsh-e Jahan Square, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Eminent Swiss architectural photographer Werner Blaser has captured the beauty of Isfahan in photos that present the masterworks of Persian architecture and horticulture from the 16th to 18th centuries, Isfahan's heyday under the Persian Safavid dynasty. He paints a picture of boulevards, covered bridges, palaces, mosques and minarets.

Résumé:
The history of the book in Tibet involves more than literary trends and trade routes. Functioning as material, intellectual, and symbolic object, the book has been an instrumental tool in the construction of Tibetan power and authority, and its history opens a crucial window onto the cultural, intellectual, and economic life of an immensely influential Buddhist society.Spanning the fourteenth to the eighteenth centuries, Kurtis R. Schaeffer envisions the scholars and hermits, madmen and ministers, kings and queens who produced Tibet's massive canons. He describes how Tibetan scholars edited and printed works of religion, literature, art, and science and what this indicates about the interrelation of material and cultural practices. The Tibetan book is at once the embodiment of the Buddha's voice, a principal means of education, a source of tradition and authority, an economic product, a finely crafted aesthetic object, a medium of Buddhist written culture, and a symbol of the religion itself.
