Isabelle Michallet explore les voies par lesquelles le droit peut aujourd’hui répondre à l’urgence écologique. Au siècle dernier, les règles juridiques, fondamentalement anthropocentrées, ont souvent traduit une logique généralisée de prédation et de destruction.

Isabelle Michallet explore les voies par lesquelles le droit peut aujourd’hui répondre à l’urgence écologique. Au siècle dernier, les règles juridiques, fondamentalement anthropocentrées, ont souvent traduit une logique généralisée de prédation et de destruction. Le droit doit désormais intégrer la fin de ce modèle. Considérant que l’instrument juridique n’est pas seulement construit par des instances dominées par le politique, elle montre qu’il est aussi l’expression de choix sociétaux et citoyens.

Résumé:
The events that took place on September 11, 2001, in New York City are the background for a series of essays exploring the response of different cities at different times to natural or man-made disaster. How have cities coped with cataclysmic change in the urban fabric both physically and psychologically? How have they memorialized what they have lost, and how have they imagined their future? What have been the effects, in both the short and long term, of these efforts to rebuild the city? From the devastating earthquake that shook Lisbon in 1755 to the Great Chicago fire in 1871; from the bombing of Hiroshima to the destruction of Rotterdam and Plymouth during the second World War; from the cities and towns ravaged by the Bosnian War to the symbolism of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem - this book offers varying perspectives on how cities have responded to catastrophic disasters. Following these case studies is a history of destruction and rebuilding in Manhattan, and a reflection on the role of cities in sustaining democratic culture concludes the book. Contributors to this volume include leading urban theorists, architectural historians, cultural critics, architects, and a film-maker.
