Book excerpt: Le terme Moyen-Orient, qui traduit l'expression anglo-saxonne Middle East, n'apparaît qu'au début du XXe siècle pour désigner cette zone médiane entre Proche et Extrême-Orient, centrée sur le golfe Persique.

Download or read book Subalterns and Social Protest written by Stephanie Cronin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The articles in this collection provide an alternative view of Middle Eastern history by focusing on the oppressed and the excluded, offering a challenge to the usual elite narratives. The collection is unique in its historical depth - ranging from the medieval period to the present - and its geographical reach, including Iran, the Ottoman Empire/Turkey, the Balkans, the Arab Middle East and North Africa. The first to focus on the oppressed and the excluded, and their differing strategies of survival, of negotiation, and of protest and resistance, the book covers: both major social classes and sectors the working class the peasantry the urban poor women marginal groups such as gypsies and slaves Based on perspectives drawn from the work of the great European social historians, and particularly inspired by Antonio Gramsci, the collection seeks to restore a sense of historical agency to subaltern classes in the region, and to uncover ‘the politics of the people’.
Download or read book The Politics of the Past written by Peter Gathercole and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-01-14 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'History is written by the winners' is the received wisdom. This book explains why historical interpretation has to incorporate perspectives from those other than 'winners', and demonstrates archaeology's crucial role in this wide-ranging approach. The book draws more on Africa, Afro-America, Australasia and Oceania than on Europe, the source of the traditionally dominant perspective in archaeology. The four organizing themes of The Politics of the Past are the forms and consequences of the Eurocentric heritage, the conflicting perspectives of rulers and ruled, the significance of administrative and institutional rivalries, and the cleavages that divide professional from popular views of archaeology. Archaeologists, anthropologists, historians and other scholars will find The Politics of the Past illuminating and provocative. It will enrich historical and archaeological inquiry and interpretation, and ramify their relevance for public policy.
Download or read book The Politics and Practices of Cultural Heritage in the Middle East written by Irene Maffi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-21 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the nineteenth century, cultural heritage became a dominant feature of the political ideology of the European states and of their colonies. It became a new form of legitimization for the rising nation-state, cementing its inextricable link with that nation's politics and practices. The set of concepts and practices defining cultural heritage were exported to, and imposed over, the colonized populations in North Africa and the Near East. The legacy of the colonial period has proven very significant in the domain of cultural heritage which has become a crucial cultural arena in many Arab states. As in the majorities of post-colonial states, in the Arab world, the inherited paradigm of cultural heritage has been subject to various forms of adaption and re-elaboration that have made it a lively and complex space of negotiations between various actors. Thus, in The Politics of Cultural Heritage in the Middle East, Irene Maffi and Rami Daher draw together expert scholars to unravel these complex processes that are involved in the definition, production and consumption of heritage and its material culture in the Middle East, and the dynamics of the key actors involved. The variety of the cases analysed that cover the region from Morocco to Lebanon, as well as the multiplicity of the actors concerned such as the state (post-colonial or colonial), international organizations, municipal councils, local communities, families and even exceptional personalities, highlights and explores the complex processes where very local and specific dynamics intertwine with transnational economic, political and cultural fluxes. In its examination of the workings of cultural heritage in the Middle East, this book is an important resource for students and scholars of Middle East Studies, Cultural History, History of Art and Architecture, and for stakeholders involved in the field of cultural heritage.

Download or read book Les crises d Orient written by Henry Laurens and published by Fayard. This book was released on 2017-02-08 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En ce début de xxie siècle, le cycle d’instabilités au Moyen-Orient commencé en 2003 et qui s’est accéléré depuis 2011 a pris une dimension particulièrement dangereuse. Et l’on se donne l’impression d’être dans une situation nouvelle. En réalité, le Moyen-Orient a connu, tout au long du xixe siècle, des crises dites d’Orient. Dans un jeu d’ingérences et d’implications entre acteurs locaux, régionaux et internationaux, au point que l’on ne sait plus qui manipulait l’autre, ces crises opposèrent des intérêts et des projections culturelles contradictoires, aussi bien des Européens sur les pays dits orientaux que de ces derniers vers ce que l’on appelait le « monde civilis頻. Les États affrontèrent une violence parfois extrême, répondant dans l’urgence par des solutions politiques souvent boiteuses. Henry Laurens reprend à son fondement cette « question d’Orient » si multiple, liée aux recompositions successives de l’Empire ottoman et du « Grand Jeu » qui opposa, en Asie, Russie et Grande-Bretagne entre la fin du xviiie siècle et 1914. Henry Laurens est titulaire, depuis 2003, de la chaire d’histoire contemporaine du monde arabe au Collège de France et auteur de plus d’une vingtaine d’ouvrages d’histoire, notamment la Question de Palestine (5 vol.) première véritable synthèse d’une des questions essentielles de notre temps.
Download or read book Islamist Politics in the Middle East written by Samer Shehata and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over three decades, Islamist politics, or political Islam, has been one of the most dynamic and contentious political forces in the Middle East. Although there is broad consensus on the importance of political Islam, there is far less agreement on its character, the reasons for Islamist’s success, the role of Islamist movements in domestic and international affairs, or what these movements portend for the future. This volume addresses a number of central questions in the study of Islamist politics in the Middle East through detailed case studies of some of the region’s most important Islamist movements. Chapters by leading scholars in the field examine the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Hizbullah, Morocco’s Justice and Benevolence, the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood, the Sunni Insurgency in Iraq and Islamist politics in Turkey and Iran. The topics addressed within this volume include social networks and social welfare provision, Islamist groups as opposition actors, Islamist electoral participation, the intersection of Islam and national liberation struggles, the role of religion in Islamist politics, and Islam and state politics in Iran, among other topics. All of the contributing authors are specialists with deep knowledge of the subject matter who are committed to empirically based research. These scholars take Islamists seriously as modern, sophisticated, and strategic political players. Together, their work captures much of the diversity of Islamist politics in the region and will contribute to the scholarship on a topic that continues to be important for the Middle East and the world.

Download or read book Cities and Sovereignty written by Diane E. Davis and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities have long been associated with diversity and tolerance, but from Jerusalem to Belfast to the Basque Country, many of the most intractable conflicts of the past century have played out in urban spaces. The contributors to this interdisciplinary volume examine the interrelationships of ethnic, racial, religious, or other identity conflicts and larger battles over sovereignty and governance. Under what conditions do identity conflicts undermine the legitimacy and power of nation-states, empires, or urban authorities? Does the urban built environment play a role in remedying or exacerbating such conflicts? Employing comparative analysis, these case studies from the Middle East, Europe, and South and Southeast Asia advance our understanding of the origins and nature of urban conflict.

Download or read book Popular Housing and Urban Land Tenure in the Middle East written by Myriam Ababsa and published by American University in Cairo Press. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 400 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: À travers les contributions de douze auteurs proposant, à partir de leurs spécialités, des forages à l'intérieur des sociétés du Moyen-Orient entre la fin du xixe siècle et les années 1980, nous faisons le pari d'écrire une synthèse qui ne soit pas une somme. Les femmes, les migrations, les minorités, les citadinités, la modernisation ou encore l'âge des révolutions : autant d'objets d'histoire sociale dans leur forme la plus ouverte, d'emblée politique, en ce qu'ils interrogent ce qui est affecté par le politique et ce qui, dans le monde social, affecte le politique. Autant de questions pour aujourd'hui. L. D. Inédit Leyla Dakhli Chercheuse au CNRS, elle s'intéresse à l'histoire intellectuelle et sociale du monde arabe contemporain. Elle a récemment publié Histoire du Proche-Orient contemporain (La Découverte, 2015).
