« Longtemps, ce que l'on a su de l'histoire de Jérusalem, on l'a tiré des auteurs antiques, des témoignages des premiers pèlerins chrétiens et, bien sûr, de la Bible. Mais à partir de 1863, date à laquelle des fouilles sont entreprises sur le site même de la ville sainte, l'archéologie a profondément renouvelé notre compréhension. Michaël Jasmin relève le défi de retracer quatre millénaires d'une histoire aussi chahutée que fascinante. Intégrant les dernières découvertes archéologiques qu'il fait dialoguer avec les sources les plus diverses, il met au jour les dynamiques urbaines et religieuses propres à la cité des trois monothéismes. »--Quatrième de couverture.

"These volumes offer the first critical edition of the Chronique d'Ernoul and the so-called Colbert-Fontainebleau (or Acre) Continuation of William of Tyre in over 150 years. The material is accompanied by an extensive introduction, glossary and bibliography. These two thirteenth-century narratives recount the story of the crusades and the Latin East. Both are anonymous; both employed the French vernacular and both contain accounts that are essential for anyone studying the subject. The Chronique d'Ernoul was completed in the 1230s in northern France. The main part of the Colbert-Fontainebleau Continuation of William of Tyre dates to the late 1240s and is a reworking of Ernoul with material going up to 1277; it was composed in the Latin East."-- Publisher's website.

"This book focuses upon the colony Aelia Capitolina founded by Hadrian on the ruins of Jerusalem, within the general context of his politics of Empire and in particular that of the new developments which had taken place in Judaea since the beginning of his reign. Our knowledge has recently been greatly enhanced thanks to the archaeological excavations carried out in and around Jerusalem. Those of the Shu'afat neighbourhood in north-eastern Jerusalem, 4 km north of the ancient Jerusalem, enlighten us as to what may have been the actual significance of the establishment of the new colony for the Judean Jews, while the excavations carried out in the Old City of Jerusalem allow us to date both the official foundation, presumably two years before the outbreak of the Bar Kokhba War, and the very beginning of the preparatory works, about a decade earlier. These data, in turn, enable us to infer that the founding of the new colony may be seen as one of the causes leading up to the Bar Kokhba War that was to break out a few years later."

Over the last two decades, the Israeli government has implemented policies for the development of East Jerusalem. These comprise urban revitalization as well as professional training and the promotion of entrepreneurship for the Palestinians. But how do these policies co-exist under Israeli settler colonial power? This book focuses on the contradiction between the rise of neoliberal development in East Jerusalem and the simultaneous continuation of Israeli settler colonialism. It argues that the combination of settler colonialism and neoliberalism allows for the 'primitive accumulation of capital' to also occur permanently through deceptive soft forms. More than this, based on theoretical research, interviews, and an analysis of race and class relations in East Jerusalem, the book shows that neoliberal development is used to facilitate the reproduction of racial hierarchies, settler privileges and the pacification of the Palestinian residents, where these outcomes are presented as the 'natural' result of market relations. The author calls this environment 'neoliberal settler colonialism' and explores Palestinians' new acts of resistance that exist ambivalently within this structure. A significant theoretical contribution, the study highlights a new settler colonial and neoliberal sociability that co-opts the exploited and oppressed.

Alors que Jérusalem, proclamée capitale éternelle par l'État d'Israël, est au cœur d'un conflit religieux, politique et médiatique, ses transformations contemporaines montrent une image contrastée. Singulière au plan géo politique, elle fait cependant l'objet, comme d'autres villes, d'un processus de reconquête et de spéculation. Celui-ci s'opère principalement à des fins religieuses et conforte la séparation entre Israéliens juifs et Palestiniens de Jérusalem ou d'Israël, au détriment de la mixité urbaine et sociale. En inscrivant l'analyse des transformations de la ville dans une perspective historique, l'ouvrage aborde tour à tour la sociologie et la démographie de Jérusalem-Ouest depuis 1948, sa gouvernance de plus en plus religieuse et son orientation croissante vers le tourisme et les classes aisées. Jérusalem-Est, quant à elle, apparaît de plus en plus isolée et périphérique. Le livre montre de façon réaliste les récentes mutations sociologiques, économiques et urbaines de la ville trois fois sainte, marquée par une inexorable tendance au repli, malgré la volonté politique d'en faire une capitale internationale.

" En 1099, au terme de la première croisade, des seigneurs venus d'Occident fondent le long du littoral syrien des structures politiques : les Etats latins d'Orient. Ce travail s'intéresse aux pratiques de pouvoir des nobles latins qui dominent et gouvernent ces espaces, aux techniques déployées par les seigneurs pour établir, imposer, légitimer leur contrôle des terres et de leurs habitants, le tout dans un long XIIe siècle allant de la fondation du royaume de Jérusalem à l'arrivée en Orient de Frédéric II Hohenstaufen (1230). Dans un terreau très particulier, marqué par une forte diversité ethnique et confessionnelle, germe une culture politique originale et dynamique, caractérisée par une intense circulation du pouvoir.
