Conçu à partir de la fin du XIXe siècle, le pôle urbain de Sanayeh valorisait la modernité au sein de l'Empire ottoman. Construit sur des dunes de sable, il représentait un défi de l'homme sur la nature. Ce livre, accompagné d'une série de films, propose une vision du quartier des arts et métiers, Sanayeh, tel qu'il est vécu aujourd'hui. Bien que situé au cœur de Beyrouth, Sanayeh dévoile, derrière les immeubles modernes qui entourent désormais le jardin public, un espace plus traditionnel. Une...

Fifteen years after the end of a protracted civil and regional war, Beirut broke out in violence once again, forcing residents to contend with many forms of insecurity, amid an often violent political and economic landscape. Providing a picture of what ordinary life is like for urban dwellers surviving sectarian violence, The Insecure City captures the day-to-day experiences of citizens of Beirut moving through a war-torn landscape. While living in Beirut, Kristin Monroe conducted interviews with a diverse group of residents of the city. She found that when people spoke about getting around in Beirut, they were also expressing larger concerns about social, political, and economic life. It was not only violence that threatened Beirut's ordinary residents, but also class dynamics that made life even more precarious. For instance, the installation of checkpoints and the rerouting of traffic-set up for the security of the elite-forced the less fortunate to alter their lives in ways that made them more at risk. Similarly, the ability to pass through security blockades often had to do with an individual's visible markers of class, such as clothing, hairstyle, and type of car. Monroe examines how understandings and practices of spatial mobility in the city reflect social differences, and how such experiences led residents to be bitterly critical of their government. In The Insecure City, Monroe takes urban anthropology in a new and meaningful direction, discussing traffic in the Middle East to show that when people move through Beirut they are experiencing the intersection of citizen and state, of the more and less privileged, and, in general, the city's politically polarized geography.

Finding Room in Beirut: Places of the Everyday demonstrates why it is worth our while to explore the value and contemporary meaning of urban areas about to undergo complete renewal. Branching off from discourses surrounding the terrain vague, the book argues that large populated urban areas meet the criteria of the vague and constitute a particular perspective from which to build a critical stance in regards to the contemporary city. But unlike a terrain vague, a vague urbain -- inhabited areas where property ownership is usually obscure and informal behaviours a daily affair -- possesses real communities and offers an alternative understanding on how a city can be practiced and how lessons should be learned before its complete transformation. Stemming from a photographic and architectural documentation of Bachoura, a central area of Beirut, Lebanon, the book shows how the vague urbain allows for different ways of inhabiting, ways that are as -- or perhaps even more -- real and anchored in the imagination of the city as those proposed by standardising developments. Building on the intricacies of found situations, improvised uses and local narratives, it is an exploration as to how the meeting of a marvellous realism with l'intrigue, the vague urbain, and temporary architecture can provide opportunities for the emergence of hidden narratives.

La banlieue-sud de Beyrouth constitue une des zones les plus controversées de la capitale du Liban. Aujourd’hui, elle est considérée comme un espace sous-équipé qui, par sa population - 1/3 du Grand-Beyrouth - et son étendue, rivalise avec Beyrouth-municipe. Dans le cadre du processus de reconstruction de la capitale, elle représente donc un enjeu aussi bien politique qu’urbain. La banlieue-sud est en grande partie gérée par des partis politiques fortement implantés qui ont longtemps échappé à l’autorité de l’État. Un de ces partis, Hizballah, est actuellement une force active des plus puissantes et des plus notoires, particulièrement en ce qui concerne la gestion urbaine. Cependant, d’autres intervenants se chargent également de gestion urbaine : al-Mabarrat, le mouvement Amal et le Conseil supérieur chiite. D’autre part, depuis l’accord de Taëf en 1989, l’État effectue un retour en force dans la banlieue-sud en cherchant à regagner la confiance de ses habitants. La banlieue-sud est donc d’abord un espace de concurrence entre ces multiples acteurs. Territoires et limites y sont en permanence remodelés, redessinés et recomposés par leurs relations de pouvoir. Cette caractéristique détermine en grande partie les transformations récentes de cette zone mal connue de la ville. C’est pourquoi j’ai choisi d’analyser la banlieue-sud à travers les politiques urbaines de ses acteurs, publics et privés. Qu’elles soient explicites ou implicites, appliquées ou souhaitées, ces politiques révèlent des dynamiques régulatrices et des processus de négociation, sans cesse renouvelés. Si les rapports de force entre les acteurs ont souvent dégénéré en conflits armés pendant la guerre, aujourd’hui ils prennent d’autres formes, plus subtiles, moins apparentes.
