Abstract

D'après le stéréotype, les femmes vivant au Maghreb et au Moyen-Orient sont opprimées par une religion patriarcale et des traditions ancestrales. Ce petit livre donne à voir une réalité, ou, plutôt, des réalités différentes. Loin d'être un tabou, les droits et modes de vie des femmes constituent dans cette région une question centrale depuis le XIXe siècle, où, dans des situations de domination coloniale ou impériale, de multiples formes de prédation économique, d'exploitation et de guerre ont bouleversé les rapports de genre. L'ouvrage analyse les résistances opposées par ces femmes, quelles soient rurales ou urbaines, des classes populaires ou lettrées. Il met en lumière leurs usages diversifiés de l'islam, mais aussi leurs mobilisations pour l'emploi, contre les colonialismes, les guerres et les occupations - ou, plus récemment, à la faveur des révolutions, les luttes contre le racisme et l'oppression des minorités sexuelles et de genre. Encastrés dans des histoires politiques, sociales et économiques singulières, les transformations et mouvements liés aux rapports de genre représentent un enjeu essentiel pour le Maghreb et le Moyen-Orient du XXIe siècle.

Abstract

The articles in this book encompass a broad historical panorama and consider the presence of litanic prayers and songs in different religions, beginning with written records in the Egyptian, Sumerian and Hebrew languages and finishing with Christian works from diverse denominations. The research presents the litany as an exceptionally long-lasting genre which for several thousand years existed in the Middle-Eastern and European traditions, easily conforming to changes in religious or historical circumstances. An interdisciplinary approach by scholars representing different fields of study, including the history of liturgy, Egyptology, Assyriology, literary studies, musicology and ethnosemiotics, allows the eclectic character of litanies to be revealed, litanies which not only were a form of church prayer but also had an impact on the organization of social rituals as well as being appropriated by all the major fields of art, poetry, the fine arts and music. The musicological articles in the book address the performance of Sumerian prayers, the liturgical songs of the Middle Ages, litanies in Tudor England and polyphonic works of the great composers, such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Abstract

This book is the first systematic collection and discussion of dwellings in the Umayyad 'cities' (madāʼin) and 'palaces' (quṣūr) of Bilād al-Shām. Giuseppe Labisi offers an overview of the apartments within and identifies the architectural models that inspired Umayyad dwellings. This study also allows the precise identification of the origin of pre-Islamic dwelling models and their reinterpretation in Umayyad domestic architecture. Through classification, the author has been able to group the apartments of quṣūr chronologically by the reigns of the Umayyad caliphs. The identification of the dictates of Islamic domestic tradition and the characteristics of early Islamic Arabia and Late Antique houses offer original insight and allow us to situate the Umayyad residences of Bilād al-Shām in their wider cultural context. Additionally, Umayyad dwellings have been classified and presented in a rich catalogue as an appendix within the text

Abstract

Reflections: contemporary art of the Middle East and North Africa brings together an extraordinary collection of work from the British Museum for the first time. The contemporary art of the Middle East and North Africa is rich and vibrant. Whether living in their countries of birth or in diaspora, the featured artists are part of the globalised world of art. Here we see artists responding to and making work about their present, histories, traditions and cultures, reflecting on a part of the world that has experienced extraordinary change in living memory. The British Museum has been acquiring the work of Middle Eastern and North African artists since the 1980s, and the collection – principally works on paper – is one of the most extensive in the public sphere. Collected within the context of a museum of history, the works offer insights into the nature of civil societies, the complex politics of the region, and cultural traditions in their broadest sense, from the relationship with Islamic art to the deep engagement with literature. The introduction to the book by curator Venetia Porter explores the history of the collection and the works included. The essential framework for understanding the politics and context within which the artists is provided by an essay by Charles Tripp. The works are grouped into seven chapters, each beginning with a short introduction. The authors explore the section within themes such as faith, abstraction and the female gaze. --The British Museum

Abstract

En quoi la mutation de la question des réfugiés au début du xxe siècle provoque-t-elle son entrée dans le champ des relations internationales ? En quoi peut-on alors parler des débuts d’une diplomatie humanitaire en temps de paix concernant les réfugiés ? Comment l’étude de la scène proche-orientale et des plans d’établissement de la Société des Nations dans les années vingt permet-elle de saisir sur le terrain la nature et les limites de cette diplomatie ? Voici quelques-unes des questions posées par cet ouvrage qui contribue à la socio-histoire des relations interna­tionales, fondée sur une approche pluridisciplinaire des migrations forcées au XXe siècle. Dans le Proche-Orient des années 1918-1923, les réfugiés en Glide, Syrie et Liban s’intègrent dans la politique orientale de la France comme éléments de la stratégie de guerre, puis des rivalités territoriales et enfin, après 1921, du jeu minoritaire. La mise en pratique des plans interna­tionaux d’établissement des réfugiés arméniens puis assyriens en Syrie et au Liban entre 1927 et 1938, l’intervention du Comité international de la Croix-Rouge lors de la révolte druze (1925-1926) permettent d’analyser les lignes de force qui traversent le réseau humanitaire européen. Plus généralement, la réflexion menée interroge la mutation qui affecte la question des réfugiés au lendemain de la Première Guerre mondiale : mouvements de masse, essor sans précédent de l’apatridie, dénationalisations forcées, dans un contexte marqué par la nationa­lisation des sociétés européennes et l’augmentation de l’intervention étatique.
