Abstract

The Middle East has been undergoing new crises since the powerful socio-political uprisings known as the Arab Spring took place in several countries in 2011. Some countries are experiencing a long-term collapse of their political and social structures out of internal conflicts and external interventions. This book posits that, in the Middle East, the development of regional dynamics, of processes and circulations of all kinds, can be documented. In this regard, the approaches it develops - 'bottom-up; regionalisation, 'globalisation from below' - allow for a better understanding of the ways in which the Middle East is part of global transformations. The book analyses how, through their practices, Middle East societies elaborate a regional space which is not institutionalised. Based on fieldwork in the Middle East, the book provides venues for further theoretical elaboration on globalisation and contemporary societies, as well as on processes of regionalisation. It draws on the emergence of genuine regional spaces of culture, art, economic activity, human circulation - which supplement and do not contradict - and other infra-national, national, or global social processes. As in other areas of the world, these transformations are to a large extent the mode of the Middle East's insertion into globalisation. In this respect, they go against standard narratives of the supposed 'exceptionalism' of the region.

Abstract

Michel Seurat, assassiné pendant sa captivité en 1986 à Beyrouth lorsqu'il était otage de l'" Organisation du jihad islamique ", une émanation du Hezballah, fut l'un des meilleurs spécialistes du monde arabe contemporain. Arabisant hors pair, homme de terrain scrupuleux, féru de sciences sociales autant qu'islamologue érudit, ce chercheur au CNRS a fécondé les générations successives, et plus d'un quart de siècle après sa disparition, ses textes font toujours référence dans les universités du monde entier, où ils sont devenus un classique de l'école française des études du Proche-Orient. Ses analyses du système de pouvoir syrien à l'époque de Hafez el-Assad, qu'il nomma " l'État de barbarie ", nourries de la lecture du grand historien médiéval Ibn Khaldoun comme de la sociologie française, écrites à chaud dans les années 1980, sont plus que jamais d'actualité tandis que la Syrie dont Bachar el-Assad a hérité s'est enfoncée dans une violence inouïe, où s'enchevêtrent révolution et guerre civile. Ses études des clans, des villes, des milices urbaines alaouites ou islamistes, des Frères musulmans, fournissent des clefs de lecture indispensables pour comprendre les enjeux et les lignes de clivages d'aujourd'hui, à l'heure où le monde arabe est entré dans l'une des phases de bouleversements majeurs de son histoire.

Abstract

This volume focuses on the interplay between urban society and material culture in the medieval and Ottoman Middle East. The history of Jerusalem in the middle ages is discussed by a number of papers as well as Mamluk Tripoli and the urban history of Palestine during the Crusades. The multi-role of the cadi in the Muslim city is illuminated by two studies cases concerning the Fatimid and Mamluk periods. Three aspects of material culture; the production and spread of paper, textiles and the trade in medicinal substances also are dealt with.
