Exploring the ways in which writers utilize the spaces of the city - joining the factual with the imaginary - this book shows how idiosyncratic perceptions of Beirut are produced, generating an infinite number of Beiruts. The city emerges as interactive, dynamic and historical, a place that is created from the streets, buildings, and monuments as well as through performance and social interaction. By referring to factual places in Beirut, the novels produce a strong reality effect through a mimetic mode of expression. Simultaneously, these texts reveal that Beirut is an unstable locale that resists fixity and transparency, shifting between the real and imagined, and the quotidian and discursive. Writing Beirut explores the city in 16 Arabic novels focusing on the urban/rural divide, the imagined and idealized city, the city through panoramic views and pedestrian acts, the city as sexualized and gendered, and the city as a palimpsest. While the book focuses on Beirut in Arabic novels, the introduction provides a thorough overview of Beirut in the modern Arabic novel.Key Features: * Takes an innovative approach to Beirut focusing on the spatial and geographical in a close literary analysis of 16 modern Arabic novels from various parts of the Arab world *Shows how Beirut is imagined in fiction and how writers use the spaces of the city *Draws on sources from the field of geography and space including Foucault, Lefebvre, de Certeau, Sja and Rose

The linguistic categories of aspect, tense and action are closely interrelated. In the first part of Aspect, Tense and Action in the Arabic dialect of Beirut , Stefan Bruweleit defines the three categories and describes the interplay between them at a metagrammatical level. In the next parts he applies the theoretical findings of the first part to the Arabic dialect of Beirut, investigates the ways temporal, aspectual and actional categories are expressed and shows how to decide whether the verb system of the dialect has to be regarded as aspectual or as temporal. One of the main results of the work is the fact that a thorough understanding of a verb system is only possible through an understanding of the categorial interplay of aspect, tense and action.

The "home" is a quintessentially "idian topic, yet one at the center of global concerns: Consumption habits, aesthetic preferences, international trade, and state authority all influence the domestic sphere. For middle-class residents of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Beirut, these debates took on critical importance. As Beirut was reshaped into a modern city, legal codes and urban projects pressed at the home from without, and imported commodities and new consumption habits transformed it from within. Drawing from rich archives in Arabic, Ottoman, French, and English—from advertisements and catalogues to previously unstudied government documents—A Taste for Home places the middle-class home at the intersection of local and global transformations. Middle-class domesticity took form between changing urbanity, politicization of domesticity, and changing consumption patterns. Transcending class-based aesthetic theories and static notions of "Westernization" alike, this book illuminates the self-representations and the material realities of an emerging middle class. Toufoul Abou-Hodeib offers a cultural history of late Ottoman Beirut that is at once global in the widest sense of the term and local enough to enter the most private of spaces.

Quartiers "illégaux", "informels", "irréguliers" : les études sur l'urbanisme proche-oriental s'intéressent de plus en plus à ces lieux de la ville où l'habitat contrevient aux règles de la construction et de l'urbanisme. Ces désignations recouvrent en réalité une grande diversité dans les histoires et les enjeux socio-politiques présidant au développement de ces quartiers. Ce livre en étudie un exemple particulièrement révélateur. La banlieue sud-ouest de Beyrouth concentre la grande majorité des quartiers irréguliers du Liban : ceux-ci participent de la stigmatisation sociale de cette périphérie de la capitale, et les grands projets de reconstruction de l'après-guerre ont par ailleurs fait de l'irrégularité urbaine une question d'actualité. Les occupations de terrains pendant la guerre ou encore les extensions des camps de réfugiés sont liées à l'histoire récente du Liban. Mais en se plongeant dans l'histoire foncière des parcelles irrégulièrement construites et occupées, ce livre révèle que leur sort a également été marqué par des ambiguïtés juridiques remontant à l'époque ottomane ou au Mandat français. Cette profondeur historique remet en perspective le phénomène de l'irrégularité foncière. S'ajoutent des histoires particulières, celles de propriétaires plus ou moins bien placés pour protéger leur bien, qui montrent que les stratégies individuelles ou collectives sont souvent un facteur important pour expliquer la localisation et l'ampleur des irrégularités. Plan, réglementation, loi et norme sont des outils majeurs de l'urbanisme. lorsqu'il organise la ville. Aussi l'irrégularité, qu'elle soit définie en termes juridiques (illégalité) ou formels (désordre visible dans l'espace), fonctionne-t-elle comme un remarquable révélateur des tensions qui traversent l'aménagement urbain. Entretiens, enquêtes de terrain, travail sur des archives cartographiques et juridiques ou encore étude du cadastre mettent ici au jour les raisons qui rendent certains lieux...

Beyrouth, à l’instar d’autres métropoles arabes et méditerranéennes, participe aux dynamiques de la mondialisation contemporaine grâce aux migrations internationales. Les dynamiques de la mondialisation « par le haut » et « par le bas » se croisent, se côtoient et s’ignorent dans la capitale. Les migrantes non arabes – éthiopiennes, philippines ou sri lankaises –, qui viennent travailler à Beyrouth comme domestique, introduisent dans les interstices urbains, de nouvelles altérités et de nouvelles pratiques, devenant ainsi des actrices inattendues dans et de la ville. « Hyper visibilité » et « invisibilité sociale » vont alors de pair ; le degré de visibilité interrogeant de facto le « droit à la ville » et la légitimité à se montrer, à être vu et à être reconnu. La migration reste organisée officiellement pour s’inscrire uniquement dans le cadre d’une domesticité low cost, une mobilité « invisibilisée » fondée sur un turn over très rapide. Cependant, les migrantes, par leur nombre et par contournement de leurs conditions initiales d’accueil, se sont imposées dans la capitale, dépassant partiellement les distinctions entre centre et périphérie. Dans le contexte de ségrégation et de fragmentation qui caractérise la capitale libanaise, les migrantes constituent de nouvelles figures de la citadinité beyrouthine, participant dans les intervalles de l’espace urbain à la « réinvention » de la ville. Elles interrogent in fine la notion de cosmopolitisme qu’induirait cette coprésence. تشكّل‎ ‎حركات‎ ‎الهجرة‎ ‎الدولية‎ ‎وجهاً‎ ‎أساسياً‎ ‎من‎ ‎ظاهرة‎ ‎العولمة‎ ‎المعاصرة‎. ‎على‎ ‎غرار‎ ‎سواها‎ ‎من‎ ‎العواصم‎ ‎العربية‎ ‎والمتوسطية،‎ ‎تتواصل‎ ‎بيروت‎ ‎مع‎ ‎ديناميات‎ ‎العولمة‎ ‎التي‎ ‎تكتسب‎ ‎من‎ ‎خلالها‎ ‎طابعاً‎ ‎دولانياً‎. ‎فالعولمة‎ «‎من‎ ‎الأعلى‎» ‎تتداخل‎ ‎بالعولمة‎ «‎من‎ ‎الأسفل‎» ‎وتتجاوران‎ ‎ضمن‎ ‎الفضاءات‎ ‎البيروتية‎ ‎بدرجات‎ ‎مختلفة‎ ‎على‎ ‎صعيد‎ ‎الانقشاع‎. ‎ إن‎ ‎المهاجرين‎ ‎الغير‎ ‎عرب‎ –‎الأثيوبيين،‎ ‎الفيلبّينيين‎ ‎أو‎ ‎السريلنكيين‎- ‎الذين‎ ‎يقصدون‎ ‎بيروت‎…
