Instabilité politique, conflits armés, entreprises de reconstruction et spéculation foncière font de la ville un territoire en mutation permanente. Après avoir abordé la notion de patrimoine au Liban depuis 1840, l’autrice a identifié les formes d’une poétique des ruines – photographique, notamment - dont l’ambiguïté réside dans sa capacité à élever au rang de catégorie esthétique les traces d’une violence destructrice. Urbanistes, architectes, défenseurs du patrimoine, anciens propriétaires ou usagers de ces quartiers expriment attachement ou désaffection, faisant émerger des conceptions ordinaires ou savantes des objets urbains familiers comme des lieux symboliques de la ville.
