Summary:
The history of Tel Aviv, presented for a moment as an architectural history, can be seen as a part of a wider process in which the physical shaping of Tel Aviv and its political and cultural construction are intertwined, and plays a decisive role in the construction of the case, the alibi, and the apologetics of the Jewish settlement across the country. -- White City, Black City

Summary:
C'est l'histoire d'un petit bout de terre au coeur de Tel-Aviv, sur lequel est bâti aujourd'hui le centre commercial Dizengoff Center ; qui était auparavant Nordia, le quartier de baraquements des immigrés polonais immortalisé par Yaacov Shabtaï dans Pour inventaire ; qui était auparavant une étendue de vignes, de sables et d'orangeraies appartenant à un grand propriétaire terrien arabe de Jaffa : Adib Mahmad Hinawi. Lequel est mystérieusement assassiné à l'arme blanche, le 3 novembre 1939, dans une rue de Jaffa... De ce crime "originel" à l'explosion d'un autobus en 1996, Tamar Berger livre une passionnante enquête sur la naissance d'une jeune métropole, véritable généalogie urbaine d'un territoire ultrasensible : Tel-Aviv. Flânerie littéraire et historique hantée par Walter Benjamin et Charles Baudelaire, réflexion poétique et politique sur la ville, un document d'une richesse unique, entre histoire littéraire, archéologie familiale et saga immobilière, enquête cadastrale et analyse géopolitique.

Summary:
Nous sommes le 23 juillet 2014, à Gaza, dans la maison du beau-père de l’auteur palestinien Atef Abou Saef où vivent désormais 14 personnes de la famille dans seulement 2 pièces. Une explosion terrifiante se fait soudain entendre. Personne ne peut s’habituer à la peur que la prochaine frappe plus près encore. « La pooooooorte ! » crie Jaffa, la fille de 19 mois d’Abou Saef. En effet, personne n’a su lui expliquer l’horrible réalité du bruit terrorisant des explosions. Dans son essai, Léopold Lambert relate les politiques israéliennes du « Bulldozer » : en référence au surnom du général Ariel Sharon – ministre pendant 12 ans entre 1981 et 1999 et Premier ministre entre 2001 et 2006 –, ainsi qu'à la version militarisée du Caterpillar D9 en appliquant la doctrine.

Summary:
Offers an innovative approach to understanding the cultural history of Tel Aviv by exploring the mythical dimension and texture of the city. Founded in 1909 as a "garden suburb" of the Mediterranean port of Jaffa, Tel Aviv soon became a model of Jewish self-rule and was celebrated as a jewel in the crown of Hebrew revival. Over time the city has transformed into a lively metropolis, renowned for its architecture and culture, openness and vitality. A young city about to celebrate its 100th anniversity, the mythic Tel Aviv continues to represent a fundamental idea that transcends the physical texture of the city and the everyday experiences of its residents. Combining historical research and cultural analysis, Maoz Azaryahu explores the different myths that have been part of the vernacular and perception of the city. He relates Tel Aviv’s mythology to its physicality through buildings, streets, personal experiences, and municipal policies. With critical insight, he evaluates specific myths and their propagation in the spheres of both official and popular culture. Azaryahu explores three distinct stages in the history of the mythic Tel Aviv: "The First Hebrew City" assesses Tel Aviv as Zionist vision and seed of the actual city; "Non-Stop City" depicts trendy, global post-Zionist Tel Aviv; and "The White City" describes Tel Aviv’s architectural landscape, created in the 1930s and imbued with nostalgia and local prestige. Tel Aviv: Mythography of a City will appeal to urban geographers, cultural historians, scholars of myth, and students of Israeli society and culture.
