Résumé:
This unique book is comprehensive both in terms of time coverage, from before the Pharaohs to the present moment and in that it tries to consider cities from the entire continent, not just Sub-Saharan Africa. Apart from factual information and rich description material culled from many sources, it looks at many issues from why urban life emerged in the first place to how present-day African cities cope in difficult times. Instead of seeing towns and cities as somehow extraneous to the real Africa, it views them as an inherent part of developing Africa, indigenous, colonial, and post-colonial and emphasizes the extent to which the future of African society and African culture will likely be played out mostly in cities. The book is written to appeal to students of history but equally to geographers, planners, sociologists and development specialists interested in urban problems.

Si les travaux de Jean Sauvaget, d’André Raymond et de leurs successeurs permettent d’en dresser un tableau détaillé pour les périodes médiévale et moderne, le tournant des XIXe et XXe siècles a été assez peu étudié1. C’est de cette époque dont il est question dans ce livre. A ce moment-là, Damas est touchée par d’importantes transformations ; de nouvelles modalités de développement et de modernisation de l’espace urbain se mettent en place. L’organisation administrative de l’Empire ottoman connaît alors de multiples réformes, la législation en matière de contrôle de l’urbanisation et le mode de gestion des villes sont totalement renouvelés.

Dans le sillage des combats que se livrent à cette époque les principales dynasties de l'Inde du Sud, les Câlukya, les Pallawa, les Râshtrakûta, se dessine un vaste mouvement de diffusion et de création de modèles artistiques. En transposant le mythe dans l'espace, chaque temple en offre aussi une interprétation propre à travers son programme iconographique. La mythologie hindoue y révèle à la fois sa cohérence et sa richesse. Ce livre propose une analyse des temples qui met en relation les images et le système indien d'appréhension et de représentation.

Résumé:
"India by Design : colonial history and cultural display" maps for the first time a series of historical events - from the Raj in the mid-nineteenth century up to the present day - through which India was made fashionable to Western audiences within the popular cultural arenas of the imperial metropole. Situated at the convergence of discussions in anthropology, art history, museum studies, and postcolonial criticism, this dynamic study investigates with vivid historical detail how Indian objects, bodies, images, and narratives circulated through metropolitan space and acquired meaning in an emergent nineteenth-century consumer economy. Through an examination of India as represented in department stores, museums, exhibitions, painting, and picture postcards of the era, the book carefully confronts the problems and politics of postcolonial display and offers an original and provocative account of the implications of colonial practices for visual production in our contemporary world.

Only a few decades ago, Dubai was merely a tranquil Bedouin city. Today, the skyline of a boomtown rises from the desert. Reports about it are distinguished by superlatives. In particular, reports regardign new buildings in this country of little shadow overshadow anything that has been constructed before. Burj Al Arab, currently the world's largest luxury hotel, with its also technically unique facade is just one example of these buildings. Palm Project or Hydropolis, both visionary, artificially created islands belong to the same category. As does the construction of the world's highest apartment tower. Dubai presents a kind of preview of the ultramodern - a trend that is also reflected in the design of various restaurants, hotels and label stores. Representing the most important gate to the Middle East, this city is primarily one thing: thoroghly international and with incredible power on its way to a new future. This is the theme of this book, with chosen objects and crucial information concerning them.
