Ce passionnant parcours à travers les synagogues de France et d'Afrique du Nord à partir du XVIIIe siècle constitue une importante et originale contribution à l'histoire politique, culturelle et sociale des juifs. Il permet en effet de déchiffrer les synagogues comme des objets relevant à la fois de l'architecture et de la sociologie, c'est-à-dire de les considérer en tant que l'expression d'une époque donnée, de ses goûts, de ses préjugés et de ses idéaux.

Résumé:
Comment, au-delà du symbole, les ruines deviennent un enjeu artistique. Depuis le début des années 1990 (fin de la guerre civile), Beyrouth connaît de profondes transformations. 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.

Résumé:
Everyday Technology is a pioneering account of how small machines and consumer goods that originated in Europe and North America became objects of everyday use in India in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Rather than investigate “big” technologies such as railways and irrigation projects, Arnold examines the assimilation and appropriation of bicycles, rice mills, sewing machines, and typewriters in India, and follows their impact on the ways in which people worked and traveled, the clothes they wore, and the kind of food they ate.

Résumé:
Architecturally, Burma is both a melting pot and a museum. Boasting a wealth of influences from all of the countries that surround it--India, China, Laos, Thailand, Bhutan, Laos--Burma has also preserved many key examples of religious architectural styles no longer extant in their countries of origin, most famously in Pagan, the country’s capital in the ninth to twelfth centuries. Authored by Lorie Karnath, President of the Explorer’s Club in New York, Architecture in Burma is an overview of the astounding architectural treasures of this long-isolated country.
