  Urban and architectural identities in Mediterranean cities

  Identités urbaines et architecturales dans les villes méditerranéennes

  The architectural and urban diversity characterising mediterranean city is inseparable from their identity. It seems clear at that this diversity and multiplicity of different identities shoud be considered as one of the greatest cultural and human values. The coexistence of forms in time and space, the blending of urban and architectural cultures, influences and contaminations, even the contrast and and contradictions of identity that are revealed in the mediterranean urban  territory reflect the stratification of the city in its pragmatics implications and its identity meanings. Today, in a context of a competition and attractiveness betwen territories, several mediterranean cities are going through a period of profound changes. Faced with these transformations, the reference to "identity territories" (Troin, 2004) and the ability of the city to build an identity and speared it among the population are called into question.

  Call for papers - History

  Urban and social development in Damascus from medieval to modern times (early 12th - mid 19th centuries)

  Call for papers for the Bulletin d'Etudes Orientales 2011

  Par ce numéro thématique du Bulletin d'études orientales portant sur l'histoire sociale et urbaine de Damas du début du XIIe à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, nous nous proposons dans un premier temps de combler un vide historiographique. En effet, malgré les nombreux travaux, ouvrages et articles régulièrement publiés, entre autres à l’Institut, il n'existe pas à ce jour de publication scientifique ayant pour objectif de fournir au lecteur, spécialiste ou non, aussi bien un état de la recherche actuelle qu'une synthèse thématique, diachronique et pluridisciplinaire ayant pour objet, l'histoire de la ville de Damas et les modalités de son développement aux époques médiévale et moderne.
