Facéties
Le Pogge (1380-1459) est, entre autres, un auteur humaniste du Quattrocento, en pleine Renaissance italienne. On trouvera dans cet ouvrage, outre ses 273 Facéties, la reproduction d'une de ses lettres décrivant les moeurs aux Bains de Bade, ainsi qu'un dialogue à l'occasion de son mariage tardif avec une jeunesse de 18 ans : Un vieillard doit-il se marier? Le rapport entre Pogge et Nasr Eddin Hodja ? Si le personnage réel de Nasr Eddin Hodja a vécu entre 1208 et 1284 en Turquie, des mentions dans le Mathnawï de son contemporain et ami Djalâl ad-Dîn Rûmî concernent un Djuha, un de ses nombreux avatars, colportés par la tradition orale jusqu'à nos jours. Comme pour l'oeuf et la pou...

Heart of Beirut
The Bourj in central Beirut is one of the world's oldest and most vibrant public squares. Named after the mediaeval lookout tower that once soared above the city's imposing ramparts, the square has also been known as Place des Canons (after a Russian artillery build-up in 1773) and Martyrs' Square (after the Ottoman execution of nationalists in 1916). As an open museum of civilizations, it resonates with influences from ancient Phoenician to colonial, post-colonial and, as of late, postmodern elements. Over the centuries it has come to embody pluralism and tolerance. During the Lebanese civil war (1975-90), this ebullient entertainment district, transport hub and melting-pot of cultures was ...

The Distance is Always Other
"Originally produced in 1973, the photographs were taken by two elderly American tourists, identified as Bob and Ann. They documented their road trip from Beirut to Baalbek in the Northeast of Lebanon....The couple used a basic stereo camera. Comprising of two fixed focus lenses it produced two images simultaneously offering a slight 'out of sync' viewpoint. The archive comprises vernacular images capturing the Lebanese landscape through various prisms: urban, domestic and exotic, revealing a country on the brink of civil war. Chris Coekin uncovered the archive, on line, in 2016. In collaboration with Noel Nasr they painstakingly pieced together the original route....revisiting the same locations photographed in 1973, attempting to replicate their identical visual perspective....Coekin and Nasr each used vintage fixed lens analogue cameras to capture their 'out of sync' simultaneous moments. The two resulting photographs were then overlaid to form one single image."--Preface

Architecture, Power and Religion in Lebanon
In Architecture, Power and Religion in Lebanon, Ward Vloeberghs explores Rafiq Hariri’s patronage and his posthumous legacy to demonstrate how religious architecture becomes a site for power struggles in contemporary Beirut. By tracing the 150 year-long history of the Muhammad al-Amin Mosque – Lebanon’s principal Sunni mosque – and the subsequent development of the site as a commemoration venue, this account offers a unique illustration of how architecture, religion and power become discursively and visually entangled. Set in a multi-confessional society marked by social inequalities and political fragmentation, this interdisciplinary study analyses how architectural practice and urban reconfigurations reveal a nascent personality cult, communal mourning, and the consolidation of political territory in relation to constantly shifting circumstances.
