White Paper on Land, Law and the Imaginary
Author: Adelita Husni-Bey
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789492095275
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
Conceived as an exploratory collection of materials, the content of this book revolves around the relationship that artist Adelita Husni-Bey explored between legislation, notions of property, and agency vis-à-vis the right to housing in Egypt, the Netherlands, and Spain. Each chapter presents itself as a reflection of the themes: Land, Law, Imaginary, that range from art historical perspectives to narrative fiction, collages and field-work notes. As such the book's structure speaks to the project's unfolding in time and its presence in radically distinct contexts, while also chronicling the multi-disciplinary approach and the wide range of formats and methodologies the project has brought to great effect.

States of Dispossession
Author: Zerrin Özlem Biner
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 0812296591
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
The military conflict between the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and the Turkish Armed Forces has endured over the course of the past three decades. Since 1984, the conflict has claimed the lives of more than 45,000 civilians, militants, and soldiers, as well as causing thousands of casualties and disappearances. It has led to the displacement of millions of people and caused the forced evacuation of nearly 4,000 villages and towns. Suspended periodically by various cease-fires, the conflict has been a significant force in shaping many of the ethnic, social, and political enclaves of contemporary Turkey, where contradictory forms of governance have been installed across the Kurdish region. In States of Dispossession, Zerrin Özlem Biner traces the violence of the protracted conflict in the Kurdish region through the lens of dispossession. By definition, dispossession implies the act of depriving someone of land, property, and other belongings as well as the result of such deprivation. Within the fields of Ottoman and contemporary Turkish studies, social scientists to date have examined the dispossession of rights and property as a technique for governing territory and those citizens living at its margins. States of Dispossession instead highlights everyday experiences in an attempt to understand the persistent and intangible effects of dispossession. Biner examines the practices and discourses that emerge from local memories of unspoken, irresolvable histories and the ways people of differing religious and ethnic backgrounds live with the remains of violence that is still unfolding. She explores the implicit knowledge held by ordinary people about the landscape and the built environment and the continuous struggle to reclaim rights over dispossessed bodies and places.

Bedouin Bureaucrats
Author: Nora Barakat
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 1503635635
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
In the late nineteenth century, the Ottoman government sought to fill landscapes they legally defined as "empty." Both land and people were incorporated into territorially bounded grids of administrative law. Bedouin Bureaucrats examines how tent-dwelling, seasonally migrating Bedouin engaged in these processes of Ottoman state transformation on local, imperial, and global scales. As the "tribe" became a category of Ottoman administration, Bedouin in the Syrian interior used this category both to gain political influence and to organize community resistance to maintain control over land. Narrating the lives of Bedouin individuals involved in Ottoman administration, Nora Elizabeth Barakat brings this population to the center of modern state-making, from their involvement in the pilgrimage administration in the eighteenth century and their performance of land registration and taxation as the Ottoman bureaucracy expanded in the nineteenth, to their eventual rejection of Ottoman attempts to reallocate the "empty land" they inhabited in the twentieth. She places the Syrian interior in a global context of imperial expansion into regions formerly deemed marginal, especially in relation to American and Russian empires. Ultimately, the book illuminates Ottoman state formation attempts within Bedouin communities and the unique trajectory of Bedouin in Syria, who maintained their control over land.
