Recenzii
'A
compelling
work
of
powerful
reportage,
careful
analysis,
and
creative
disruptions
through
which
Hafeda
masterfully
engages
the
visible
and
invisible
borders
of
today's
cities.
Taking
Beirut
as
his
landscape
of
intervention,
the
artist-author
trespasses
disciplinary
boundaries
as
he
navigates
the
distance
between
scholarly
and
everyday
voices,
but
also
the
defining
lines
between
art
and
social
sciences,
the
audio-visual
and
the
textual,
the
researched
and
the
researcher,
the
governed
and
the
governing,
history
and
now,
public
and
private
realms,
and
more.
Each
of
the
four
provocations
presented
in
the
book
deconstructs
outmoded
assumptions
about
sectarianism's
immutability,
unravelling
instead
the
everyday
mobilizations
of
historical
and
contemporary
practices
that
sustain
it.
The
outcome
is
an
important
contribution
that
implores
us
to
think
critically
about
the
making
and
remaking
of
urban
borders
in
today's
world.'
'This book is an analytico-artisitic examination of what the author calls 'bordering practices'. Beside offering an interesting and provocative take on sectarianism and borders in Lebanon, the book is particularly useful to read for students of spatial practices from any discipline: reading it actually awakens the reader's spatio-sensory apparatuses, and sharpens one's appreciation of the various modes of experience pertaining to the spatial domain.'
'Beirut is a city shaped by the "chronic" experience of civil war and by political-sectarian conflicts that inscribe multiple borders onto the urban space. Mohamad Hafeda has been walking in that city for a long time, looking at the way in which people narrate and negotiate those borders. He has been working with residents and connecting artistic intervention and research to their tactical practices of resistance. The result is an amazing book.Negotiating Conflict in Lebanonis a book on Beirut but it has something to offer to anybody interested in borders and border struggles also elsewhere.'
'The question of marking territories and defining borders in the city of Beirut demands not only a distinct and complex approach, but also a considered and enduring level of engagement. Mohamad Hafeda's volume, detailing the nuances of his current site-specific and practice-led research projects, provides not only this level of commitment, it also offers a thoroughly engaging encounter with the profound social and political processes that determine how we negotiate conflict.'
