Sommario/riassunto |

"Selon certaines habitudes visuelles occidentales fixes, le fond s'opposerait à la forme ou à la figure, l'avant au fond, etc. Pour un tableau, une sculpture ou même pour l'architecture, le rapport entre le fond et la forme qui s'y découpe révèle un certain ordre du monde symbolique, du moins signifiant, ordre qui se voit précisément bouleversé au cours de la période qui nous occupe. L'inscription n'est plus si évidente et cette instabilité révèle l'ébranlement des consciences de la seconde modernité, et cela sur plusieurs registres : spirituel, mais aussi politique ou encore sensible.Cette publication entend cerner la manière dont le questionnement sur la notion de fond dans les arts visuels s'articule à des enjeux plus généraux et propres à la période moderne, dont la sécularisation. Aborder une oeuvre par le truchement du fond met donc en lumière grand nombre de ses spécificités. Après une première partie combinant approche matérielle et théorique de la pratique picturale, une deuxième section examine l'enrichissement sémantique apporté par le fond des oeuvres, par-delà l'étude iconographique traditionnelle.0L'interrogation du rapport entre le décor et le fond permet ensuite de redonner une place au non figuré et à l'intangible dans le système des images. Enfin, la dernière partie fait retour sur ce qui structure les oeuvres, sur la cause de la |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
From its earliest days as a royal settlement fronting the pyramids of Giza to its current manifestation as the largest metropolis in Africa, Cairo has forever captured the urban pulse of the Middle East. In Cairo: Histories of a City, Nezar AlSayyad narrates the many Cairos that have existed throughout time, offering a panoramic view of the city's history unmatched in temporal and geographic scope, through an in-depth examination of its architecture and urban form.In twelve vignettes, |

accompanied by drawings, photographs, and maps, AlSayyad details the shifts in Cairo's built environment through stories of important figures who marked the cityscape with their personal ambitions and their political ideologies. The city is visually reconstructed and brought to life not only as a physical fabric but also as a social and political order-a city built within, upon, and over, resulting in a present-day richly layered urban environment. Each chapter attempts to capture a defining moment in the life trajectory of a city loved for all of its evocations and contradictions. Throughout, AlSayyad illuminates not only the spaces that make up Cairo but also the figures that shaped them, including its chroniclers, from Herodotus to Mahfouz, who recorded the deeds of great and ordinary Cairenes alike. He pays particular attention to how the imperatives of Egypt's various rulers and regimes-from the pharaohs to Sadat and beyond-have inscribed themselves in the city that residents navigate today. |
