A vital need for the populations of the region, the control and sharing of this resource, present in abundance for some and rarer for others, has indeed been for many decades one of the key issues in peaceful negotiations between the two camps. The Jordan Basin in the Arab-Israeli conflict begins by detailing the various available water resources and identify consumption habits of the inhabitants in the middle of the XX th century. Then, in the chapter "Hydropolitical chronology of the Middle East", the author explains, since 1913, the importance of the demand for access to the Jordan basin in the genesis of Israel and in the oppositions that this political project was able to arouse. The interest of this book rests finally on its many maps and its Annex, which draws up an exhaustive list of the hydraulic works planned and / or carried out on the Jordan between 1948 and 1964.Cahiers du CERMOC ;6.Business & EconomicsHILCCAgricultural EconomicsHILCCBusiness & EconomicsAgricultural EconomicsAyeb Habib928453PQKBUkMaJRUBOOK9910132285403321Le bassin du Jourdain dans le conflit Israelo-Arabe2191520UNINA03772nam 2200541I 450 991083309790332120230113092851.09781943208494194320849210.3998/mpub.12762617(CKB)5850000000317416(MiU)10.3998/mpub.12762617(ScCtBLL)fdf198a4-a177-43db-bc88-7cb3d9b47a3d(EXLCZ)99585000000031741620230113h20222022 uy 0engurunu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierMaria Thereza Alves seeds of change /edited by Carin Kuoni and Wilma LukatschAmherst, Massachusetts :Amherst College Press,[2022]©20221 online resource (216 pages) illustrations (some color)9781943208487 1943208484 Includes bibliographical references.Throughout her prolific career, Brazilian artist Maria Thereza Alves has focused precisely on this question. Perhaps her most iconic, generative, and expansive work is Seeds of Change, a twenty-year investigation into the hidden history of ballast flora--displaced plant seeds found in the soil used to balance shipping vessels during the colonial period. The project examines the influx and significance of imported plants, materializing at port cities across several continents: Marseille, Reposaari, Liverpool, Exeter and Topsham, Dunkerque, Bristol, Antwerp, and most recently New York, where it was awarded the Jane Lombard Prize for Art and Social Justice by the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School. In each city, Seeds of Change has revealed the entangled relationship between "alien" plant species and the colonial maritime trade of goods and enslaved peoples, contrasting their seemingly innocuous beauty with the violent history associated with their arrival. By focusing on ballast flora, Alves invites us to de-border postcolonial historical narratives and consider a "borderless history." The first monograph of Alves's historic project, Seeds of Change is edited by Carin Kuoni and Wilma Lukatsch and features essays by the artist as well as Katayoun Chamany, Seth Denizen, Jean Fisher, Yrjö Haila, Richard William Hill, Heli M. Jutila, J. Kēhaulani Kauanui, Lara Khaldi, Tomaž Mastnak, Marisa Prefer, and Radhika Subramaniam.Egor Petrovich Kovalevsky embarked on a journey through what is today Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, and Ethiopia, recording his impressions of a region in flux. Invited by Egyptian ruler Mohammed Ali to look for gold and construct mines in the area between the Blue and White Nile, Kovalevsky captured the social milieu of both elites and ordinary people as well as compiled a rich record of the Upper Nile's climate and natural resources. A Journey Into Inner Africa, masterfully translated into English for the first time by Anna Aslanyan, is both a tale of encounter between Russia and northern Africa and an important document in the history and development of the Russian imperial project.Seeds of changePlantsMigrationAlien plantsShippingSocial aspectsImperialismPort citiesSocial aspectsPlantsMigration.Alien plants.ShippingSocial aspects.Imperialism.Port citiesSocial aspects.Alves Maria Thereza1961-1725596Kuoni CarinLukatsch WilmaEYMEYMBOOK9910833097903321Maria Thereza Alves4129406UNINA
