Abstract

This paper explores various spatial dimensions of Nicosia, the capital city of Cyprus that eventually came to be divided in 1974. Capitals are generally regarded as the spaces exemplifying nationalist ideologies, and in Nicosia these processes acquired added urgency due to the ethnic conflict that took place in Cyprus, leading to almost obsessive efforts to inscribe the national Self on the landscape and erase the Other.

Barcelona appeared on the global map at the end of the 80s and sealed its official presentation with the Olympic Games in 1992. The city’s capital most applauded at that time, was its town-planning renovation supervised by the so called “Model Barcelona”.

A city is built exactly as history is, always by the victors, and always
according to the victors‚ history. Those who control the physical space

This article simply claims that the war has left traces that are indelible by the years of peace or reconstruction, and so must the Lebanese learn to live in its wake.

Some notes on "Péra" in Istanbul by Vasif Kortun

Most of Istanbul's institutions dealing with art and culture have been located on and around the Avenue between Taksim and Tünel. The Avenue's original name was Grande Rue de Péra, and changed to "Avenue of Independence" after the establishment of the Republic of Turkey. The nostalgia for Pera of the late 19th Century held its way for decades with pretty much the same nuances.

“Simultaneously Hamitic, Semitic, even Arian, Pagan, Jewish, Christian and Muslim; both African, Asiatic, and European; a continent which has no relationship with our own usual measurements of space and time, for Africa starts from the Pyrenees and the Middle Ages survive there alongside the most daring contemporary offerings; simultaneously Roman and Carthaginian, Alexandrine and Hebraic, Hellenic and Catalan; the stage of contrasts par excellence, fertile homeland of myths and mirages.”
