| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Studies of Middle Eastern urbanism have traditionally been guided by a limited repertoire of tropes, many of which emphasize antiquity, confinement, and religiosity. Notions of the old city, the walled city, the casbah, the native quarter, and the medina, sometimes subsumed in the quintessential "Islamic city," have all been part of Western scholarship's long-standing fascination with the region. Etched in emblematic "holy cities" like Jerusalem, Mecca, or Najaf, Middle Eastern urban space is heavily associated with the "sacred," complete with mystical visions and assumptions of violent eschatologies and redemption. |
