| | Quantum City | | Ayssar Arida |
| | "Quantum City proposes a description of quantum theory and the concepts of the 'new' physics of the 20th century, in a concise, non-technical language that is enjoyable to read and easy to understand for lay-people. "From this, it develops a conceptual language that can then be applied to different disciplines, in particular to urban design, where it is clear that the new vision can provide powerful insights into the growth and self-organisation of cities at different scales. The new language thus permits a higher degree of integration between the different disciplines of the city, and promises to be a useful metaphor for the development of various theories for the 21st century city." |

I investigate abjection theories through Julia Kristeva and Georges Bataille and focus on a particular form I call the maternal abject. This occurs at the time an infant separates from its mother, acquires language and maps its own body." |

| | Comment la littérature réinvente la mémoire | | Claude Burgelin | "Science Magazine La Recherche - Special Edition 'La Mémoire et l'Oubli', July-August 2001"
| | "By definition, writing is a type of memory. It preserves traces and defies death. In the wake of WWII, a number of French writers, including Georges Perec, Patrick Modiano, Claude Simon and Nathalie Sarraute, renewed this ancestral art. Their literature reveals to what point human memory is plunder, treachery and shameless theft." |

Because the Lebanese, as a whole, have not defined yet their community personal identity, and that, since the building of Greater-Lebanon, proclaimed on September 1st, 1920 by the French chief in command in the Levant, General Henri Gouraud. The Lebanese war that broke off in 1975 must have been in a way the violent, absolute, irrational but also logical expression of this search for an identity." |

Yet in both cases the memory of concepts is partially maintained, whereas there are no more individual recollections. Does this imply independent memories? " |

This modernity must be defined in a specifical context which is the Beirut town in relation ton the internal dynamic forces of the country. If this reconstruction appears to be necessary and indispensable. It brings out a number of problems particularly concerning the preservation of the heritage. Can't one build accordingly to the new technologies without breaking from the Lebanese traditions and the city's memory?

| | "For a long after the end of the Lebanese civil war, the memory of the war was tabooed and repressed in the public sphere in Lebanon. This thesis examines the nature of the emergent collective memory of the war. The first part theorizes collective memory in general and the dynamics of social memory in post-war Lebanon in particular. The latter part of the thesis examines two examples of public memory of the war, namely two films on the war and the public apologies of former LF militiaman Assa'ad Shaftari." |

| | Precarious peacebuilding:<br>Post-war Lebanon, 1990-2005 | | Are Knudsen |
| | This paper analyses Lebanon's post-war period (1990-2005) from the perspective of peacebuilding and argues that the country's precarious attempts at implementing a peacebuilding agenda must be sought internally in the country's inability to confront its war-time past, regionally in its subservience to Syria and internationally in its strategic irrelevance in the post-cold war period. |

This topic is motivated by three reasons: 1) the longstanding Lebanese debate on the definition of Lebanese identity, 2) the fact that many researchers argue that Lebanese identity, even in a migratory context, is still structured around denominational affiliation, and 3) the need to broaden the scope of French Canadian historiography by focussing on migratory and ethnic phenomena." |

| | "In this age of memorials, it is customary to think of architecture as a means of commemoration. Indeed, as a synthetic physical act, architecture has long been a common and prevalent means of giving a commemorative presence to memory. However, by giving physicality to memory, architecture offers simultaneously its means of annihilation, thus becoming an ideal means of achieving its antithesis, oblivion. And just like memory, a finite selective process, architecture inescapably embodies an act of exclusion as well. As such architecture emerges as an ideal vehicle for oblivion as much as it is for memory." |
