Rincer les dents incisives dans la chair
Disséquer les rames qui s'infiltrent dans les plaies
Ordonner les fils empêtrés de nos blessures'

Collective
memory of the civil war in Lebanon thesis
Thesis for the Master of Studies; St. Antony's College, University
of Oxford, June 2002.
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 Ass'aad Shaftari. |

De
l'Histoire comme moteur des idéologies du suicide essay
The author develops the subject relative to the role and the practice
of History in underdeveloped countries first, then in Lebanon -within
the country's acknowledged geographical frontiers-: insisting on
the fact that, since the beginning of the Lebanese war, thousands
of analysis were conducted in order to diagnose the causes for the
misfortune of the Lebanese people and to solve the crisis by proposing
social, military, political, constitutional and even geographical
solutions. But that none of these advocated solutions were efficient. |
Pour
un renouvellement de l'enseignement de l'Histoire au Liban essay
The author describes History in Lebanon, as well as in underdeveloped
countries, as a subject that isn't well controlled by its specialists
and is very often and easily hawked because of its irresistible emotional
connotation. It is often used to make a number of 'cuts' and to hide
certain aspects of facts, accordingly to the environing ideology,
not to teach and reconstitute the past. He concludes by proposing
that school History manuals in Lebanon should be 'unified'. |
Notre
mémoire collective: quelle pédagogie? essay
History is a branch of 'Human Sciences', it is then relative to the
character-structure and the cultural and ideological environment
of the Historian and of his audience. Considering this, any new discovery
might be 'taken' and integrated in the on-going ideology system,
then scientific objectiveness would only be a camouflaged form of
submission to this system. |
