Synopsis
This book offers a critical look at the territory that today forms the state of Israel and the lasting historical role of agriculture, which sprang from the Neolithic revolution in the Middle East, had for a wide range of aspects of human social and ecological development. Topics considered include agriculture’s role in territorial appropriation and domestication, in structuring the development of urbanization, in creating a national homeland narrative for the Jewish state, and in changing the climate. Israel Lessons explores in particular the three major types of Israeli agricultural development: vernacular Palestinian/Bedouin, socialist utopian Kibbutz/Moshav, and contemporary high-tech desert farming. Presenting findings through text matched to striking images, graphics, and maps, and featuring proposals for architectural intervetions, it demonstrates how facts and narratives related to agriculture and the climate crisis are intertwined with geopolitics and sectarian ideals of an earthly paradise.

Seller: AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Der Nahe Osten ist Geburtsstätte der neolithischen Revolution und auch die Wiege moderner Zivilisation. Soziale und technische Phänomene wie beispielsweise klassenbasierte Gesellschaften, Städte und monumentale Architekturen, die Schrift, das Rad sowie insbesondere Ackerbau und künstliche Bewässerung haben hier ihren Ursprung. Das jüngste Forschungsprojekt des Laboratoire Bâle (laba) der EPFL ist dem Gebiet des heutigen Israel und der palästinensischen Autonomiegebiete gewidmet. Die kritische Studie untersucht die Rolle der Landwirtschaft in der Strukturierung urbaner Entwicklungen, der Schaffung eines nationalen Narrativs und in der Veränderung des Klimas. Im Fokus stehen dabei drei Typen agrarischer Nahrungsmittelproduktion: die ursprüngliche der eingeborenen Beduinenbevölkerung, die moderne sozialistischutopisch geprägte Kibbuz-Wirtschaft sowie die gegenwärtige hoch technologisierte Agrarwirtschaft in der Wüste. Das englischsprachige Buch präsentiert die Ergebnisse der Studie in konzisen Texten, informativen Grafiken, Karten und Fotos. Es zeigt zudem auf, wie mit der Landwirtschaft verknüpfte Fakten und Erzählungen sowie der Klimawandel auf das Engste verflochten sind mit Geopolitik und religiösen Idealen des gelobten Landes.
