L’Arabie des mille et un clichés serait à portée © GREY COLOR – d’objectifs. Aux Emirats arabes unis, des émirs arabes se sont unis, il y a quarante ans, pour inventer un pays moderne, et leur souci premier d’alors n’est pas le pittoresque. D’abord construire la Nation : avec les fils des Mosqueé Sheikh Zayed. marins sindbadiens de la côte « indienne » de Fujaïrah, ceux-là qui s’amusent le vendredi des combats de zébus ; avec les enfants du « sommet de la tente » de Ras al-Khaïmah et ceux de Sharjah l’Orientale, les Qawassim lettrés et pieux, d’anciens pirates assagis ; avec les architectes navals d’Ajman, rois du boutre effilé ; avec le peuple des cités perdues d’Umm al-Quwaïn et leur mystérieux culte du dugong barbarouffeur ; avec Dubaï la Délurée, une sorte de « persitude » postmoderne ; et bien sûr les gens de Dhabi, autant dire les patrons du pétrole, fantastiquement riches, paradoxalement les plus raisonnables, des Suisses ou tout comme, désormais tentés par les énergies nouvelles, le design provocateur, la création muséographique. Hier « Grande barrière des perles », « Côte des pirates », « Etats de la Trêve », ces Emirats jouent l’identité et l’altérité en mêlée ouverte sur un terrain de tradi- tions religieuses non négociables, la main tendue vers l’ailleurs. Et doublant la méharée sur fond de dunes éternelles, non moins majes- tueuse, c’est une proces- sion rutilante de Mustang, Murcielago, Cayenne, Phantom, Vogue, California, Virage et autre Panamera, projectiles qui tracent le contour et les ambitions de ce nouveau monde créé sur le très ancien.

    Planning Abu Dhabi: From Arish Village to a Global, Sustainable, Arab Capital City By Alamira Reem Bani Hashim A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Elizabeth S. Macdonald, Chair Professor Michael Southworth Professor Greig Crysler Summer 2015 © Alamira Reem Bani Hashim Abstract Planning Abu Dhabi: From Arish Village to a Global, Sustainable Arab Capital City by Alamira Reem Bani Hashim Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Elizabeth S. Macdonald, Chair The overarching objective of this research project is to explore and document the urban history of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It is organized as a comparative study of urban planning and design processes in Abu Dhabi during three major periods of the city’s development following the discovery of oil: (1) 1960-1966: Sheikh Shakhbut Bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s rule (2) 1966-2004: Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s rule; and (3) 2004-2013: Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s rule. The intention of this study is to go beyond a typical historical narrative of sleepy village-turned-metropolis, to compare and contrast the different visions of each ruler and his approach to development; to investigate the role and influence of a complex network of actors, including planning institutions, architects, developers, construction companies and various government agencies; to examine the emergence and use of comprehensive development plans and the policies and values underlying them; as well as to understand the decision-making processes and design philosophies informing urban planning, in relation to the political and economic context of each period.

  • POLICY PAPER Raising the Profile of Theatre in Ras Al Khaimah
    POLICY PAPER Policy Paper 45 December 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Raising the Profile of Theatre in Ras Al Khaimah has a unique and intriguing history. Yet Theatre in Ras Al Khaimah: studies of theatre in the region tend to focus on Sharjah, Dubai, History and Impact and Abu Dhabi, making little to no mention of performances in this Katherine Hennessey, American University of Kuwait northern emirate. This policy paper surveys landmark performances from the past, highlights the Introduction challenges and potential of presen- day theatre activities, and makes The emirate of Ras Al Khaimah lays claim to some of the earliest productions recommendations for raising the of theatrical performances in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) (Culture in Ras Al profile of theatre in Ras Al Khaimah Khaimah, 2019). Khalifa Al-‘Irayfi, a pioneer of theatre in the Emirates, directed in the future. several landmark productions in Ras Al Khaimah in the late 1970s and early 1980s. In addition to plays he had written himself, Al-‘Irayfi premiered works by Emirati playwrights such as Ibrahim Bu Khalif, and Bahraini author Rashed Al-Mu‘awada (Al-Attar, 2009, p. 83). In subsequent decades, the Ras Al Khaimah National Theatre has continued to support the work of local and regional playwrights and theatre-makers, giving rise to a vibrant range of work, from colorful musicals for children to thought-provoking dramas about class conflict, arranged marriage, and the clash between modernity and tradition in the UAE. Yet these facts are little known outside of Ras Al Khaimah. The emirate makes few appearances in histories of theatre in the region; accounts of contemporary theatre in the UAE focus almost exclusively on performances and theatre activities in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah (see Al-Attar, 2009; Michalak-Pikulska, 2012; Tijani, 2014; Cvitanovich, 2015).
