Críticas
"A masterpiece of political analysis." James Ron, Nation; "Eyal Weizman has taken Edward Said's thesis to a new level, generating extraordinary, and at times surreally uncomfortable, conclusions - Weizman's book is of salutary interest." Jay Merrick, Independent; "The power of insight which this work achieves is frankly astonishing." New Humanist; "A passionate jeremiad." John Leonard, Harper's; "The most astonishing book on architecture that I have read in years." Edwin Heathcote, Financial Times. "The author examines the construction of Israel's militarized settlement enterprise from the perspective of urban planning, positing that the displacement of Palestinians has been engineered from a spatial perspective....Weizman is well positioned to carry out such an investigation. He is an Israeli architect and professor of spatial and visual cultures, and director of the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths, University of London. Weizman is also a Princeton Global Scholar. In the decade since his book came out, Weizmann established the Decolonizing Architecture Art Residency (DAAR) in Beit Sahour, Palestine.The establishment of DAAR and its success highlight the tremendous impact Weizmann's work has had since its release. Hollow Land builds upon increasing attentiveness to urban space and architecture in the social sciences, and its release is to an extent responsible for tremendous growth in this field of study." - Alex Shams, Journal of Palestinian Studies
Reseña del editor
In this journey from the deep subterranean spaces of the West Bank and Gaza to their militarized airspace, Eyal Weizman unravels Israel's mechanisms of control and the transformation of the Occupied Territories into an artifice in which all natural and built features function as the instruments of occupation. Weizman identifies the ideas behind this phenomenon and traces their development, from the influence of archaeology on urban planning, Ariel Sharon's reconceptualization of military defense during the 1973 war, through the planning and architecture of the settlements, to the contemporary Israeli discourse and practice of urban warfare and airborne targeted assassinations. In exploring Israel's methods to transform the landscape and the built environment themselves into tools of domination and control, Hollow Land lays bare the political system at the heart of this complex and terrifying project of late-modern colonial occupation.
