By situating incidents in particular processes and conflicts, the case studies seek to counter notions of a violent Middle East in order to foster a new understanding of violence beyond that of a meaningless and destructive social and political act. Contributions explore processes sparked by the transition from empires -- Ottoman and Qajar, but also European -- to the formation of nation states, and the resulting changes in cityscapes throughout the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNora Lafi \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eis researcher at Zentrum Moderner Orient and is a historian of the Ottoman Empire with a focus on Urban Studies.
