عَمارة فلاحِيّ فلسطين
يستند هذا الكتاب على أطروحة سعاد العامري 1987 والتي تتناول التنظيم المكاني لمختلف المستويات في فريف فلسطين في أواخر القرن التاسع عشر. يعتمد الكتاب على تحليل مكاني تنازلي من مستوى القرية وصولا لتنظيم الفضاء الداخلي للبيت. يتمحور الكتاب حول دير غسانة ، وهي قرية فلسطينية تقع في المرتفعات الوسطى – الضفة الغربية اليوم. ومن أجل فهم العلاقة الوثيقة بين الفضاء المبني والتنظيم الاجتماعي لمجتمع الفلاحين الذي أنتج هذا الفضاء، يعيد الكتاب بناء الحياة في دير غسانه في مطلع القرن العشرين، حين شكل الفضاء والمجتمع معا وحدة اجتماعية ومكانية واحدة، وعندما كانت القرية ذات طابع بسيط نسبيا ويعيش فيها مجتمع فلاحي يعتمد بشكل رئيسي على الزراعة، وحيث الأساليب التقليدية، بما في ذلك في عمارته، ما زالت سائدة. يدرس الكتاب طبيعة التغيير الذي حدث في الفضاء المبني لدير غسانة في ضوء التحولات الاجتماعية الدرامية في العقود السبعة (1916-1986)
This book builds on Suad Amiry 1987 thesis addressing the spatial organization of the different environmental levels in late 19th century rural Palestine. A descending spatial order of analysis from the settlement level to that of the furniture level is adopted. The built space of Deir Ghassaneh, a Palestinian village located in the central highlands–the West Bank today–is the focus of the book. In order to understand the close correspondence between this built space and the social organisation of the peasant community that produced it, the book reconstructs life in Deir Ghassaneh at the turn of 20th century, at a time when space and society together constituted a single socio‑spatial whole, and when the village was a relatively autarkic, subsistence‑based agrarian community in which traditional modes, including architecture, still prevailed. Then, the book examines the nature of change that took place in the built space of Deir Ghassaneh in light of the dramatic social transformations of the seven decades (1916‑1986).
