As Andrew M. Gardner explains in The Fragmentary City, in Qatar and elsewhere on the Arabian Peninsula, nearly nine out of every ten residents are foreign noncitizens. Many of these foreigners reside in the cities that have arisen in Qatar and neighboring states. The book provides an overview of the gulf migration system with its diverse migrant experiences. Gardner focuses on the ways that demography and global mobility have shaped the city of Doha and the urban characteristics of the Arabian Peninsula in general. Building on those migrant experiences, the book turns to the spatial politics of the modern Arabian city, exploring who is placed where in the city and how this social landscape came into historical existence. The author reflects on what we might learn from these cities and the societies that inhabit them.
In The Fragmentary City, Andrew M. Gardner frames the contemporary cities of the Arabian Peninsula not as poor imitations of Western urban modernity, but instead as cities on the frontiers of a global, neoliberal, and increasingly urban future.

Описание: This volume contains the proceedings of the 11th International Conference on RelationalMethodsinComputerScience(RelMiCS11)andthe6thInternational Conference on Applications of Kleene Algebra (AKA 6). The joint conference took place in Doha, Quatar, November 1-5, 2009. Its purpose was to bring - gether researchersfrom various subdisciplines of computer science, mathematics and related ?elds who use the calculus of relations and/or Kleene algebra as methodological and conceptual tools in their work. This conference is the joint continuation of two di?erent strands of meetings. The seminars of the RelMiCS series were held in Schloss Dagstuhl (Germany) in January 1994, Parati (Brazil) in July 1995, Hammamet (Tunisia) in January 1997, Warsaw (Poland) in September 1998, Qu ebec (Canada) in January 2000, and Oisterwijk (The Netherlands) in October 2001. The conference on Appli- tions of Kleene Algebra started as a workshop, also held in Schloss Dagstuhl, in February2001.Tojointhesetwothemesinoneconferencewasmainlymotivated by the substantial common interests and overlap of the two communities. Over the years this has led to fruitful interactions and openened new and intere- ing research directions. Joint meetings have been held in Malente (Germany) in May 2003, in St Catherines (Canada) in February 2005, in Manchester (UK) in August/September 2006 and in Frauenw] orth (Germany) in April 2008. This volume contains 24 contributions by researchersfrom all overthe world.
A cultural study of modern Qatar and how it navigates change and tradition
Qatar, an ambitious country in the Arabian Gulf, grabbed headlines as the first Middle Eastern nation selected to host the FIFA World Cup. As the wealthiest country in the world--and one of the fastest-growing--it is known for its capital, Doha, which boasts a striking, futuristic skyline.
In Changing Qatar, Geoff Harkness takes us beyond the headlines, providing a fresh perspective on modern-day life in the increasingly visible Gulf. Drawing on three years of immersive fieldwork and more than a hundred interviews, he describes a country in transition, one struggling to negotiate the fluid boundaries of culture, tradition, and modernity.
Harkness shows how Qataris reaffirm--and challenge--traditions in many areas of everyday life, from dating and marriage, to clothing and humor, to gender and sports. A cultural study of citizenship in modern Qatar, this book offers an illuminating portrait that cannot be found elsewhere.
