In Jerusalem, Israeli and Jordanian militias patrolled a fortified, impassable Green Line from 1948 until 1967. In Nicosia, two walls and a buffer zone have segregated Turkish and Greek Cypriots since 1963. In Belfast, "peaceline" barricades have separated working-class Catholics and Protestants since 1969. In Beirut, civil war from 1974 until 1990 turned a cosmopolitan city into a lethal patchwork of ethnic enclaves. In Mostar, the Croatian and Bosniak communities have occupied two autonomous sectors since 1993. These cities were not destined for partition by their social or political histories. They were partitioned by politicians, citizens, and engineers according to limited information, short-range plans, and often dubious motives. How did it happen? How can it be avoided? Divided Cities explores the logic of violent urban partition along ethnic lines—when it occurs, who supports it, what it costs, and why seemingly healthy cities succumb to it. Planning and conservation experts Jon Calame and Esther Charlesworth offer a warning beacon to a growing class of cities torn apart by ethnic rivals. Field-based investigations in Beirut, Belfast, Jerusalem, Mostar, and Nicosia are coupled with scholarly research to illuminate the history of urban dividing lines, the social impacts of physical partition, and the assorted professional responses to "self-imposed apartheid." Through interviews with people on both sides of a divide—residents, politicians, taxi drivers, built-environment professionals, cultural critics, and journalists—they compare the evolution of each urban partition along with its social impacts. The patterns that emerge support an assertion that division is a gradual, predictable, and avoidable occurrence that ultimately impedes intercommunal cooperation. With the voices of divided-city residents, updated partition maps, and previously unpublished photographs, Divided Cities illuminates the enormous costs of physical segregation.

La lunga notte, 1993 Lunga Notte is a documentation of a live event that took place  in Rimini, dealing with radio links and the crossing of codes  and genres within the electronic space of radio. The project involved two special people: the poets Yehudi Amichai from Israel and Samih al-Qasim from Palestine. From the studio of KOL Israel they worked  together for thefirst time presenting their own texts, in Arab  and Hebrew. Their voices were sent to Rimini, Italy, together with voices and sounds coming from Innsbruck and Cologne. In the sala Ressi in the historical part of Rimini an ensemble - conducted by Roberto Paci Dalò - Performed an amazing piece of music with  the two poets from overseas as soloists. The ensemble used acoustical instruments together with interactive computer systems and data gloves. The quality of the connections varied: there were radio links between Italy and Austria, ISDN from cologne and telephone-links from Jerusalem. The voices of the poets sounded faraway. The audience    experienced the distance, they felt the sea in between, the desert             around.  Ars Acustica International - EBU Selection 1994 EBU-UER 2 x CD http://kunstradio.at/TAKE/CD/ebu_cd.html Tracklist1-1Andrew Yencken–Metamorphoses I24:45 2-1Joseph Celli / Jin Hi Kim–World Soundprint: Pacific25:33 3-1Francisco Felipe–Desolación De La Ciudad10:29 1-2Pauline Oliveros–Poem Of Change10:21 2-2Dimitriy Nikolaev–The Tune15:03 3-2Ilana Zuckerman–Il Dolce Suono13:27 4-2Roberto Paci Dalò–La Lunga Notte31:11
