Homes - We Make Them, They Make Us | Nisrine El Lababidi

UNSEEN DUBAI | Author Nisrine El Lababidi is an acclaimed interior designer and in this book, she invites readers into some of the most charming and striking homes in the city. Through oil barrels masquerading as coffee tables to Matisse-inspired feature walls, the book journeys into the lives of those who are calling this city home. Dubai has become a hub for creative dreamers and risk takers. Who they are and how they live is inevitably reflected in the house they live in and the homes they create for themselves. By exploring the homes of architects, film-makers, ballet dancers and journalists, Homes celebrates an extraordinary city, its vibrant residents, and the glorious satisfaction of a deliciously cosy armchair.

Everyday Life In The Spectacular City Making Home In Dubai | Rana Almutawa

Everyday Life in the Spectacular City is a groundbreaking urban ethnography that reveals how middle-class citizens and longtime residents of Dubai interact with the city's so-called superficial spaces to create meaningful social lives. Rana AlMutawa shows that inhabitants adapt themselves to top-down development projects, from big malls to megaprojects. These structures serve residents' evolving social needs, transforming Dubai's spectacular spaces into personally important cultural sites. These practices are significant because they expand our understanding of agency as not only subversive but also adaptive. Through extensive fieldwork, AlMutawa, herself an Emirati native to Dubai, finds a more nuanced story of belonging. This story does not seek to uncover the "real" city that lies beneath the veneer of the spectacle, but rather to demonstrate that social meanings and forms of belonging take place within the spectacle itself. By offering an alternative to the discourse of authenticit…
