Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2005.
While other concepts central to social science such as gender, the nation and the individual have been destabilized by recent theoretical investigation, capitalism continues to retain its unity as a prime mover in history, marked by internal coherence and an essence of economic rationality. This dissertation undermines this understanding of capitalism through a study of the transformation of property relations in the Beirut city center from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. Each chapter addresses capitalism from a different angle and contributes to its own discrete literature. Chapter Two draws upon urban planning literature to examine the separation of culture and capital through the debates surrounding the appropriate institutions and urbanism to be deployed in the post-conflict reconstruction of Beirut. Chapter Three draws upon urban theory and traces the history of property relations in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Through this history, the chapter questions the power of capitalism to transform property relations and progressively separate its own sphere---the sphere of economic rationality---from those of culture or politics. Similarly, Chapter Four critically examines the understanding of the global economy as a realm of economic rationality. Utilizing literature on the political economy of civil conflict, I examine the development of transnational linkages between the banking sector and global economic forces during the Lebanese civil war. Chapter Five then returns to the reconstruction of the city after the war to show how these transnational networks of individuals, families and institutions, working within and alongside a variety of states, have come to dominate both the reconstruction of the city and the economic opportunities of the average Lebanese in the name of free market economics. In so doing, it undermines arguments concerning the inevitability of globalization and its basis in purely economic logics. The final chapter draws these diverse studies together and calls for a reevaluation of resistance in the face of transnational networks of economic and political power and privilege.
