Une architecture de l'exil. Transfert de synagogues et construction identitaire aux États-Unis et en Israël au XXe siècle

Architecture of Exile. Transfer of Synagogues and Self-defining. Construction in the United States and Israel in 20th century. Judaism, religion of the Book and time, for whom exists only the single 'holy place', the Temple of Jerusalem, can seem detached from its buildings of worship. However in banishment, which hit Jewry in 20th century, architectural forms of the synagogue were invested with a self-defining and memory value, as in the United States, the evocation of the shtetl and the missing wooden synagogues. As for the Tunisian Jewry, they rebuild in Israel synagogues and pilgrimages transplanted from the natal country, as though banishment had not come to an end. Beyond Melting pot or mizzug galouyot ('fusion of the exiles'), a transfer of ancestral rituals and architectural forms takes place in the new homeland
