He always had a smile on his face and encouraging words. As I was finishing my dissertation, I felt slightly overwhelmed by the amount of work that had to be done. One day, I worked almost non-stop from 8 AM to 3 PM. When I emailed him the finished product, he said: “Excellent, bravo, quel tour de force! It ‘ain’t’ a Ph.D. for nothing!” Needless to say, I needed a good laugh and his words brightened my day. Thank you for everything! Even though she is not part of my committee now, I would like to thank Professor Douja Mamelouk who introduced me to Francophone literature and was my biggest fan throughout the years. I can never thank you enough! Professor Corbin Treacy, thank you for having accepted to join our UTK team during this process! I appreciate your advice, patience and your response to my (very) many emails! I would also like to thank Professor Alderman who allowed me to audit one of his Geography classes. His class discussions helped me a lot with my research and I also had the chance to meet his wonderful students who shared information about their own research – thank you, Jordan Brasher! Professor Alcocer, thank you for always being excited about my work and for encouraging me! I enjoyed meeting with you during the first stage of my dissertation project and I appreciate all the good advice I received. Professor Cruz-Camara, thank you for being an amazing Director of Graduate Studies, we are all grateful for everything you do to make our lives easier! Thank you for being part of my committee and for the advice you offered during my prospectus defense and during our initial meeting! I don’t even know how to thank my family for all of their help, patience and love, so I will only say THANK YOU! iii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the novels of Emmanuel Roblès (1914-1995) with a focus on Jeunes saisons and Saison violente and those of Maïssa Bey (1950-present) with an emphasis on Pierre Sang Papier ou Cendre and Bleu blanc vert. My dissertation builds on science and literature to analyze forms of cultural heritage in colonial and postcolonial Algeria. By examining the literary works of Roblès and Bey, I demonstrate that they explore cultural heritage through the lenses of superimposition – a common technique in medicine where new images are placed over an existing image to detect changes. I argue that the superimposition method employed by Roblès and Bey allows for new images of cultural heritage created by child-like narratives to be placed over monolithic images promoted by adult-like narratives. Thus, this superimposition technique complicates oversimplified images of cultural heritage. When addressing cultural heritage, I focus on language, customs and architecture since language allows for customs to be transmitted from generation to generation, and, in turn, customs are influenced by the landscape of a country. While previous scholarly work has studied the topic of cultural heritage in the novels of Bey and Roblès, it has not explored the superimposition method that both authors employ to address the controversy of cultural heritage in Algeria. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION ........................................................................................1 CHAPTER I: ALGERIA AND IMAGES OF CULTURAL HERITAGE 1.1 Colonial Algeria ......................................................................................17 1.2 Postcolonial Algeria ................................................................................ 36 1.3 Cultural Heritage: On Stage and Behind the Scenes .............................. 58 CHAPTER II: EMMANUEL ROBLÈS 2.1 Architecture ............................................................................................. 77 2.2 Customs ................................................................................................... 97 2.3 Language ................................................................................................. 116 CHAPTER III: MAÏSSA BEY 3.1 Architecture ............................................................................................. 140 3.2 Customs ................................................................................................... 163 3.3 Language ................................................................................................. 185 CONCLUSION .............................................................................................. 208 BIBLIOGRAPHY ......................................................................................... 214 VITA .............................................................................................................. 226 1 INTRODUCTION “Where children are, there is the golden age” - Novalis Political ideologies and related notions are loaded concepts requiring explanations in order to be better understood. Racism, heritage, immigration, nationalism, socialism or anarchism - just to name a few - are difficult to define neatly and usually trigger controversy given their complexity and diverse connotations. In his Le racisme expliqué à ma fille1, Moroccan author Tahar Ben Jelloun attempts to clarify such concepts as heritage, slavery, genocide, racism, and anti-Semitism for his ten-year-old daughter. Ben Jelloun has answers, and the child asks questions that will provide clarification and a better understanding of the above-mentioned terms. The words “Explained to My Daughter” present in the title of the book reveal the fact that the adult explains while the child listens to the explanations offered by her father. Following Ben Jelloun’s example, some narratives portray children as the recipients of such explanations, especially when important political concerns are at stake. However, at times, the voices of children release a counter-narrative that questions and renegotiates the adult narrative, allowing for nuances and different perspectives to be added to a story. In his novel, Le Petit Prince2, French writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry focused on the importance of empowering the voices of children by narrating the story of a pilot stranded in the desert and a young boy fallen to earth from an asteroid. The pilot has chosen his career after an unsuccessful attempt, as a child, to convey meaning through his drawings to adults: “Les grandes personnes ne comprennent jamais rien toutes seules, et c’est fatigant, pour les enfants, de toujours et toujours leur donner des explications” (Adults never 1 Racism explained to my daughter 2 The Little Prince 2 understand anything on their own, and it is exhausting for children to constantly offer them explanations). (2) Saint-Exupéry presents us with a fresh perspective in which children are endowed with agency and the ability to explain the world to adults. The writer suggests that the eyes of children have the ability to perceive certain nuances and details that might escape the eyes of the adults; consequently, their perspectives on the world are needed too in order to promote diversity and enrich narratives. From other examples, we can deduce that the voices of children explain experiences, even war-related ones, with a simplicity that can shock the audience: My father died back in Algeria. France killed him. And my mother died in Sakiet- Sidi-Youssef. She died along with my sister. Before, when we were in the West, France came to beat us, burning

This ornamentation defines Emirates the minarets, porches, interior courtyards and patios. The ceramic colors in different tones and arrangements provide spaces with an exceptional quality that highly characterizes this medieval Arab architecture. The polychromic compositions of the ceramic with their intrinsic spatial and aesthetical value remain largely unexplored. This research attempts to explore first, an untapped ancestral know-how or “savoir- faire” and second, to demonstrate that this architectural heritage has a colorful atmosphere, whose evolution is linked to the relationship between shapes, lights, materials and colors as well as its socio-cultural context. The investigation method consists of a survey of colors on ceramics and an analysis of arrangement patterns between colors and geometry (relationship and mixtures of colors) to determine the rhythms, harmonies of figures and background, optical compositions, and finally determine the color language and agreements that result. Color properties, the subtle combination of colors and materials interacting with an exquisite geometry display a decisive influence on the appearance and the ambiance that emerge, providing brightness and light, creating rhythm, motley and fusion in a web of optical effects, filled with symbolism, suitable for the cultural and religious circumstances of the place.

Tunisians figure disproportionately among the foreign jihadist cohort, yet their ubiquity is somewhat confounding. Why Tunisians?

  • Soft Power Or Illusion of Hegemony: the Case of the Turkish Soap Opera “Colonialism”
    International Journal of Communication 7 (2013), 2361-2385 1932–8036/20130005 Soft Power or Illusion of Hegemony: The Case of the Turkish Soap Opera “Colonialism” ZAFER YÖRÜK PANTELIS VATIKIOTIS Izmir University of Economics The article develops two simultaneous arguments; one is theoretical, and the other is analytic. The theoretical argument is based on an assessment of the utility of the concept of “soft power” in comparison to the Gramscian concept of hegemony in understanding the developments in the recent regional power games in the geographical area consisting of Eastern Europe and the near and Middle East. The analytic argument examines the popularity of Turkish soap operas, both among a cross-cultural audience and within the wider context of cultural, economic, and political influences, and in so doing, it points out challenges and limits for Turkey’s regional power. Introduction This article notes the recent boom in the popularity of Turkish soap operas in the Middle East, the Balkans, and some (predominantly “Turkic”) former Soviet Republics in Asia, and examines the discourse of Turkish “soft power” that has developed upon this cultural development. The research focuses here on the analysis of two case studies—of the Middle East and Greece— where the Turkish series are very popular. Both cases are able to contribute different perspectives and explanations of this “cultural penetration” across both sides of a geographical area containing Eastern Europe and the near and Middle East, evaluating Turkey’s “influence” accordingly.1 1 In this regard, the limits of the analysis of the present study are set. Although a general framework of the perception of the Turkish series is provided along both case studies (popularity; aspirations and identifications), further research is needed in order to provide a detailed account of the impact of Turkish series on the related societies.

  • The Case of EU-Tunisian Migration Relations
    Framing and shaping migration governance: the case of EU-Tunisian migration relations By: Luca Lixi A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Social Sciences Department of Politics May 2019 ABSTRACT Migration governance is an organisational process, which means it centres on how organisations make sense of and respond to signals from their environment. This thesis contributes to the study of migration governance by developing comparative insight into how organisationally bound and ‘situated’ migration governance processes in Tunisia and at European Union (EU) level relate to each other and, through their actions and inactions, define the challenges that they face. An abundance of literature is available on the ‘EU’s external migration governance’. However, much of this literature focuses on the policy outputs produced, or the policy outcomes determined, often reaching assumptions on processes of migration governance based on these analyses. As the EU has been the main driver of this policy production, the literature developed is largely Eurocentric, and often fails to give adequate and equal consideration to non-EU state dynamics. To address these issues, the thesis develops an actor-centred analysis of the organisational processes through which migration is conceptualised in the EU and in Tunisia, building from theories that value the importance of framing and sensemaking. Based on forty three interviews with migration governance actors across the two cases and extensive use of the primary and secondary literature, it analyses the dual meaning of migration governance, as actors first need to make sense of migration diagnosing its causes and consequences; and then prognosing a line of work that follows such diagnoses.

  • Journal of Religion & Society
    ISSN 1522-5668 Journal of Religion & Society The Kripke Center Volume 14 (2012) “Critical Islam” Debating/Negotiating Modernity Dilyana Mincheva, Trent University Abstract The intellectual discourse of Muslim elites born and educated in a Western environment gives impetus, sometimes not entirely consciously, to the debate on the critical potential of the public sphere. This new Islamic critique suggests that the Western public spheres lose their cohesive force and political thrust and practically dismantle into fragmented, disparate, and alienated discourses under increasing transnational pressures because they have never questioned their normative secular underpinnings. This new critical insight implies new modes of public participation and occasions a transformation of the traditional notion of public sphere as it has been described by prominent Western theoreticians of modernity (such as Jurgen Habermas). The debate between the classical Western approach to “public sphere” and modernity and the “new” Islamic critique of it (via Tariq Ramadan, Fethi Benslama, and Malek Chebel) is at the center of this paper. “Critical Islam” and the Public Sphere: Defining the Limits of Modernity [1] The relationship between reason embodied in contingent historical practices and reason as a universal category, has never ceased to be an important topic in the critical theories of the various disciplines within philosophy and social science. The discussion on the function of religion intensifies the theoretical debates for a number of reasons. On the one hand, reason has been recognized in the West as an internal purpose of all religions ever since the European Enlightenment’s assertion of the Cartesian rationality and the Kantian autonomy. On the other hand, in the modern age, deeply marked by the complex cultural, economic, and political processes of globalization, secularization, and cultural homogenization, religion appears to be the only refuge of difference, the true sanctuary of values and authenticity.
