This dissertation documents the life-worlds of those left behind in Tunisia’s democratic transition by tracking the precarious labor of smuggling by youth in the Western-Central interior. For unemployed youth living in the shadow of underdevelopment, smuggling offers a rare avenue of insertion into productive life, where the border serves as a natural resource for generating value through arbitrage. Disappointed by the revolution’s implicit promise of structural change, many young Tunisians now use these routes of economic survival to join up with jihadist militias abroad. Through 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork in Kasserine, an impoverished province on Tunisia’s Algerian frontier, I examine how smuggling practice generates a landscape of ambivalent belonging to the nation, a “Shadow Zone” that elicits desire for the state, as well as the material means to evade it. I show how cross-border movement refracts the meaning of social justice for local actors, including petty smugglers and informal laborers who work the border economy, Tunisian families whose sons have been recruited to militias in Libya, Syria, and Iraq, and unemployed youth and civil society groups who militate for equitable development. iv Table of Contents Abstract ......................................................................................................................................... iv List of Figures ............................................................................................................................... iv Acknowledgements ..................................................................................................................... vi 1.

    Artical Name : Vision from Within Artical Subject : Where is Tunisia Heading? Publish Date: 21/01/2018 Auther Name: Kamal Ben Younis Subject : Tunisian authorities managed to deal with the protests, which erupted in a number of cities and poor neighborhoods in the capital, after ³government announced an increase in value-added tax and social contributions in the budget.´However, the calm situation may be temporary if the authorities do not succeed in finding radical solutions to the problems, which angered youths. Those youth for seven years now have been threatening of a ³new revolution´that topples the new political elite whom they accuse of failing to achieve the main goals of their revolution which developed in January 2011.So where is Tunisia heading seven years after President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was toppled? Will the parties which triggered these new confrontations with the security forces succeed in launching what they call ³a second revolution´"Or will the opposite happen? Will the current political regime witness any substantial changes especially that it has been internationally supported for several reasons including that many western countries bet on the success of the ³Tunisian exception in transitioning towards democracy?´Separation from YouthsSome of those who oppose the government, mainly the opposition leaders of leftist, nationalist and Baathist groups that are involved in the Popular Front, which is led by Hamma Hammami and Ziad Lakhdhar, think that the increased protests against the governments, which have governed since January 2011, is proof that they cannot achieve the revolution¶s aims regarding jobs, dignity. That is because the government cannot liberate its measures from the International Monetary Fund¶s directions and from the agendas of financial lobbies that are involved in corruption, trafficking and imposing a capitalist policy.

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

The 30‐page paper that I wrote was unique enough, we thought, that I should make it a long‐term project worthy to turn in as my Masters Thesis. This thesis, which is more than a year in the making, partly owes its completion to the wonderful encouragement and assistance of Professor Hershberg. Professor Katrin Schultheiss was of great help to me as well. I could always count on her support and relevant criticism of early drafts I turned in to her. Always there for office hours, Professor Schultheiss has greatly impacted the quality of my historical analysis and academic writing. My fellow graduate students are a constant reminder of the intense academic environment in the history department. Thanks to their support inside and outside of the classroom, they made graduate school stimulating, fun, and worthwhile. Thank you to the Eisenhower Foundation for funding my research trip to the Eisenhower Library in Abilene, Kansas for one freezing, but productive, week.

  • Quelques Aspects Problematiques Dans La Transcription Des Toponymes Tunisiens
    QUELQUES ASPECTS PROBLEMATIQUES DANS LA TRANSCRIPTION DES TOPONYMES TUNISIENS Mohsen DHIEB Professeur de géographie (cartographie) Laboratoire SYFACTE FLSH de Sfax TUNISIE [email protected] Introduction Quelle que soit le pays ou la langue d’usage, la transcription toponymique des noms de lieux géographiques sur un atlas ou un autre document cartographique en particulier ou tout autre document d’une façon générale pose problème notamment dans des pays où il n’y a pas de tradition ou de « politique » toponymique. Il en est de même pour les contrées « ouvertes » à l’extérieur et par conséquent ayant subi ou subissant encore les influences linguistiques étrangères ou alors dans des régions caractérisées par la complexité de leur situation linguistique. C’est particulièrement le cas de la Tunisie, pays méditerranéen bien « ancré » dans l’histoire, mais aussi bien ouvert à l’étranger et subissant les soubresauts de la mondialisation, et manquant par ailleurs cruellement de politique toponymique. Tout ceci malgré l’intérêt que certains acteurs aux profils différents y prêtent depuis peu, intérêt matérialisé, entre autres manifestations scientifiques, par l’organisation de deux rencontres scientifiques par la Commission du GENUING en 2005 et d’une autre août 2008 à Tunis, lors du 35ème Congrès de l’UGI. Aussi, il s’agit dans le cadre de cette présentation générale de la situation de la transcription toponymique en Tunisie, dans un premier temps, de dresser l’état des lieux, de mettre en valeur les principales difficultés rencontrées en manipulant les noms géographiques dans leurs différentes transcriptions dans un second temps. En troisième lieu, il s’agit de proposer à l’officialisation, une liste-type de toponymes (exonymes et endonymes) que l’on est en droit d’avoir par exemple sur une carte générale de Tunisie à moyenne échelle.

  • Nostalgias in Modern Tunisia Dissertation
    Images of the Past: Nostalgias in Modern Tunisia Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David M. Bond, M.A. Graduate Program in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Sabra J. Webber, Advisor Johanna Sellman Philip Armstrong Copyrighted by David Bond 2017 Abstract The construction of stories about identity, origins, history and community is central in the process of national identity formation: to mould a national identity – a sense of unity with others belonging to the same nation – it is necessary to have an understanding of oneself as located in a temporally extended narrative which can be remembered and recalled. Amid the “memory boom” of recent decades, “memory” is used to cover a variety of social practices, sometimes at the expense of the nuance and texture of history and politics. The result can be an elision of the ways in which memories are constructed through acts of manipulation and the play of power. This dissertation examines practices and practitioners of nostalgia in a particular context, that of Tunisia and the Mediterranean region during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Using a variety of historical and ethnographical sources I show how multifaceted nostalgia was a feature of the colonial situation in Tunisia notably in the period after the First World War. In the postcolonial period I explore continuities with the colonial period and the uses of nostalgia as a means of contestation when other possibilities are limited.

I. n" 4 FLORE MARINE DE TUNISIE I : LISTE PRELIMINAIRE DES ALGUES DU GOLFE DE TUNIS par Habib Ben Alaya ( 1 ) Nous avons, depuis trois ans, prospecté les côtes en vue d’établir un inventaire des algues récoltées au chalut, à la drague ou à la main. Certains auteurs ont déjà étudié la flore marine tunisienne mais souvent d’une manière occasionelle soit que leur séjour en Tunisie ait été bref et ne leur ait pas permis d’entreprendre un travail complet soit que les algues n’étaient, dans leur travaux, que des indicateurs biocénotiques. Ces travaux ont été cependant pour nous d’une grande utilité. La direction générale des Travaux Publics, a publié ano­ nymement (1923), une étude des fonds de pêche des côtes tunisiennes, où quelques algues ont été citées. Le Danois (1924 et 1925) signale des posidonies dans le fond S.E. du golfe de Tunis. Feldman (1931) publie une liste de quelques algues ma­ rines en Tunisie et en 1961 étudie particulièrement les algues de la Galite. Molinier et Picard (1954) dans une étude de bionomie marine citent un certain nombre d’espèces caractéristiques des différents biotopes. Dans un travail antérieur nous avons apporté, (Ben Alaya 1969), quelques précisions sur les limites actuelles des prairies à monocotylédones et noté également quelques algues permettant de situer phytosociologiquement ces prairies.
