C a Se Stud Y
This project is funded by the European Union November 2020 Culture in ruins The illegal trade in cultural property Case study: Algeria and Tunisia Julia Stanyard and Rim Dhaouadi Summary This case study forms part of a set of publications on the illegal trade in cultural property across North and West Africa, made up of a research paper and three case studies (on Mali, Nigeria and North Africa). This study is focused on Algeria and Tunisia, which share the same forms of material culture but very different antiquity markets. Attention is given to the development of online markets which have been identified as a key threat to this region’s heritage. Key findings • The large-scale extraction of cultural objects in both countries has its roots in the period of French colonial rule. • During the civil war in Algeria in the 1990s, trafficking in cultural heritage was allegedly linked to insurgent anti-government groups among others. • In Tunisia, the presidential family and the political elite reportedly dominated the country’s trade in archaeological objects and controlled the illegal markets. • The modern-day trade in North African cultural property is an interlinked regional criminal economy in which objects are smuggled between Tunisia and Algeria as well as internationally. • State officials and representatives of cultural institutions are implicated in the Algerian and Tunisian antiquities markets in a range of different capacities, both as passive facilitators and active participants. • There is evidence that some architects and real estate entrepreneurs are connected to CASE STUDY CASE trafficking networks. Introduction The region is a palimpsest of ancient material,7 much of which remains unexplored and unexcavated by Cultural heritage in North Africa has come under fire archaeologists. -

ZELIN Tunisia should really open its embassy in Raqqa, not Damascus. That’s where its people are. —ABU KHALED, AN ISLAMIC STATE SPY1 THE PAST FEW YEARS have seen rising interest in foreign fighting as a general phenomenon and in fighters joining jihadist groups in particular. Tunisians figure disproportionately among the foreign jihadist cohort, yet their ubiquity is somewhat confounding. Why Tunisians? This study aims to bring clarity to this question by examining Tunisia’s foreign fighter networks mobilized to Syria and Iraq since 2011, when insurgencies shook those two countries amid the broader Arab Spring uprisings. ©2018 THE WASHINGTON INSTITUTE FOR NEAR EAST POLICY.

(pages 59-64) TEXTE DE FAOUZI MAHFOUDH SAMIR BACCOUCH BECHIR YAZIDI TUNIS NOVEMBRE 2004 (Retrieved on October 23, 2008, from http://www.iwmi.cgiar.org/assessment/FILES/word/ProjectDocuments/Merguellil/Histoire%20eau%20Kairouan.pdf ) 6- PROPAGATION OF THE KAIROUAN MODEL We saw through the preceding developments that a particular kind of circular cistern was developed in Kairouan and its zone of influence as far as the northern borders and more precisely those with the Proconsulaire . This type had been identified as Aghlabide. Regarding them, Solignac has written: “On this subject, one can pose the question of the origin of this type, of which the basins of Dahmani seem to have been among the first applications. Research in Persian, Arabic, Syrian, Egyptian and Byzantine literature and iconography, has been made and did not provide any frame of comparison. It thus indicates, probably, a new and original process … a conclusion therefore is essential, that it is indeed a Moslem technique and that it is specifically African” 77 . It is now well established that the circular basins are not specifically African. The work of Saad Al-Rashid on the pilgrimage route between Kûfa and Mecca, named Darb Zubaydah, revealed several tanks similar to those which had been believed to be typically African 78 . Among the best known examples, one quotes those of Birkat Ath Thulaymah (site n°6), Birkat Al Rashidiya (site n° 10), Birkatt Tuzzi and Birkat Uraynah (site n° 25 et° 26), Dlay' ash Shaqaq (site n°31) and Birkat Al - Kharabah (site n° 38). -

I Found Tunisia to Be Really "Other"
May 2004 Northern Tunisia Anzie and I spent two weeks in Tunisia in May. Why Tunisia? It was a nostalgia trip. Anzie spent two years as a Peace Corps Volunteer there 30 years ago, 1972-74. She wanted to show me her Tunisia. We saw that plus a lot more, too much to give you all at once. One of my Dad's favorite sayings was: "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." So we have 3 bites: the first bite being northern Tunisia on the Mediterranean. I found Tunisia to be really "other". Since I'd never visited any Arab country besides Mauritania, I had never before experienced the feeling of total immersion in an Arab world. A majority of Tunisians speak French. However, the further you travel away from the major population centers in the North, the more Arab this world becomes. Eventually all the signs, menus and instructions are in Arabic; all of the music you hear is Arabic, as are the dress and the customs. It even becomes more difficult to find someone who speaks French. It's a land of ancient history, contrasts and gentility. There's Carthage, a city that competed with Rome to be the capital of Roman civilization, and lost. Remember Hannibal and the elephants? There's Djerba, the island made famous by Ulysses as the Land of the Lotus Eaters. We find evidence of more recent history in the rusting hulks of German tanks used by Rommel's forces in WWII. They resemble the corpses of dinosaurs rotting in the relentless desert sun. -
Colonization, and Post-Colonization
MAJDI FALEH Massachusetts Institute of Technology Reconstructing Tunisian Architectural Identity in the Context of ‘Ottomanization’, Colonization, and Post-Colonization Abstract Keywords Architectural This article discusses how layers of hinterlands were historically recreated /urban history within the city of Tunis through destruction and reconstruction. Invisible destruction historical, political, and architectural layers can be reconstructed to reflect how reconstruction the marginalization of Tunis and the erasure of its architectural identity under of heritage colonization prevailed. The Medina of Tunis was appreciated and revisited at Medina times, but marginalized, ignored and devalued in other instances. Its destruction historical and marginalization were imminent before and after Tunisia’s independence. marginalization Several historical and political factors came into play and helped to protect the Medina. This research examines the contemporary eras of destruction or ‘near- destruction’ that the Medina has faced in the modern age. It argues that these challenges, even if they attempted to harm this settlement’s urban fabric, also strengthened its architectural image. This paper will be structured around three historical periods and will primarily tease out different instances of destruction and reconstruction in Tunis and the impact different vanquishers or rulers, had on its urban fabric. These historical eras include late Ottoman-Husainid (1830 – 1882), French colonization (1882 – 1956) and post-independence period of 1956. This research surveys the existing literature and material archives of the three periods. It examines key architectural examples and urban interventions from within the Medina to understand how, despite the processes of destruction or ‘near-destruction’, this organic structure reshaped its identity beyond the hinterlands and how its confines predefined urban core. -
Attractions) with Respect to What Is Lacking, and What the Tourist Desires
b- Editions Kahia Tunis - Grafica Roma published by national office of tourism and societe tunisienne de banque a study of the existing and pc 4 ltential structure of tourism foreword Tourism in Tunisia is growing and has become both an important source of foreign exchange for the economy and source of employment for many towns and villages. The importance of foreign exchange and the potential of tourism has caused the Tunisian Government to devote a great deal of effort toward attracting an increasing number of visitors. It is believed that this industry, as it presently exists, and with development anticipated in the future, constitutes an excellent investment opportunity for American and foreign businessmen. Before further investments are made to accommodate additional tourists, it is essential that the potential market be examined to determine from what geographical area the tourists ori- ginate, their possible mode of transport, why they visit a particular area, what they spend, how long they stay, when they come, and how many visit the country. Once the pattern of the tourist market is known, interested investors can evaluate in detail, the region's resources (attractions) with respect to what is lacking, and what the tourist desires. When this determination is made, the process of creating new facilities should begin. The tourist resources of Tunisia, as described in this report, consist of the beauty of the landscape, the monuments of historic and cultural interest, and the existence of towns that are both attractive and able to furnish facilities for recreation, shopping, etc., while providing the necessary physical elements, viz., water, communications, power, etc., which are basic requirements essential to support hotels and related facilities. -
