    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.

  • Morpho-Phenological Diversity Among Natural Populations of Medicago Polymorpha of Different Tunisian Ecological Areas
    Vol. 15(25), pp. 1330-1338, 22 June, 2016 DOI: 10.5897/AJB2015.14950 Article Number: A52532059051 ISSN 1684-5315 African Journal of Biotechnology Copyright © 2016 Author(s) retain the copyright of this article http://www.academicjournals.org/AJB Full Length Research Paper Morpho-phenological diversity among natural populations of Medicago polymorpha of different Tunisian ecological areas Mounawer Badri*, Najah Ben Cheikh, Asma Mahjoub and Chedly Abdelly Laboratory of Extremophile Plants, Centre of Biotechnology of Borj Cedria, B.P. 901, Hammam-Lif 2050, Tunisia. Received 27 August, 2015; Accepted 13 January, 2016 Medicago polymorpha is a herbaceous legume that can be a useful pasture plant, in particular, in regions with a Mediterranean climate. The genetic variation in 120 lines of M. polymorpha sampled from five regions in Tunisia was characterized on the basis of 16 morpho-phenological characters. Results from analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that differences among populations and lines existed for all traits, with population explaining the greatest variation for measured traits. The populations of Enfidha and Soliman were the earliest flowering, while those of El Kef, Bulla Regia and Mateur were the latest. El Kef and Mateur exhibited the highest aerial dry weight while the lowest value was found for Soliman. Moderate to lower levels of heritability (H²) were registered for investigated traits. There was no significant association between pairwise population differentiation (QST) and geographical distances. Studied lines were clustered into three groups with 59 for the first group, 34 for the second group, and 27 lines for the third group. The lines of the first two groups showed the largest length of stems while those of the second group had the highest number of leaves.

    Dean of the Diplomatic Corps Dean of the Honorary Consular Corps Excellencies, Members of the Diplomatic Corps Members of the Honorary Consular Corps Special Guests Ladies and Gentlemen Friends, Good Afternoon, A small rudder on a huge ship in the hands of a skilled captain sets a course in the face of the strongest winds. 1. This is the aspiration of the pragmatic Foreign Policy of The Bahamas, and the lessons from the opportunities of interaction in the global arena despite its many challenges. These challenges include, not least, the economic and financial crises with which a majority of States continues to grapple, including The Bahamas, and, the “hot spots” and “hot issues” from which no State is ultimately immune in an interdependent world. This is, therefore, the backdrop of this year for my reflections with you, on the focus, conduct and promulgation of the Foreign Policy of The Bahamas for 2011. I shall also this time attempt to be a bit ambitious and reveal some hopes for the future. Excellencies, Honorary Consuls, Ladies and Gentlemen, Diplomatic and Consular Representation 2 I shall begin, however, with an update on an overview of The Bahamas Diplomatic and Consular Representation. We bid farewell to various members of the resident Diplomatic Corps, namely Ambassadors Guggenheim of Brazil, HU of China, Ponce of Cuba, and, Avant of the United States. We have had the pleasure of welcoming to the Diplomatic Community, Resident Ambassadors Veras, HU and Guzman of Brazil, China and Cuba, respectively. We look forward to the continuation of our productive relationship and the advancement of our mutual interests with these most recent, and with you all.

    Chapitre II. LES CONSTRUCTIONS TERRITORIALES DES PÉRIPHÉRIES Pratiques de mobilités résidentielles et processus de territorialisation : le cas de location-vente AADL SALIHA OUADAH REBRAB Maître assistante, Doctorante en Sociologie urbaine, Département de Sociologie, Université d’Alger [email protected] I. LA POUSSÉE DÉMOGRAPHIQUE GÉNÉRATRICE DE LA CROISSANCE URBAINE 1. Alger par rapport aux autres métropoles régionales Au dernier recensement de 1998, l’agglomération d’Alger, comptait 2 562 428 habitants, se détachant nettement des trois autres métropoles régionales algériennes, Oran, Annaba et Constantine. Alger, capitale régionale et nationale, concentrait près de 18 % de la population urbaine du pays1. Sa fonction de capitale la plaçait au sommet de la pyramide urbaine. Le fait qu’elle jouissait d’une force attractive considérable à l’échelle nationale, et qu’elle regroupait l’essentiel des structures de directions, peut être considéré comme étant à l’origine de ce phénomène d’urbanisation très rapide. Les concepteurs d’Alger des XIXème-XXème siècles n’imaginaient pas que cette ville prévue pour 300 à 400 000 habitants en compterait huit à dix fois plus un peu plus d’un siècle plus tard. Le concept urbanistique européen s’est avéré si étroit que l’expansion des grandes villes comme Alger, Oran ou Constantine, s’est faite en direction des périphéries, au détriment, dans certaines configurations, des superficies agricoles. Pour autant, cette expansion vers la périphérie et l’émergence de banlieues autour des villes, n’ont pas soldé le réel contentieux de la surpopulation dans ces grands centres urbains. L’une des raisons en est la centralisation des sphères de la gestion administrative, avec tout ce que les réseaux de décision impliquent en termes de recherche d’emploi, d’avancement de carrière, bref d’accomplissement personnel et professionnel.

  • 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.
