Revitalizing the Medina of Tunis As a National Symbol 2008 Vol. 62 · No. 2· 129–141 REVITALIZING THE MEDINA OF TUNIS AS A NATIONAL SYMBOL ANTON ESCHER and MARIANNE SCHEPERS With 2 tables and 2 supplements (II, III) Received 07 May 2007 · Accepted 26 October 2007 Summary: Many Arab old towns in Maghreb and in South West Asia have been gripped by a fundamental and dynamic urban renewal during the 20th century. While the renewal process in most old towns can be attributed to global dynamics, the actors involved in the old town of Tunis are almost exclusively from a local and national level. This paper aims to highlight the processes and strategies for revitalizing the old town of Tunis, to analyse its motives and explain why the renewal proc- ess is spurred by local interest instead of global dynamics. For instance, the medina serves primarily as a national symbol. The symbolic significance of the old town of Tunis in terms of establishing identity coincides with the strategies of a state- funded revitalization process and increasing efforts to showcase the old town. Zusammenfassung: Zahlreiche arabische Altstädte im Maghreb und in Vorderasien wurden im 20. Jahrhundert von einer grundlegenden Dynamik der Erneuerung erfasst. Während in den meisten Altstädten die Erneuerungsprozesse auf eine globale Dynamik zurückzuführen sind, finden sich im Fall der Altstadt von Tunis die Akteure fast ausschließlich auf lokaler und nationaler Ebene. Dieser Artikel zielt darauf ab, die Prozesse und Strategien der Revitalisierung der Altstadt von Tunis aufzuzeigen, ihre Hintergründe zu analysieren und herauszuarbeiten, warum der Erneuerungsprozess einem lokalen Inter- esse statt einer globalen Dynamik geschuldet ist. Dabei steht die Medina als nationales Symbol im Vordergrund. Die sym- bolische Bedeutung der Altstadt von Tunis in Bezug auf die Identitätsbildung geht einher mit den Strategien einer staatlich geförderten Revitalisierung und einer zunehmenden Inszenierung der Altstadt. Keywords: Urban development, urban geography, Arab old town, Maghreb, identity, revitalization, mise-en-scène, Tunisia, medina.

    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.

  • 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.

The Society for AIDS in Africa was established in Kinshasa in October 1990 during the 5th International Conference on AIDS and Associated Cancers in Africa, a precursor to the International Conference on AIDS and STIs in Africa (ICASA). The formation of the Society for AIDS in Africa, which was facilitated by the (W.H.O), put an end to the practice of holding International Conference on AIDS in Africa outside of the African continent.

  • Society Spatial Inscription and Representations of the Places of the Medina of Tunis: Pedagogical Experience
    Society Spatial Inscription and Representations of the Places of the Medina of Tunis: Pedagogical Experience FÉRIDA SELLEM Introduction Through the educational experience of the «seminar of representation», which is an annual event dedicated to students of the first year architecture at ENAU, this article attempts to explain the pedagogical approach taken to approach the societal relationship to the space of the medina of Tunis and to assist the students in the un- derstanding of this articulation by means of their spatial experiences. The purpose of this article is on the genesis of the idea of the seminar «session 2017-2018», its theoretical foun- dations and its spatial projections in terms of pedagog- ical approach adopted and organization of this annual event in the space of the medina. It will present this ped- agogical experience relating to the connection between the place «support of study», presented in terms of spa- tial structure, and the projected educational event. As we believe in the correlation between research work and adopted pedagogical approaches, we tried during this educational experiment to test pedagogical tools relative to our scientific positioning. Our main hypothe- sis postulates that the significant value of the different ARQUITECTONICS 7 ARQUITECTONICS spatial configurations can not be approximated without resorting to the system of construction of the underly- ing meaning. Different questions helped to guide the re- flection before the seminar «session 2017-2018», and determined our educational orientation, we quote them below: • How to accompany the first year architecture student to grasp the importance of the underlying system of meanings and social representations, which is at the genesis of the spatial configuration of the place «study support»? • How to approach pedagogically, a place relative to its spatial structure and relative to a thematic kernel1, that we have detected its relevance at the level of the reading of the different spatial configurations.

    Algerian Journal of Engineering Architecture and Urbanism Vol. 1. Nr. 1 . 2017 Medina of Tunis, ambivalence in its conservation Imen BEN SAID Received: 6 March 2017 • Revised: 15 May2017 • Accepted: 31 May 2017 MEDINA OF TUNIS , AMBIVALENCE IN ITS CONSERVATION Imen BEN SAID Lecturer, researcher, Dr, Arch, Institute of Arts and Crafts of Gafsa, National School of Architecture and Urbanism of Tunis, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The Medina of Tunis is specific by the harmony of its urbanism with traditions, cultures, beliefs and practices. Its conservation has gone through different stages from the colonial period to the present day. This conservation is characterized by ambivalence. We propose to demonstrate this ambivalence by using the historical method based on the literature on the subject to identify the preservation attitude. First, in the colonial period, there was more interest in the antiquities that preceded the Arab conquest. Then, we explore the attitude after independence characterized by political and social disinterest. Then, in the 60s to 80s, we study the expansion of restorations in the Medina and its inscription on the World Heritage List. Then, in the 90s and 2000s, we focus on the limits of the heritage code and the beginning of private sector interest in the Medina. Finally, after the revolution, we present the project of inventory of the built heritage of the Medina and the urban rehabilitations that are not always well integrated by the local population. We are interested to the legislative texts relating to the protection of the Medina, the actors on heritage and the new conservation measures.
