Sport and Identity in Tunisia Daisuke Sato Sports and Identity in Tunisia Paper : Cultural Anthropology Sport and Identity in Tunisia Daisuke Sato Japan Overseas Cooperative Association B-101 2-33-7 Tsukushino, Machida, Tokyo 194-0001 Japan [email protected] [Received August 31, 2004 ; Accepted September 24, 2004] Under the rule of the Cheikhs, before Tunisia became a French colony, such traditional sports as El Koura and El’Efga took place at the village community level, but after the introduction of modern sports in accordance with French colonial policy, their existence was threatened. On the other hand, modern sports, particularly football, spread rapidly as the only opportunity for the colonized Tunisians to oppose the western European nations, especially France. As a result of the introduction of modern sports, national organizations were born, crossing regional boundaries; this contributed to a consciousness of being "Tunisian," that is, to the formation of national identity. It can even be thought that it influenced the later independence movement. After independence from France, the regime of President Habib Bourguiba introduced policies of modernization and centralization, as well as a modern educational system, in the process of forming a national state, and traditional sports, which included many magical elements, were thrown out as being pre-modern and backward, along with religious cultures peculiar to Tunisia, such as worship of the saints and Sufism. Modern sports, however, came to be positioned as having the function of forming national identity in the international sphere: that is, forming a national identity in awareness of the nation as a part of the international community. However, in 1987, under the new regime of President Ben Ali, a new policy of creating national identity was created, rooted in a unique traditional culture modeled on a pre-Islamic culture.

  • History of Colonization of Tunisia
    1 History of Colonization of Tunisia INTRODUCTION History of the mankind is a rather interesting matter for study. Every nation in the world has its own history, and at the same time all nations are interconnected in the history in this or that way. All the events of the world’s history are recurrent and people of today should study history so that not to repeat the mistakes of past generations and avoid the difficulties they experienced. History of every nation in the world possesses its own tragic and glorious episodes. History is the combination of political, economic, social, military and religious events and processes that form the direction in which this or that nation develops. In this paper, the history of one country of African continent will be considered – the history of Tunisia and of colonization of this country by various nations (Balout vol. 1). The history of Tunisia is very complicated and filled with tragic moments of decline and glorious moments of power and influence. The epochs of Berber nation, Phoenician establishment of the first city-states on the territory of the modern Tunisia, Punic Wars and Roman conquest, Vandals, Byzantines and Ottomans, French colonization and, finally, the Independence of the country – all these stages of development of Tunisia are very important and influential for the shaping of the modern country (Balout vol. 1). The current paper will focus on all the most significant periods of the history of Tunisia with special attention paid to the political, social and military processes that affected the territory of the modern Tunisia in this or that way.

  • A Cultural Trip to Tunisia Tuesday 3 to Friday 13 March 2020 with Khun Bilaibhan Sampatisiri Honorary Advisor to the Siam Society Council
    CY-2019-067 A SIAM SOCIETY STUDY TRIP A Cultural Trip to Tunisia Tuesday 3 to Friday 13 March 2020 With Khun Bilaibhan Sampatisiri Honorary Advisor to the Siam Society Council The Republic of Tunisia is a country in North Africa, on the Mediterranean Sea. It is the northernmost country in Africa and at almost 165,000 square kilometres in area, the smallest country in the Maghreb region of North Africa. As of 2019, its population is estimated just under 11.7 million. Its name is derived from its capital city, Tunis, located on the country’s northeast coast. Northern Tunisia has a typical Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winter. The mountains of the north-west occasionally get snow. Annual rainfall ranges from 1,000 mm in the north down to 150 mm in the south, although some Saharan area go for years without rain. From October to beginning of December is ideal for touring. At the beginning of recorded history, Tunisia was inhabited by Berber tribes. Its coast was settled by Phoenicians starting as early as the 10th century BC. The city of Carthage was founded in the 9th century BC by Phoenician and Cypriot settlers. After the series of wars with Greek city-states of Sicily in the 5th century BC, Carthage rose to power and eventually became the dominant civilisation in the Western Mediterranean. A Carthaginian invasion of Italy led by Hannibal during the Second Punic War, one of a series of wars with Rome, nearly crippled the rise of Roman power. After the Battle in 149 BC, Carthage was conquered by Rome, the region became one of the main granaries of Rome and was fully Latinised.

  • 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.
