  Urban and architectural identities in Mediterranean cities

  Identités urbaines et architecturales dans les villes méditerranéennes

  The architectural and urban diversity characterising mediterranean city is inseparable from their identity. It seems clear at that this diversity and multiplicity of different identities shoud be considered as one of the greatest cultural and human values. The coexistence of forms in time and space, the blending of urban and architectural cultures, influences and contaminations, even the contrast and and contradictions of identity that are revealed in the mediterranean urban  territory reflect the stratification of the city in its pragmatics implications and its identity meanings. Today, in a context of a competition and attractiveness betwen territories, several mediterranean cities are going through a period of profound changes. Faced with these transformations, the reference to "identity territories" (Troin, 2004) and the ability of the city to build an identity and speared it among the population are called into question.

  Urban experience in Algeria - new research perspectives

  Ce dossier a comme ambition d’impulser et de rendre visible les recherches sur les villes algériennes en privilégiant les contributions qui explorent de nouveaux champs et apportent des savoirs actualisés sur la question urbaine. Cela passe par certains déplacements de l’analyse et un renouvellement des problématiques. Alors que la question des processus de fabrication de la ville a longtemps été centrale, l’analyse des pratiques urbaines en constitue un renouvellement en même temps qu’un prolongement qu’il s’agit de déployer en mettant en perspective différentes dimensions. Approches novatrices ou celles qui, tout en reprenant les approches plus classiques les renouvellent, auront leur place dans ce dossier qui se veut ouvert aux différents champs disciplinaires des sciences humaines et sociales.
