  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.

  The practice of graffiti in the Maghrebi context - voices of the underground

  Les voix de l’underground

  Des temps reculés à nos jours, les inscriptions murales, les gravures rupestres et les graffiti (tags, street art) ne cessent d’interpeller nos regards et nos certitudes. La pérennité de ces pratiques scripturales et leur saillance à travers l’espace et le temps suscitent des interrogations et présentent un intérêt particulier pour les sciences sociales et humaines. Si la pratique du graffiti contemporain demeure incomprise et insaisissable dans le contexte maghrébin, c’est parce qu’elle n’a pas été suffisamment problématisée du point de vue des procédés et stratégies qu’elle convoque et des contenus qu’elle mobilise dans l’espace public, d’où l’intérêt et l’urgence de l’examiner en profondeur. C’est ce à quoi s’attellera ce numéro thématique de Insaniyat visant à apporter un éclairage sur ce phénomène langagier qui constitue l’une des expressions effectives des métamorphoses linguistiques, culturelles et socio-spatiales au Maghreb.
