  The Public Sphere and the Politics of Space

  With the gradual rise of socio-economic and political challenges facing the Middle East and North African (MENA) and the Sub-Saharan regions, the “public space” and the “public sphere” have come to the forefront of scholarly debates and research by scholars in various fields of studies. The concept of the “public sphere” was conceived as part of the interplay of first a physical locale that imply constant social relationships in a concrete public domain (public space) and second the constellations of socio-economic factors contributing to the rise of political debates (public sphere). The aim of this conference is to probe social, economic, political problems via the theoretical lenses of the public sphere, the different aspects of spatial configurations, the politics of space, as well as the counter-public or parallel discursive arenas as conceived by Nancy Fraser.

  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.

  Challenges of Cultural Diversity in Europe and the Arab World

  The era of globalization arises numerous challenges to accept plurality, differences and management of cultural diversity, especially, with the return of the ingredient of culture to the field of political action in a context in which culture has a central role in the post Cold War world. Globalization has tried to widespread certain values, practices and cultural expressions, whereas in numerous Arab and Western countries, refuge has been sought in cultural singularity and identity. Therefore, cultural factors have had their impact in the design of national, regional and international policies.
