Precarious Modernities
Using rich ethnographic detail, Precarious Modernities offers an immersive account of the multiple scales and entangled actors involved in the objectification and instrumentalization of Casablanca's margins as part of ongoing and contingent processes of 'modernization'. Focusing on the everyday lives and spaces of a mythicized community, and its interaction with heritage activists, international development agendas and technocratic planning regimes, the book documents how the depoliticization of the urban margins aids the consolidation of deeply unequal social, spatial, and economic orders. The result is a unique account of the political continuities, security logics, economic ideologies and competing forces that shape the possibilities open to precarious communities in a storied and sprawling metropolis. As marginalized inhabitants develop pragmatic ways of appropriating or resisting powerful agendas, unanticipated and novel forms of political engagement emerge. These signal the revival and reconfiguration of notions of class and open up creative and alternative spatial avenues for participation in an era of increasing authoritarianisms.
Les Usages du patrimoine
Qu'est-ce que le patrimoine dans une société en quête de repères ? Quel passé celle-ci choisit-elle de privilégier dans sa lecture de l'histoire ? Dans le cas de l'Algérie, la notion de patrimoine accompagne un mouvement d'appropriation et d'identification où la sélection des objets et leur conservation jouent un rôle essentiel. L’auteur nous convie à suivre ce mouvement, depuis le premier sentiment à l'origine d'une conscience patrimoniale jusqu’à cette “Algérie latine” qu'exalte le moment du Centenaire, commémorant la conquête à grand renfort de manifestations, tandis que les revendications politiques qu'expriment les nouvelles élites autochtones, formées en majorité à l'école républicaine, présagent le déclin du temps colonial. La question du patrimoine en Algérie a toujours été un facteur d'échanges, de négociations, mais aussi de tensions entre les deux rives de la Méditerranée. Elle nous donne aujourd'hui l'occasion de reconsidérer, en même temps que le passé colonial de la France, le passé français de l'Algérie.
