Maghreb Public Spaces

The international conference held from March 15 to 17, 2011, in Oran—the proceedings of which form the basis of this publication—was entitled: Public Spaces in the Maghreb: At the Crossroads of Religion, Civil Society, Media, and ICTs. It was organized by two Maghrebi institutions : the National Research Center in Social and Cultural Anthropology (CRASC) on the Algerian side, and the DIRASET-Maghrebi Studies Laboratory on the Tunisian side. Furthermore, this event benefited from the support of German organizations, namely the GIZ and the Hanns Seidel Foundation, whom we thank for their valuable contributions.
