السياسة التراثية للدولة الوطنية التونسية في مدينة القيروان (1988-1956)‎

الملخص EN

After decades of colonialism, the state worked to complete sovereignty by starting to build political, economic, educational, administrative, military, security and cultural institutions, in order to push society to progress and keep pace with the new requirements for building the national state.

The protection of the architectural and artistic heritage had a place in this direction.

Despite the continued work of heritage institutions dating back to the colonial period, such as the "National Institute of Archeology and Arts," but during the first years of independence there was no heritage policy in the sense circulating today.

However, there was undoubtedly a set of separate steps that contributed to the valuation of the heritage in the city of Kairouan by attaching the city to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1988.

We estimated that this remarkable result was not a mere coincidence, but rather the result of a plan and a process that involved many local, national and international parties at different levels and degrees.
