الجنون والمجانين في مدينة تونس خلال النصف الثاني من القرن التاسع عشر

Abstract EN

We sought to present through this work a set of additions.

we show the importance of the "madmen" category in the city of Tunis during the second half of the 19th century.

al-Majnoun was subjected to a group of symbolic violence by the population, as he was stigmatized with many labels and many stereotypes were formed around him.

society was not satisfied with that, as the insane were not subjected to treatment, but to isolation, confinement and exclusion, and the treatment and treatment in the Tunisian state did not keep pace with medical progress in Europe during the same historical period.

on the other hand, the insane person furnished the space of Tunis with many funny and violent behaviors, and in both cases he recorded his presence, which the family, society and the authority tried to hide.
