Les rapports des acteurs de l’animation socioculturelle avec leur nouvel environnement social en Tunisie

Abstract

This article examines the permanent dialectic between the social dynamics and sociocultural community development in Tunisia. It also accentuates the strong correlation between the practices of sociocultural community development and its institutions as well as the fast changes affecting the Tunisian society. The current social transformation in Tunisia passes by a phase of transition to draw up a new societal project. The latter is asserted by different attitudes according to the actors, so giving multiple directions to the transition process among which some qualify themselves as being positive because they opt for the construction (new constitution, medias and judicial system, elections and transitional justice) and others as being negative aiming towards the demolition and the chaos. The latter are motivated by individual interests and by right and left ideologies (social and political violence, addiction, illegal immigration and individual and organized criminality). Questions that arise then are: how reacted the sector of the sociocultural community development in Tunisia towards this reality and towards these facts? Will the social and cultural activities stay out of this dynamics? How position oneself as one of the strategic actors for the social reconfiguration and the reconstruction of the social links?
