Art, Power and Knowledge: Claiming Public Space in Tunisia (original) (raw)
Tripp, Charles(2016) 'Art, Power and Knowledge: Claiming Public Space in Tunisia.'Middle East Law and Governance, 9 (2-3). pp. 250-274.
Abstract
Charles Tripp argues that through artistic interventions – graffiti, visual street art, performances, demonstrations, banners, slogans – citizens have appropriated the public sphere. Despite the monitoring of political dissent through persuasion or coercion, an activist public has created highly visible public spaces, assisted and encouraged by citizen artists. They have generated debates and have helped to give substance to competing visions of the republic.
