變化中的突尼斯: 空間、性別與文化的交錯

2011年阿拉伯之春重構突尼斯政治、經濟、社會文化。革命後的表達自由形塑年輕人街頭政治的日常與不同空間的社會實踐。年輕人因高失業率，無所事事的日常生活形塑出不同區域café的等待與嫉妒文化。café形塑突尼斯的社會秩序，是等待也是組織動員網絡的激進空間。年輕人在這些空間裡透過音樂、舞蹈等藝術創作活動成為與國家對話的社會實踐。突尼斯年輕人，無論是在café或是在街頭抗爭，無論是在解放或聖潔空間的釋放與崇拜，或是穿梭在街頭的現代獨立女性，在不同空間下呈現傳統與現代、世俗與宗教交錯的複雜與矛盾生活樣貌。皆展現年輕人共同面對經濟危機帶來的動盪與不安，以及對政權的失望與反抗。透過空間細微的變化，刻劃出年輕人面對社會壓迫與邊緣的日常。而持續不斷的抗爭，皆源於年輕人心中渴望且迫切實現的突尼斯之夢。

The Arab Spring of 2011 reconstructed Tunisian politics, economy, and social culture. The new freedom of expression that the revolution brought has shaped youth street politics and social practice in different spaces. Due to the high unemployment rate and the resulting idleness in the daily lives of young people, a feeling of waiting and a culture of envy has arisen among the cafes in the city of Tunis’s wealthier and poorer districts. Tunis’s cafes shape the city’s social order and serve as both waiting and radical spaces for young people to organize and mobilize within their networks. In these spaces, music, dance, and other creative activities are engaged in dialogue with the state. Tunisian youth present themselves in traditional and modern, secular and religious manners that entangle with their complex and contradictory ways of life. Young people experience the turmoil and anxiety brought about by the economic crisis, as well as disappointment in and rebellion against the regime. Subtle changes in space reflect the daily lives of young people who face social oppression and marginalization. This constant struggle stems from the youth’s burning desire to realize their Tunisian Dream.
