La médina de Annaba: Histoire, mémoire et identité.

The historic core of Annaba is a medina distinguished by a double advanced deterioration. Its built framework threatens to be ruined; its identical referents slip out. Beyond this stigmatization, carried extremely, this historic core constituted, as everywhere else, the privileged support of construction of collective memories. The present article aims to put the light on places and identical referents which were able to resist the weight of time. It is also, to attract the attention on their mobilization to rehabilitate the urban image of this medina and to restore its identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
