“…Most of the criticism came from the Dustūr and the religious elite of the country, primarily Zaytūna shuyūkh. The general context of rejection was further stressed by their need to divert popular opinion from their wrongs, as they had partaken in the 30th International Eucharistic Congress in Carthage (Alexandropoulos 2009), something that many Tunisians saw as a betrayal of their Muslim leaders to the national cause. The congress, which took place in May, coincided with the centenary anniversary of the colonization of Algeria and was under the auspices of the French government of Tunisia.…”

Often regarded as the father of Tunisian feminist thought, Tahar Haddad was a Muslim reformer during the French protectorate in Tunisia. His most famous work, Imraʾatunā fī-l-sharīʿa wa-l-mujtamaʿ, published in 1930, encompasses most of his thoughts on gender roles and greatly impacted his society, to the point that it is rumored to have been one of the sources of inspiration for the drafting of the Tunisian Law of Personal Status (1956). The book was the first of its kind to express the need for inheritance rights to be the same regardless of the receiver's gender, as well as one of the first ones to push for the abolition of polygyny and repudiation. It was also notable for stating the importance of national education, including physical education, and rallying to make it extensible to female students. As such, Haddad received much criticism, particularly from conservatives who thought he had deviated from the Islamic law, despite the book making continuous references to the Qurʾan and Sunna. As much as it was a revolutionary work, some of the author's points of view still perpetuate certain gender stereotypes and norms regarding women. This paper aims to revisit the book, pointing out its key elements in the fight for gender equality as well as its strengths and weaknesses.

“…French imperialism in North Africa when the Eucharistic Congress was held in Carthage, drawing thousands of Catholics from around the world for a week of mass religious and patriotic celebrations which drew the ire of many Tunisian nationalists including Habib Bourguiba (Alexandropoulos 2009). 1968 marks the definitive end of this period.…”

Since Tunisian national independence in 1956, the Catholic Church has maintained its presence in Tunisia despite the demographic collapse of Catholics in the country and despite the Church's historic ties to the French state under the protectorate regime. The Church in Tunisia succeeded in maintaining a position within the country after independence by transforming itself from a triumphalist colonial institution into what can be termed a transliminal institution. Situated in a liminal position with regards to both the Tunisian and the Catholic worlds, the Church in Tunisia after independence continued to exist through a constant process of translation and mediation between these two spaces. This article examines the historical development of this situation and the key dimensions which constitute the institutional Church's transliminality.

En premier lieu, cette étude analysera la structure argumentative que le ‘ālim (érudit) tunisien, Muḥammad al-Ṭāhir b. ‘Āshūr (1879-1973), avait mobilisé pour justifier la commémoration du Mawlid. Face au silence des sources scripturaires, le Coran et la Sunna, b. ‘Āshūr s’est efforcé de démontrer la licéité de cette commémoration d’une part en interprétant certains versets ; de l’autre en reprenant pour son compte les avis jurisprudentiels (fatwā-s) de ses prédécesseurs pour déduire enfin qu’il s’agirait d’une « bonne voie » (maslak hasan). Nous analyserons, dans la seconde partie, la dimension politique de cette démonstration en rapport avec le pouvoir beylical en Tunisie depuis le xviiie siècle.
