Abstract:
Problematic of the Maghreb and middle east press diffusion in Algeria between 1920 and 1954: the situation in Tlemcen and its surroundings. The completion of the colonial occupation of Algeria, passed by the isolation of its "Muslim" people from the Arab and Muslim world. Therefore, legal and administrative provisions were taken by Paris and the General colonial Government in Algiers, in order to strengthen the prohibition of the movement of ideas, especially those conveyed by the Maghreb and Middle East press, the subject of this paper. Despite the measures taken, a great number of newspapers entered the colony (Algeria). This is what reveals the exploitation of colonial archives, supported by oral testimony. However, if the number of titles introduced remains significant in quantitative terms, the number of copies per title remains very symbolic. By what ways were introduced these titles banned to the colony? Where were they published? What was the attitude of the colonial administration toward this matter? How was the reading made under intellectual and cultural surveillance? Tlemcen and its region between 1920 and 1954 provide us some of the answers.
