- Abstract
- (en) The history of the city of Algiers and its urbanism is often approached and studied as a sequence of material productions building the city, through several extensions and overlaps. This timeline sequence often denies the existing chains of cause and effect between urban forms in one hand, and who produces them in the other hand. The approach using the concept of “story” that we present in this paper allows us to cover and to include all heterogeneous elements of the urban fact. It synthesizes them all in a coherent system. Moreover, it gives more thickness to the timeline by re-dividing it following several stories. This paper starts introducing a theoretical work, which aims to build up methodological tools in order to study urban stories. It is based on Paul Ricoeur’s book Temps et récits. In a second phase, it proposes an application of some of those tools to the concrete study case of Algiers’ post independence urban production.
