| Summary: | Located in an environment totally structured by tribes, Tinghir experienced, after independence, an unprecedented demographic explosion, followed by an accelerated urban sprawl and a universal diffusion of material and cultural goods from the four corners of the globe, and this, to its hinterland. In these dynamics, the inhabitants of Tinghir are constantly reinventing their practices of urban space, and the growing feeling of belonging to a common city unites them more and more around the same values and the same symbols, while weakening the reference to the lineage system in social relations. However, tribal affiliations and ethnic origins, even hidden behind the fact of being Tinghirian, resurface from time to time and maintain the invisible borders between the community territories of the city. |
