Abstract

The Arab Spring led to a wide variety of social changes to the countries involved. Faced with the difficult choice of how to react to those changes, there are mainly two processes that are taking place in society. These two process are those involving cultural redefinition and those involving cultural purification. Based on Peter Burke’s cultural hibridism theory, we will analyze these two processes in the Tunisian context in particular, studying examples from the past five years.
