posted on 2023-06-09, 08:31 authored by Yazid Ben Hounet, Barbara Casciarri, Baudouin Dupret, François Ireton, Alice WilsonAlice WilsonThis article deals with the question of “property” and its transmission. Our approach distances itself from the right-wing culturalist perspectives often adopted in studies of the Muslim world to favour an ethnographical approach examining the ways in which land is acquired and transferred. We show how actors in Algeria and Sudan use local, national and even international laws to claim title to land, especially in cases of collective or public goods. Our focus then shifts to the land appropriation practices currently affecting agricultural and/or peri-urban areas and the conflicts they give rise to. After briefly presenting our “praxelogical” approach and recent work on property in both countries, we describe how protagonists’s strategies, different legal referents, and institutions involved in negotiations on land access and conflict resolution work towards a single goal (providing access to land).
