Tunus Medina Çarşılarının Mimari Mekanlarının Resistatif Özellikleri Üzerine Bir İrdeleme

Geleneksel kentlerin ayrılmaz bir parçası olan çarşılar, kent yapılaşmasının çeşitli zaman dilimlerindeki mimari özelliklerini yansıtan, aynı zamanda ticaret aktivitelerinin yanısıra kent içi iletişimin gerçekleştiği mekanlar bütünüdür. Çeşitli mekansal deneyimler aracılığıyla kent belleğinin kazındığı geleneksel çarşıların kültürel süreklilikleri, günümüzde kentlerin hızlı mekansal değişimleri karşısında tehdit altındadır. Bu çalışma, Dünya Kültür Mirası olan Tunus Medina çarşılarının küreselleşme karşısındaki direnişlerinin önemini ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Kimlik, miras ve kolektif belleğin üçlü ilişkisinden ortaya çıkan kavramsal bir kültürel süreklilik modeli ortaya konmuş ve bu modeli desteklemek üzere bir alan çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuçta, Tunus Medina geleneksel çarşıları, kapitalist ticaret karşısında, kültürel sürekliliğini korumasına yardımcı olan çeşitli resistatif özelliklerini halen devam ettirebilmektedir.

Resistive Traits of the Tunisian Medina Bazaars’ Architectural Spaces in the Globalized World

In ancient times, bazaars were an integral part of the city life; bifurcating from the city structure and reflecting each period of time’sarchitectural characteristics. It is also said that they are the source of 20 communications and trade activities. However, due to the quickchanges in the cities’ spatial configurations that we are living in, these traditional spaces started to run a risk of possible cultural continuityalteration. But, despite the disturbing contradiction which is affecting their traditional allure, they still reflect an undying identity. They arestill talking about the engraved cultural memory thro ugh several architectural traits and spatial experiences. This paper aims to highlightthe significance of the 25 Medina of Tunis bazaars’ resistance against globalization. The present study case analysis lead to a conceptualframing of cultural continuity’s model being a tripartite relation between identity, heritage and collective memory. Through this research,it had been concluded that several resistance traits witness that the Medina of Tunis is still showing a cultural continuity able to counterthe market capitalization.
