This Phd research is situated on the intersection of art and political theory. Yakoub investigates the revolutionary context of Tunisia from a postcolonial perspective. He proposes to question the revolutionary performative and imaginary processes of destruction, diversion and re-construction through a critical aesthetic lens.
