The paper aims to analyse the political instances produced by protesters during the uprisings of January 2011 in Tunisia (evolved in the destitution and escape of former president Ben Alì), which provoked the beginning of a process of transition in Tunisia. The main aim is to reconstruct –according to Foucault- the contents of the uprisings and the extended ‘practices of liberation’; to follow and analyse the Constitution-making process, and to evaluate the ‘practices of liberty’ and the public space for freedom. The project aims to rebuild the grassroots instances advanced during the protests (the fights for rights) and their reception (or not reception) firstly in the preparatory works of the commissions deputed to handle the political transition, in second instance, in the new Tunisian Constitution.
Este artículo pretende analizar las instancias políticas producidas por los manifestantes durante las revueltas de enero de 2011 en Túnez (que dieron lugar a la destitución y fuga del antiguo presidente Ben Alì), que dieron lugar a un proceso de transición en Túnez. El objetivo principal es la reconstrucción –según Foucault- del contenido de las revueltas y las extendidas “prácticas de liberación”, para, a continuación, analizar el proceso constituyente, y evaluar las “prácticas de libertad” y el espacio público de libertad. El proyecto pretende reconstruir las instancias populares que se desarrollaron durante las protestas (la lucha por los derechos) y su recepción (o falta de la misma), en primer lugar en las tareas preparatorias de las comisiones designadas para manejar la transición política, y en segunda instancia, la nueva Constitución tunecina.
