| Abstract | |
This thesis investigates the sensory experiences of urban workers in North Africa during the 4th and 7th centuries. It does so by analyzing changes in the urban forms of certain cities during this period, with a focus on Carthage, Sabratha, Leptiminus, and Meninx. Initially, it seeks to understand the sensory composition of the urban landscape investigated through a series of changes that occurred between the 4th and 5th centuries. To do so, it highlights sensory relationships such as movements, sights, presences, sounds, and smells. Secondly, it explores the ways in which subaltern groups could experience urban senses differently. In this sense, it demonstrates how the concept of sensorial habitus can be useful for understanding the formation of sensory perceptions of subaltern groups. Finally, it investigates the work and housing spaces of urban subaltern groups, as defined as the main formers of their sensory habitus during the 4th and 7th centuries. With a broad chronology in this final part, it seeks not only to understand the formation of these sensory dispositions of urban workers but also to analyze how their ways of experiencing urban spaces could both transform and be transformed by the spaces in which they were generated.
