L'histoire des logements sociaux en France est intimement liée à celle de l'architecture moderne et de l'urbanisme. L'expérience coloniale marocaine (1912 - 1956) joue un rôle important dans l'évolution de ces derniers; le Maroc leur servant de terrain d'expérimentation pendant l'entre­deux-guerres avant que les concepts développés ne soient transférés en France métropolitaine. L'objet de cette étude est de démontrer comment l'expérience coloniale marocaine eut une grande influence sur les politiques de logements sociaux menées en France métropolitaine entre 1912 et 1980. Le principe de l'histoire croisée permet d'analyser les transferts qui eurent lieu entre les deux pays, comment chacun des pays influencèrent l'évolution des concepts transférés et comment ces transferts influencèrent les politiques nationales. L'étude des villes de Bordeaux en France et de Casablanca au Maroc permet d'étudier l'application de ces politiques nationales au niveau local et d'analyser comment ces différentes politiques modifièrent le visage des deux villes. / The history of social housing in France is strongly connected to those of modern architecture and urbanism. The Moroccan colonial experience (1912- 1956) plays an important role in the evolution of both fields. Morocco served both of them as a field of experimentation during the interwar period, before the developed concepts get transferred back to France. The goal of this study is to demonstrate how the Moroccan colonial experience influences the social housing policies that have been done in-France between 1912 and 1980. The concept of histoire croisée allow to analyze which transfers take place between both countries, how each of both country influence the evolution of the transferred concepts and how these transfers influence the national policies. The study of Bordeaux in France and Casablanca in Morocco allows to analyze how theses national policies get applicate on local level and to study how these differences policies change the face of both cities.

This dissertation examines the representations of Casablanca in Moroccan cinema and their articulation of postcolonial subjectivity since the 1990s. To overcome a deep economic recession and simmering social unrest in the early 1980s, Morocco embarked on a comprehensive programme of structural adjustment policies under the aegis of the International Monetary Fund. Market reforms ushered in novel forms of spatial development and social relations in Moroccan cities over the next decades. In the cultural field, a popular cinema emerged in the early 1990s and has projected the complex structures of everyday life in urban space. The New Urban Cinema (NUC) has anchored national cinema in the everyday life and affective economy of a society in transition. The country’s largest city, Casablanca, is the setting for some of NUC’s most original portrayals of the Moroccan subject under globalisation. Taking space, affect and violence as intertwined sites of film analysis, my research project closely examines the new forms of postcolonial subjectivity that have evolved in Morocco through this cinema. Twenty films are read against the backdrop of neoliberal Casablanca and the social, economic as well as political transformation of Morocco and the world under globalisation. The dissertation combines close textual analysis with a cultural studies perspective, which situates films in their historical contexts of production and reception in Morocco and beyond. Drawing on postcolonial, film and urban studies, my aim is to contribute to interdisciplinary scholarship on cinematic responses to neoliberal globalisation, and to a social history of contemporary Morocco.
