Abstract EN:

This research intends to demonstrate the dynamics of Tunisian appropriation of the Internet through the so-called "Publinets" which are structures of public access to Internet facilities. The case of Tunisia is considered in this research in his Arabic and Islamic dimensions. Ln fact, the arab-islamic sphere presents a particularly complex ,context of "graft" of Internet due to political, social and cultural constraints. However, Internet arises rush and "fascination" among the populations. The network portrays itself like a means of self-affirmation, existence and "exteriorisation". But, Tunisia as well as other arab-islamic countries are not the only to expect much from the Internet and to learn about the disadvantages of the worldly network. The dream of developing countries to realise a technological advance by joining to the society of information nourishes a technological imagination developed largely since the independences. Between dream and reality, Internet ends-up to play a mythical role in the mind of one another.
