Savants, artistes, médiateurs : approches et connaissances du Maghreb
Que sait-on du Maghreb en Europe aujourd’hui ? À partir d’une question très générale sur la connaissance empirique, lettrée et sensible qu’ont les Européens du Maghreb, sur sa place dans les imaginaires contemporains et sur la situation de la recherche savante qui le prend comme objet – ou comme cadre d’étude, on cherchera à comprendre les modes et les processus de constitution de ces savoirs et les œuvres qui les ont fixés.
