Les liens entre ce que l’on nomme les Lumières occidentales et le monde arabo-musulman ont donné lieu à plusieurs études ces dernières années. Les analyses sur la relation entre ces deux entités culturelles ont souvent été confinées à une réflexion sur l’orientalisme et sur le regard porté par les écrivains occidentaux sur le monde musulman.

The idea that books can cure is very popular in contemporary Western culture, where workshops of “bibliotherapy” and books aiming at strengthening mental health blossom. This new attitude is a turning point in the conception of literature’s role since 1950. The new set of images and practices connect literature not only to the aesthetic sphere, but also to everyday life.

Moreover, traveler’s accounts can also be fitted in the category of self-narrative according to some historians.

In this period, the Eastern Mediterranean witnessed greater linguistic transformations that affected the entire regions and cultures, including their popular and elite levels. The purpose of the sessions is to examine whether this situation led to consolidating associative links between certain languages and particular types, methods, and styles of writing regarded as their “proper” or “preferred” mediums; and to what extent modern scholars can detect these links today, studying epigraphy, manuscripts, and writing systems.
