Contributions to Edited Volume on
“Moroccan Peregrinations: Construction, Transmission and Circulation of Islamic
Knowledge (18th-21st Centuries)”
This volume explores Islamic
knowledge in a context of movement to and from Morocco with its particular
environment, captured in its geography and history as a producer, a receiver
and an exporter of knowledge. The analysis of processes which are often
simultaneous, of institutionalization and circulation are questioned from the
study of literature and documents to ethnographic observations including the
decryption of virtual contents.
