Recollecting History beyond Borders looks closely at the experience of Moroccan captives, acrobats and dancing women in America throughout various historical periods. It explores the mobility of Moroccans beyond borders and their cultural interactions with the American self and civilization, and offers a broad discussion on the negotiation of the complex dynamics of representation and on the various discursive ramifications of the cultural contacts initiated by ordinary Moroccan travelers.

Les recherches sur les récits de voyage médiévaux connaissent actuellement un renouveau des perspectives envisagées, qui situent ces textes dans des contextes et des problématiques renouvelés. Les dix contributions présentes dans ce volume explorent deux pistes : d’une part les liens entre récits de voyage et géographie, d’autre part la place de ces récits dans le développement d’une quête du « moi » au cours du Moyen Âge. La frontière entre récit viatique et traité de géographie est floue et les définitions de ces deux domaines demeurent poreuses tout au long du Moyen Âge. De la même façon, la place que tient l’écriture du voyage dans la naissance de l’autobiographie est significative et l’histoire de ces deux genres littéraires se croise fréquemment. Ces deux aspects, souvent opposés, rarement rassemblés, ne sont cependant pas antinomiques, mais méritent d’être examinés de façon conjointe. En effet, le voyageur, confronté à des lieux et des expériences nouveaux, qui viennent enrichir les connaissances géographiques, est aussi amené à un retour sur soi et à un questionnement sur son identité.
