Abstract

This conference proceeding (Sessions on "Otherness in Space and Architecture", International Medieval Conference, Leeds, 2017 and 2018) is a compilation of articles written by both young and senior scholars, who are working on the question of the 'self' and the 'other' in Christian, Jewish and Islamic cultures. The articles examine how material, 'oriental' objects and knowledge originating in non-Western communities helped building and strengthening the identity of Iberia's, southern France and northern Italian nobility and its lineages. It is shown how, in the perception of Christians, the public image of Jews and Moslems became constructed as that of adversaries, while their cultural knowledge, at the same time, would be integrated into Christian culture in a paradox manner, in which the 'self' necessarily depends on the 'other' and how visual tensions in art and space have been used as symbols of power.

Une fresque de Giotto rend compte avec nuance de cette ambivalence, que mettent encore plus en évidence deux textes peu connus de Goethe. Au début du XXe siècle, le mythe est réapproprié par la culture juive, notamment dans une série de tableaux saisissants de Chagall. Après la Shoah, le Juif errant est plus que jamais porteur du destin juif-trouvant peut-être son incarnation dans le personnage troublant et obsédant du maître d’Élie Wiesel et d’Emmanuel Lévinas, l’étrange Monsieur Chouchani...
