Dépassant l'approche limitée à une simple étude de l'imaginaire mythique et merveilleux du détroit de Gibraltar, lieu des confins du « monde habité », ce livre explore de nouvelles sources et croise les regards qui se sont posés sur cet espace : regards des mythes, revisités par les textes médiévaux arabes et latins ; regards de savants, voyageurs et marins ; regards aussi des pouvoirs qui ont tour à tour contrôlé, ou tenté de le faire, ce seuil essentiel entre Méditerranée et Atlantique, entre Europe et Afrique, entre monde chrétien et monde musulman. Il est proposé ici une étude diachronique de l'image que renvoie le détroit de Gibraltar depuis la présence romaine jusqu'à la fin de la Reconquista. Más allá del imaginario mítico asociado al Estrecho de Gibraltar, este libro propone un estudio diacrónico, desde la presencia romana hasta el final de la Reconquista, de la imagen que refleja este umbral esencial entre el Mediterráneo y el Atlántico, entre Europa y África, entre el mundo cristiano y el mundo musulmán.

The Strait of Gibraltar is a ubiquitous symbol of the supposed dividing line between Europe and the Muslim world. This book re-evaluates that perception with reference to new archival evidence about the links between the Gharb region of Morocco and Gibraltar and the establishment of the Moroccan consulate there, focusing on the period around 1750-1850. It shows the development of a complex set of political, social and economic relationships across the strait that connected Morocco to Gibraltar and beyond. In the light of this evidence, the book challenges prevailing arguments that emphasise the isolationist impulses of the Moroccan sultanate and Moroccan society, and highlights the extent to which European expansion in this period was shaped by local responses.

Spanning the Strait: Studies in Unity in the Western Mediterranean brings together a multidisciplinary collection of essays that examines the deep connections that bound together the Iberian Peninsula and the Maghrib in the medieval and early modern periods. Six articles on topics ranging from the eighth-century slave trade to sixteenth-century apocalypticism trace and analyze movement, mutual influence and patterns shared in the face of political, religious, and cultural difference. By transcending traditional disciplinary and temporal divisions, this collection of essays highlights the long history of contact and exchange that united the two sides of the Strait of Gibraltar. A comprehensive introduction by the editors contextualizes the articles within the last half-century of scholarship and salient contemporary trends. Contributors are Adam Gaiser, Linda G. Jones, Hussein Fancy, S.J. Pearce, David Coleman, and Marya T. Green-Mercado.
