Un compte rendu de cet ouvrage, rédigé par Jo Van Steenbergen, a été publié dans la Revue des mondes musulmans et de la Méditerranée :This edited volume brings together research that was conducted in the context of the programme “Le Bilād al-Šām face aux mondes extérieurs : Croisés et Mongols. Réactions, adaptations, échanges (xie-xive siècle)”. Between 2008 and 2013 Denise Aigle, editor of this volume, pursued this research programme in close collaboration with the Institut français du Proche-Orient and with various other research groups and institutions in France and in Lebanon (UMR 8167 “Orient et Méditerranée”, laboratoire Islam médiéval, Paris ; UMR 5195 “Groupe de recherche et d’étude sur la Méditerranée et le Moyen-Orient, Maison de l’Orient et de la Méditerranée”, Lyon ; EA 4207 “Centre de recherche et d’études sur les pays de Méditerranée au Moyen Âge”, Montpellier ; université Saint-Joseph, Centre Louis Pouzet d’étude des civilisations anciennes et médiévales, Beyrouth). Papers presented at a sort of kick-off colloquium that was organised at the Ifpo in Damascus in December 2008 (“Le Bilād al-Šām face aux mondes extérieurs. La perception de l’Autre et la représentation du souverain”, organised by Denise Aigle and Katia Zakharia) make up a substantial part of the volume’s contributions. As the titles of this programme and colloquium as well as of this publication suggest, the broad question around which this research was organised concerned the impact on local communities in the Bilād al-Šām of, and their responses to, the pluriform confrontations with political, social, cultural and economic outsiders —Latin Christian crusaders and Mongol world conquerors in particular— throughout the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth centuries CE. The twenty contributions that have been published in the volume Le Bilad al-Šām face aux mondes extérieurs demonstrate above all how this broad research question invited a great variety of intriguing approaches, opened up a wide host of textual sources in many relevant occidental and oriental languages for all kinds of new and old questions, and generated diverse novel perspectives on the social and cultural histories of medieval Syrian communities and of their perceptions of, and in, their wider world.....http://remmm.revues.org/9398Pour rappel cet ouvrage est disponible en Accès Ouvert à cette adresse : http://books.openedition.org/ifpo/3884
