Description du livre
This book is one of the publications of the bilateral Egyptian-Italian
research project “Intercultural Relations between East and
West from the 11th to 21st century” funded by Academy of Scientific
Research and Technology (ASRT) and the National Research
Council (CNR) (2019–2021). The book previews some of
the research presented in the 2nd international webinar organised
by the project in May 2021 entitled “Art, Culture and Trade
as Evidence of Bonds between East and West: 11th to 21st century”.
In that webinar, researchers from Italian, Egyptian, Hungarian
and Belgian Universities highlighted some topics focusing on
intercultural bonds between the Western and the Islamic worlds.
In the book, we have chosen to deal with multi-layer concepts
such as “Identity”, “Otherness”, “Diversity” and “Minorities” declined
in the relationships between East and West.
