Representations et symbolique de la guerre et de la paix dans le monde arabe

Book excerpt: The studies published in this book focus on representations and symbolics of war and peace in the Arab World over the long term. The authors are specialists in various disciplines (sociology, anthropology, history, linguistic and literary studies). They pay particular attention to the language of their corpus, from the founding texts, Koran or hadiths, through the historian's classical sources (texts by authors of the classical Arab heritage), up to contemporary productions, from militant texts to works of fiction.
