The MOOC is a deliverable of the WG1, axe of research C, focused on the study of the role of Islamic heritage in Europe in the process of construction of figures of alterity and the perception of otherness. The MOOC will look at the mobility of people, knowledge, artifacts and visual elements between Islamic and Christian Europe, focusing on the consequences (cultural, artistic, scientific, etc.) of such mobility for the host countries. It will also look at how the material culture has been perceived or not as part of the European common heritage and how it has been integral part of complex constructions of otherness and identity.
