Conference organized by organized by Tatiana Victoroff (University of Strasbourg), Thomas Mohnike (University of Strasbourg), Giuseppina Giuliano (University of Salerno), Yordan Lyutskanov (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences) and Alexander Medvedev (independent researcher). By reservation. Since the 19th century, the Middle Ages have often been made up of myths such as castles, forests, princesses, knights and unicorns, which can encounter at the margins populations living in the desert to the south, decadence or barbarism to the east and the savage Vikings to the north, but the latter act as representatives of the Other, the Stranger. Indeed, these imaginative geographies reflect the European geopolitical and cultural situation of the 19th century, with France and Britain at the center and the rest of Europe at the periphery, or even the margins.
