The Maghreb Amazigh research project proposes to address a changing and moving Maghrebian space through the lens of the Berber paradigm and through a critical reflection of the state of knowledge in the field of Berber studies. This complex field of study, doubly articulated to the militant and institutional fields of the Maghrebian societies, knows a deep renewal but it remains nevertheless marginalized because of its lack of visibility due to its scattering. Long marked by linguistics and ethnology, it is slowly opening up to other disciplinary approaches (history, anthropology, economics, political science...) and themes (collective mobilizations; local citizenship; resource management and environment; identity issues; tangible and intangible heritage...)
