Abstract
The accounts of Moroccan embassies, particularly those of the 17th and 18th centuries, reveal a complex and inextricable discourse. They remain imbued with religious, intellectual and social references and clearly express an experience of univocal otherness, but do not hide the traveler’s amazement - or his fear – about the achievement of the other, at the scientific and technological levels. We will try to explore succinctly what Ibn’Utmân’s description of some Spanish cultural institutions was like. It should be remembered, however, that this is a protocol visit. We will limit ourselves to two examples, that of the theatre and that of the museum, in order to identify the ambassador’s representations through this delineation of space and to highlight the characteristics of this discourse governed by several constraints, the most important of which are the concern for reception and identity.
