Adab is a concept situated at the heart of Arabic and Islamic
civilisation. Adab is etiquette, ethics, and literature. It is also
a creative synthesis, a relationship within a configuration. What
became of it, towards modernity ? The question of the "civilising
process" (Norbert Elias) helps us reflect on this story. During the
modern period, maintaining one's identity while entering into what
was termed "civilisation" (al-tamaddun) soon became a leitmotiv. A
debate on what was or what should be culture, ethics, and norms in
Middle Eastern societies accompanied this evolution. The resilient
notion of adab has been in competition with the Salafist focus on
mores (akhlaq). Still, humanism, poetry, and transgression are
constants in the history of adab. Contributors: Francesca Bellino,
