Finally, beyond the testimony, Abdellah Hammoudi Proposes an unprecedented reflection on the senses of the rituals which progresses towards its ending, the pilgrimage: as an intrigue which progresses towards its denouement, the pilgrimage takes hold of the human lives - of the sense of the time, the political stakes, the rules of commerce. .. - and transforms them.
