A Captive's Memory. D. Nordman.
An Englishman, Thomas Pellow, abducted by pirates from Salé, spent twenty-three years in Morocco and was mode head of a group of renegades. His rich and exceptional text allows us to grasp a form of spatial memory, based on often precise descriptions of his seventeen expeditions as well as on a sizable number (comparable to that of Arab geographers) of toponyms. Pellow also supplies figures, concerning arms and combat losses, which seem not only plausible, but particularly coherent and important as well. Dates, lastly, are never provided. This three-part memory concerning space, figures, time, and the relationship between space and time, leads us to consider governmental practices (the military, political and administrative characters of travel/movement), Morocco's internal situation, Pellow's position in the political system, and the text's autobiographical nature.
