Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to show how the image of the Other and Elsewhere in Une ambassade au Maroc, in addition to opposing two cultures, reveals the ideological foundations of the author who constructs this image. In his travel story, Charmes describes a culturally and politically decaying country. Thus, he does not only announce the end of Oriental exoticism in Morocco, but also suggests that it needs an urgent intervention of France in order to get out of its stereotypical and secular torpor and backwardness.
