The Mediterranean is far more than a sea. For millennia, it has created space for contact and cross-fertilization between the many cultures which have met, negotiated, battled, traded and shared knowledge and experiences on its waters and along its shores. This volume contains a collection of essays by international scholars of history, art and culture investigating interactions between diverse societies across the Mediterranean world from the Medieval period to the present. 2019-01-01T00:00:00Z http://elea.unisa.it/xmlui/handle/10556/9046 On Migrant Routes in the Mediterranean Truda, Giovanna; Spurk, Jan A new idea of space goes beyond State borders, allowing the observation in all directions. It seems natural to think that, when one can look around, the observation always tends towards wealthier and richer societies, and this can explain the increase in mobility of a multitude of people who move from poor countries, where economic resources are scarcer, to the high-growth ones. This book is an attempt to reflect – through the analysis of several aspects related to migration flows – on the current idea of Europe and the Mediterranean, and on the way to live it. Reflecting on what happens in the Mediterranean can therefore constitute the driving force to overcome the impasse of the migrant emergency that Europe cannot solve. Thus, while some chapters strive to formulate more general categories, others specifically deal with concrete realities. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z http://elea.unisa.it/xmlui/handle/10556/9045 The Mediterranean: the Sea of Law Vesto, Aurora; Marchese, Alberto The book provides an interesting and new analysis about the legal systems of the Mediterranean, addressing several topics: personal and cultural identity, with contributions about the relation between identity, religious freedom and civil order, so difficult in the present moment, and the dignity of transsexual people under Italian law; the unaccompanied foreign minors, a very difficult challenge posed today by the migratory phenomena, which is examined under several points of view, including the medical aspects and the health care; the international organized crime, with special attention to its effects in the civil law regulations. The aim of the book, therefore, it is not to provide an exhaustive knowledge of the legal frameworks of the Mediterranean, but to examine some little known aspects and provide a new and fresh contribution to research. 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z http://elea.unisa.it/xmlui/handle/10556/3728 People and goods on the move Çaykent, Özlem; Zavagno, Luca The present volume aims at offering a less detailed but chronologically broader survey of the agents of the above mentioned matrix of communications across the Mediterranean basin from the early Medieval to the Modern era. Rather than indulging upon the supposed and catastrophic mid-seventh century caesura (as advocated by Pirenne), or moving from the second trade cycle (as described by Wickham) this collection of articles stresses the continuities in the dynamic connectivity of the Mediterranean. By observing the faces of those who continuously build these networks and goods which travel across, the reader will enact Penelope and her loom where endless threads and knots were made and destroyed in a fortnight. In a similar vein (loosely in tune with a Braudelian longue durée), the volume offers an interdisciplinary and encompassing digest over the manifold actors of this incessant weaving and undoing of communications across different periods of Mediterranean history. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z
