MS ISLA Workshop: Beyond the Mediterranean―Islands and Transmediterranity

Am 21 Oktober findet im Kaufmannsgewölbe (Hinter der Grieb 8) ein Workshop des CITAS-Netzwerkes MS ISLA statt. Das genaue Programm ist auf der Netzwerk-Homepage einsehbar.

Mediterranean islandness is not necessarily geographically fixed and linked to the Mediterranean region, but can be seen as a bundle of characteristics that can also be found in other areas, such as the Caribbean, the Baltic, the Red and the Arabian Sea or the “Atlantic Mediterranean” (Braudel): the Canaries, Madeira and São Tomé. An analytical comparison of those areas to the Mediterranean opens up perspectives on empirical relations between different regions against the background of islandness and often in a post-colonial context.
