<br><br>
The Mediterranean is a site and subject of translation, cross-juncture,
interaction, and invention. It is a locus of late antiquity, a field for
the transport of texts and ideas within and between medieval and early
modern Europe, Southwest Asia, and Africa, a site of colonial conquest
and cultural imposition in modern colonialism, and a fraught sphere for
survival and articulation in the present. Mediterranean studies has
emerged as an important field of inquiry in diverse
disciplines-literature, philosophy, anthropology, history,
theater-because it offers a counterpoint to the fraught Area Studies and
civilizational paradigms, and because it engages a diverse set of events
and legacies across national, linguistic, and disciplinary borders. Our
speakers will present talks addressing recent developments within
Mediterranean studies.<br><br>
