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.
