ETW - Lit of the Mediterranean

Catalog description

This course explores the topic of migration across the Mediterranean Sea from a cultural point of view. In particular, it focuses on twentieth- and twenty-first century narrative and theory of the multiple dimensions of Mediterranean identities as well as of the symbolic and cultural value of physical displacement. Texts by novelists, poets and essayists from countries such as Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, Italy, Spain, Greece and France will be studied in order to map a modern landscape of encounters among people coming from different cultures of the Mediterranean.
