THEMES

 

​

The Conference is open to contributions that address the great questions concerning the Mediterranean, the cultures and the societies developed on its shores.

​

Abstracts and papers can address either individual subjects, understood as case study, or general interpretations, as long as they propose original and innovative analysis.

​

More specifically, we aim to develop a reflection on the following topics related to the Mediterranean as a defining context:

 

• Europe and the Mediterranean

• History, cultures and heritage

• Knowledge and education processes

• Migrations and interculturality

• Political trends

• Mediterranean diet and well-being

• Tourism and leisure

• Identity, body and sexuality

• Art and literature

• Other topics

​
