Persistenze o Rimozioni VI
Mediterranean sea: a fluid territory
Università della Calabria, Cosenza, 9-10 June 2016
Deadline: 14 February 2016
Last 27 November 2015 was the 30th anniversary of Fernand Braudel’s death.
“Persistenze o Rimozioni” would like to celebrate Braudel pioneering work and the subject
of his masterpiece - La Méditérranée et le Monde méditerranéen à l’époque de Philippe II
(I ed.1949) - the Mediterranean sea.
The Mediterranean sea flows through three continent (Europe, Asia, Africa); it is a territory
in which North/South, East/West converge and collide. It is a wideness of dialogues and
wars, pacific coexistences and conquests, imperialisms and nationalisms.

Above all it is a “fluid territory” in which social, economic, political and cultural dynamics
are continually moving. This dynamism is also presented in different ways, depending on
the historical and methodological perspective.
To better analyze all these aspects, "Persistenze o Rimozioni" launched a call for papers
for its VI annual conference: "Mediterranean sea: a fluid territory”. The conference is part
of a multi-years project of studies on contemporary age and aims to analyze
Mediterranean sea with an interdisciplinary approach among History, Literature, Political
Science and Economics. As every year, “Persistenze o Rimozioni” wants to help young
researchers in presenting themselves and their studies and offer them important occasions
of meeting and discussing with older generations of researchers and professors.
We would like especially to encourage PhD students and researchers at early stage of
their careers to submit proposals addressing:
1) Political area: The Mediterranean Sea is a territory for political projects of
Mediterranean Union; we invites papers that examine the strategic role played in
the nation and international alliances and organizations (such as Parliamentary
Assembly of the Union for the Mediterranean founded in 2005 and l’Union pour la
Méditérrannée launched in Paris in 2008).
2) Economic area: We are open to proposal that examine any of these aspect:
mobility, migrations, transport, tourism and territory as economic resource; energy,
environmental supportability and natural resources, cities and harbors.
3) Historical area:
Mediterranean Sea as historical scenario; historiographic
patterns.
4) Cultural area: Convergences and collisions among cultures; Mediterranean sea as
cultural melting pot, territory for a common culture.
5) Literary area: Textual representation and elaboration – both narrative and poetic –
of Mediterranean sea and Mediterranean countries; relations between authors,
publications (books and reviews) and sea, with particular regards to languages and
dialects as vehicles of culture and identities.
