    Mediterranean Studies and the Remaking of Pre-Modern Europe1

    Journal of Early Modern History 15 (2011) 385-412 brill.nl/jemh Mediterranean Studies and the Remaking of Pre-modern Europe1 John A. Marino University of California, San Diego Abstract Why have we begun to study the Mediterranean again and what new perspectives have opened up our renewed understanding? This review article surveys recent research in a number of disciplines to ask three questions about Mediterranean Studies today: What is the object of study? What methodologies can be used to study it? And what it all means? The general problem of the object of study in Mediterranean Studies in its ecological, eco- nomic, social, political, and cultural dimensions is introduced in a summary of the works of Pergrine Horden and Nicholas Purcell, Michael McCormick, Chris Wickham, and David Abulafia. Recent methodologies suggested by Peter Burke, Christian Bromberger, Ottomanists, art historians, and literary scholars emphasize both the macro-historical and micro-historical level in order to understand both the local and the regional, material cul- ture and beliefs, mentalities, and social practices as well as its internal dynamics and exter- nal relations. The end results point to three conclusions: the relationship between structures and mechanisms of change internally and interactions externally, comparisons with “other Mediterraneans” outside the Mediterranean, and to connections with the Atlantic World in the remaking of premodern Europe then and now. Keywords Mediterranean, Braudel, Annales school, Purcell, Horden, McCormick, Wickham, Abulafia, Venice, Toledo, Ottoman Empire 1 This paper was originally given as part of a plenary panel, “Trends in Mediterranean Studies,” at the Renaissance Society of America annual meeting in Venice, April 9, 2010.

    Sermig Profile SERMIG, A STORY OF OPENNESS The story of Sermig is about dialogue, hospitality and faith. It is made of many different faces and ideals that, for the first time ever, allowed the transformation of a military arsenal into a place of peace. It all started in 1964 in Turin, thanks to Ernesto Olivero, his wife Maria and a group of young people committed to defeat hunger in the world. The did not have many means, but their dream of peace, solidarity and justice was strong and it showed them the right path to follow. On the 2nd of August 1983, they entered for the first time the old military arsenal of Turin. It was a factory of weapons during the Italian Risorgimento and the Two World Wars. Now a ruin, but beyond the first impression, the force of a prophecy stirring within it became stronger. A thousand people, both young and adults, came from all Italy and abroad to help refurbish it with their voluntary work and goodwill. Everyone brought to the Arsenal just what they had: materials, professionalism, money. Today, the Arsenal of Peace of Turin is the heart of a solidarity network spreading all over the world. It supports more than 3400 development projects in all the five continents: from Lebanon to Brazil, from Iraq to Rwanda, from Georgia to Bangladesh. It has organised more than 70 peacekeeping missions in the most terrible war zones and, for this reason, many personalities, including Mother Teresa, nominated Ernesto Olivero for the Nobel Peace Prize. Sermig wants to help both nearby and far away people: homeless people, women in need and whoever cannot manage to find a place for the night, food and health care.

    PS/SO 380 IMMIGRATION in the MEDITERRANEAN BASIN IES Abroad Nice

    PS/SO 380 IMMIGRATION IN THE MEDITERRANEAN BASIN IES Abroad Nice DESCRIPTION: The Mediterranean basin has historically been a space for human mobility and cultural exchange. Immigration is changing Europe rapidly with large numbers of migrants and asylum‐seekers arriving from the East and South. Beside “old immigration countries” such as Germany, France and UK, in recent decades Mediterranean EU countries like Spain, Italy and Greece have become the initial, and sometimes the final, goal of migrants attempting to enter Europe. International migration is a complex phenomenon giving rise to moral dilemmas and controversial social and political issues, such as cultural and religious pluralism, national identity and citizenship rights. This course will look at immigration in the Mediterranean basin from an interdisciplinary perspective with readings from history, economics, sociology, demography, political science and literature. A variety of theoretical approaches, empirical findings and a selection of case‐studies will be considered. The course is broadly divided into three sections. The first part will focus on the history and the geography of human mobility across the Mediterranean. Myths and realities in the representations of the Mediterranean as a “bridge” connecting people and cultures will be discussed, in addition to a field trip to Marseille. The second part will focus on the “borderization” of the Mediterranean and the current developments in European policies with respect to regular and illegal immigration. The focus here will be on the externalization of EU borders on the southern shore of the Mediterranean where both concepts of “fortress Europe” and “shelter Europe” are to be contrasted with EU’s responses to asylum migrations and borderland security challenges.
