Unframing and Reframing Mediterranean Spaces and Identities
Reconsidering the Mediterranean, appreciating and demarginalizing the peoples and cultures of this vast region, while considering the affinities and differences, is a valuable part of the process of unframing and reframing the concept of the Mediterranean. The authors of this volume follow Franco Cassano’s refusal of a sort of prêt-à-porter reality of cohabitation of cultures, introducing instead un’alternativa mediterranea, a world of multiple cultures that entails an ongoing learning and experiencing. The volume’s contributors use an interdisciplinary approach that mirrors the hybridity of the area and of the discipline, that is much more introspective and humanistic, more contemporary and inclusive.

Partendo dalla Sicilia come crocevia di culture mediterranee in costante dialogo, i saggi del volume esaminano il linguaggio di Domenico Tempio, poeta catanese del Settecento, che prende in prestito francesismi, ispanismi e arabismi, l’uso del siciliano nei testi musicali, e l’origine di pietanze alimentari e la loro rappresentazione letteraria, come chiave di lettura culturale tra le più significative per la comprensione dei popoli del Mediterraneo. Lo studio prosegue con l’analisi di testi come Il cane di terracotta (1996) e Il ladro di merendine (1996) di Andrea Camilleri, I delitti di via Medina-Sidonia (1996) di Santo Piazzese e l’opera di Leonardo Sciascia risalente agli anni Settanta, per esplorarne l’intrinseca transculturalità. In conclusione vengono trattati i “casi internazionali” dell’egiziana Nawal El Saadawi, in particolar modo il libro Una figlia di Iside (2021), a confronto con gli scritti della poetessa austriaca Ingeborg Bachmann e la complessa esperienza di Maïa Alonso e Marinette Pendola, autrici rispettivamente di Le soleil colonial (2015) e La riva lontana (2000).
Narratives of Mediterranean Spaces
Narratives of Mediterranean Space: Literature and Art across Land and Sea presents a comparative analysis of contemporary literary and visual narratives of movement and migration produced in Italian, Arabic and French. It analyzes how these works create a dialogue across the Mediterranean Sea. By paying attention to the multiple ways in which the Mediterranean is being narrated by contemporary writers and artists, Silvia Caserta aims to propose a reconceptualization of the Mediterranean as a polyphonic space of movement and resistance. The Mediterranean space that emerges from this study is a space that, by virtue of the instability and porosity of its geographical and cultural borders, is able to overcome normative dichotomies between north and south, east and west, local and global. This book proposes the Mediterranean is a fruitful area from which to investigate the wider contradictions of the contemporary global world while avoiding the traps of "Mediterraneanism". For this reason, the book highlights the contradictions and dissonances that emerge from reading Mediterranean works, opening up multiple perspectives on the Sea and on the different lands that surround it. Silvia Caserta is Associate Lecturer in Comparative Literature at the University of St Andrews, UK. Her research focuses on contemporary Italian literature and culture, approached within the broader cultural and geographical framework of the Mediterranean. .
