Course Content (Syllabus)
The study of the political, economic, social, demographic and cultural history of the Mediterranean is now a well-established field of study. Key points of this subject are important port cities on all Mediterranean coasts. These appeared as the culminations of networks of multilevel relations which interconnected continents, oceans, empires, states, religions, ideologies, markets, trading houses and families and contributed to cultural syncretism and the formation of identities and mentalities. Particularly interesting is the evolution of such phenomena after the confinement of Islam on the northern coast of Africa and the expansion of the Ottoman Empire in the same area. The presentation of the subject includes the political aspects of the formation of the Mediterranean region but mainly the study of population movements, the trading economy and the operation of international markets for goods, news and people, the formation of the space and landscape of coastal cities, the management and shaping of their multicultural character (with reference to the Levantines) as well as the stereotypical perceptions of the region in the arts.
