While academic, political and public discourses on the Mediterranean are still dominated by hegemonic perspectives which eclipse other perceptions, interpretations and representations, the focus of this conference will be on minorities and diaspora communities in the Mediterranean. For (even positively connoted) persistent images and narratives of the Mediterranean (“the cradle of religion”, “the cradle of civilisation”) often neglect that it was the coexistence of such various communities within heterogeneous societies which enabled (and carried) these developments. The conference thus seeks both to analyse and question current political developments, which label the Mediterranean in various ways as “the other”, as well as to devote particular attention to non-nation-state and migrant communities’ perspectives on the Mediterranean.
