Conclusion: Re-inventing the Odyssey. 330 $aNarratives of Mediterranean Space: Literature and Art across Land and Sea presents a comparative analysis of contemporary literary and visual narratives of movement and migration produced in Italian, Arabic and French. It analyzes how these works create a dialogue across the Mediterranean Sea. By paying attention to the multiple ways in which the Mediterranean is being narrated by contemporary writers and artists, Silvia Caserta aims to propose a reconceptualization of the Mediterranean as a polyphonic space of movement and resistance. The Mediterranean space that emerges from this study is a space that, by virtue of the instability and porosity of its geographical and cultural borders, is able to overcome normative dichotomies between north and south, east and west, local and global. This book proposes the Mediterranean is a fruitful area from which to investigate the wider contradictions of the contemporary global world while avoiding the traps of ?Mediterraneanism?. For this reason, the book highlights the contradictions and dissonances that emerge from reading Mediterranean works, opening up multiple perspectives on the Sea and on the different lands that surround it. Silvia Caserta is Associate Lecturer in Comparative Literature at the University of St Andrews, UK. Her research focuses on contemporary Italian literature and culture, approached within the broader cultural and geographical framework of the Mediterranean. . 410 0$aGeocriticism and Spatial Literary Studies,$x2634-5188 606 $aComparative literature 606 $aSpace 606 $aCulture 606 $aLiterature 606 $aEcocriticism 606 $aWorld history 606 $aEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects 606 $aComparative Literature 606 $aSpace and Place in Culture 606 $aWorld Literature 606 $aEcocriticism 606 $aWorld History, Global and Transnational History 606 $aSociology of Migration 615 0$aComparative literature. 615 0$aSpace. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aLiterature. 615 0$aEcocriticism. 615 0$aWorld history. 615 0$aEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects. 615 14$aComparative Literature. 615 24$aSpace and Place in Culture. 615 24$aWorld Literature. 615 24$aEcocriticism. 615 24$aWorld History, Global and Transnational History. 615 24$aSociology of Migration. 676 $a892.709 676 $a809.93321822 700 $aCaserta$b Silvia$01267012 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910627282703321 996 $aNarratives of Mediterranean Spaces$92978878 997 $aUNINA
