Mediterranean in the global

The cluster Mediterranes im Globalen - Die Welt des Mittelmeers, das Mittelmeer in der Welt looks at the Mediterranean in its global context and thus adds an innovative perspective to the overall question. Instead of asserting the identity of a self-contained Mediterranean, the cluster will focus on the diverse connections that can be forged with the world from the Mediterranean. Examples include global migration and trade relations, political and cultural relations resulting from former colonial rule, artistic representations and philosophical analyses of the Mediterranean from a non-Mediterranean perspective.
