Course Content
This course deals with the representations of the Mediterranean in cinema and literature. By Mediterranean is meant something more than the mere sea, it refers to an entire human geography that constitutes a world in itself with its rhythms of daily life and culture as put by the eminent French historian Fernand Braudel. Mediterranean cinema and literature is the corpus of cinematic and literary institutions and practices out of which emerge the representations of Mediterranean. It includes not only the native locals but also the foreigners and expatriates who contribute to the production of the Mediterranean image(s).
