Braudelian concept of unity in the long dur=E8e, to the more recent ecologi=
cal
and geographical approaches of Horden and Purcell, 'Mediterraneanism' (the
peculiar characteristics that the cultures living around the Mediterranean
had, and still have, in common), has stimulated and perplexed the scholarly
mind. Historians in particular are often on the lookout for unity,
distinctiveness and connectivity binding together peoples, cultures and
imaginaries, inhabiting its coastlines. The 'Mediterranean world' therefore=
,
traversing different historical periods, has given rise to an impressive
volume of extraordinary interpretations, life-world strategies, and symboli=
c
constructions. Such activity manifests itself in the remarkable literature,
art, philosophies, religions, archaeological readings, political theories
and economic practices, of the region.

The conference organisers seek thought-provoking papers exploring the
mythological, symbolic and ideational peculiarities of the 'Mediterranean
world' across these different historical periods. We invite participation i=
n
an interdisciplinary conference, revolving around the following themes:

* Byzantium and the Mediterranean: Myth or reality?
* The Mediterranean as the =93Ottoman Territorial Sea=94: Myth or Reality?
* The Ottomans in the Mediterranean: Violent Encounters vs. Peaceful
Interactions
* The Contestation of Identities: Gender, ethnic, regional
* Memory and Dream: Writing, reading, imaging, tuning the Mediterranean Myt=
h
* Mapping the Mediterranean: Soft centres and shifting borders
* Archaeological readings: Urban and suburban Legends within the
Mediterranean 'Poliad' vocation
* Childhood Memories

Additional Notes

* The official languages of the conference are English and Turkish.

* All participants are responsible for their own travel and accommodation
expenses and schedules.

* The participants will NOT be charged with any registration fee.

* The conference venue will be in Istanbul.
