LABORATORY "LIVING THE DIALOGUE: CULTURES AND RELIGIONS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN"
The focus of the laboratory for the second half of the academic year 2021/22 is in particular the intertwining of cultures and migration in the Mediterranean mosaic. Through a comparative and multidisciplinary perspective, the series of seminars of which the course is composed, will try to deepen the role of migration from southern Europe, south-south migrations and within the African continent, the transnational networks of diasporas and migrants between south and north of the same continent and the role of social capital as a co-development factor for the region. The externalization of the migration policies of the European Union, the expansion of maritime borders, the facets of the Mediterranean identity but also the role of female migration, memory and dialogue between different actors (political, religious and civil society) of the countries of the two shores of the Mediterranean are the main themes of this course.
