Rachel Cobb featured in The Passenger: Mediterraneo
From the Latin "in the midst of the lands", the Mediterranean evokes classicism, contaminations and blue skies on which to project a desire: that of being able to capture the traits of a common identity. If the historian's gaze seems to deny the idea of Mediterraneanness - David Abulafia in this volume defines it as a fragmented space, in which even in the past the encounter between cultures was the exception of some cosmopolitan cities and not the rule - it is the Muses who are attracted by it.
