      abstract = {Narratives of Mediterranean Space: Literature and Art  across Land and Sea presents a comparative analysis of  contemporary literary and visual narratives of movement and  migration produced in Italian, Arabic and French. It  analyzes how these works create a dialogue across the  Mediterranean Sea. By paying attention to the multiple ways  in which the Mediterranean is being narrated by  contemporary writers and artists, Silvia Caserta aims to  propose a reconceptualization of the Mediterranean as a  polyphonic space of movement and resistance. The  Mediterranean space that emerges from this study is a space  that, by virtue of the instability and porosity of its  geographical and cultural borders, is able to overcome  normative dichotomies between north and south, east and  west, local and global. This book proposes the  Mediterranean is a fruitful area from which to investigate  the wider contradictions of the contemporary global world  while avoiding the traps of "Mediterraneanism". For this  reason, the book highlights the contradictions and  dissonances that emerge from reading Mediterranean works,  opening up multiple perspectives on the Sea and on the  different lands that surround it. Silvia Caserta is  Associate Lecturer in Comparative Literature at the  University of St Andrews, UK. Her research focuses on  contemporary Italian literature and culture, approached  within the broader cultural and geographical framework of  the Mediterranean. .},
