The Mediterranean, an inland sea located between the fringes of three continents and civilizations well-differentiated beliefs gave rise to many literary and aesthetic trends. Beyond the tragedy of the fractures and divisions that live and interact while past and present, we will seek to show the contribution of literature and visual arts (painting, photography, sculpture ... etc.. ) the emergence / building a multi-dimensional representation of the Mediterranean mosaic.
In this perspective, we have to determine the impact of the sea on the work of creators and this, to see whether to speak with a specificity of Art on the periphery of the Mediterranean .
The seminar is designed as a multimedia and interdisciplinary courses with the goal of showing the artwork in relation to past and present to attempt to free a representation of the Mediterranean too often stuck in its own stereotypes.
