AAG 2008: CALL FOR PAPERS
"The Med is the Net": Representing and Remaking Mediterranean Geographies
These sessions explore the dynamic geographies of the Mediterranean, its diverse spaces and imaginaries and the forces transforming them. Taking a thematically and geographically relational approach to the Mediterranean – in line with the slogan of the Balearic Shoe company Camper: “La Med es la Red” or “The Med is the Net (or Network)” – we seek papers that engage the ongoing representation and remaking of Mediterranean livelihoods, imaginaries, and spaces. We are particularly interested in the dynamic, dialectical construction of the Mediterranean as space and idea, landscape and discourse, wherever that process be found. We welcome a wide range of topical foci and methodological approaches, and hope session papers look beyond Europe to the entire region. In sum, the sessions ask these questions. In what sense is the Med the Net? In what ways are disparate spatial processes and discourses articulated to organize and make meaning of the Mediterranean?
For consideration please submit queries or abstracts to David Prytherch, Department of Geography, Miami University at [log in to unmask] no later than October 15, 2007.
