A Oriente. Breviario di un altro Mediterraneo
The volume intends to pay homage to the ideas and suggestions of an intellectual of our recent times such as Predrag Matvejevic, retracing – through some conceptual categories of the Bosnian writer such as geopoetics, and his historiographical intuitions – a journey through time, in what he traced as the Eastern Mediterranean, theater of war in the modern age between the powers of the time for the control of spices; and essential component of the history of the European space, part – albeit often denied – of its own civilization, thus transformed into a questionidentity on the essence of Europe.
Gaetano La Nave holds a PhD in History of International Relations. He has worked for years as a researcher in France, the United Kingdom and the United States.
