Join us Monday, October 10th, 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm in 168 Dulles Hall for a presentation from Claudio Fogu, professor of Italian Studies at UC Santa Barba. This event is free and open to the public!
About the presentation:
Departing from his recently published The Fishing Net and the Spider Web (Palgrave, 2020), Prof. Fogu will explore various versions of the relationship between the Mediterranean and History elaborated by figures such as Fernand Braudel, Predrag Matvejevic, Peregrin Horden and Nicholas Purcell, lain Chambers and others. Arguing for a more structural connection between the Mediterranean imaginary and the liquidity of the historical imagination, Fogu advocates for a Mediterranean" form of historiographical orientation.
Sponsored by the Department of History, the Department of French and Italian, the Department of Comparative Studies, and the OSU Center For Languages. Literatures and Culture
