Summary

No singular, monolithic interpretation of the Mediterranean exists; instead, its dynamic cultural exchanges and shifting histories demand plural perspectives. This volume challenges the notion of a unified Mediterranean pedagogy by emphasizing the region's diverse artistic expressions, historical dialogues, and contemporary interactions. Through case studies like 'Dessine-moi la Méditerranée,' an art workshop in Algiers' Casbah, researchers demonstrate how provisional understandings emerge from local practices, cross-cultural codes, and the sea's invitation for exploration. The study rejects reductive narratives, advocating instead for fluid, multifaceted interpretations that reflect the region's complexity.
