La Méditerranée : échelles et figures de l'histoire
Cycle de conférences : Penser la Méditerranée
6 février 2007, Alex-Med, Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Alexandrie, Egypte.
A
look at the transformations witnessed the region throughout the period,
focusing on the ways in which these changes can be interpreted from the
perspective of the development of the region. For although there is no
doubt that the Mediterranean in general, and the Eastern Mediterranean
in particular, were losing much of their former pre-eminence and power,
and were being marginalized by the rapid development of a global economy
centered on the Atlantic front, this process did not exclude a certain
form of dynamism, which, although growingly dependent on new and
powerful actors from outside the region, nevertheless promoted the
intensification of certain social, cultural, and economic networks
throughout the basin. The talk will therefore attempt to give a balanced
account of the ambiguous and sometimes paradoxical ways in which
decline and revival characterized jointly the destiny of this
multicultural environment during these two centuries.
