Across the Corrupting Sea: Post-Braudelian Approaches to the
Ancient Eastern Mediterranean reframes current discussions of the
Mediterranean world by rereading the past with new methodological
approaches. The work asks readers to consider how future studies
might write histories of the Mediterranean, moving from the larger
pan-Mediterranean approaches of The Corrupting Sea towards
locally-oriented case studies. Spanning from the Archaic period to
the early Middle Ages, contributors engage the pioneering studies
of the Mediterranean by Fernand Braudel through the use of critical
theory, GIS network analysis, and postcolonial cultural inquiries.
Scholars from several time periods and disciplines rethink the
Mediterranean as a geographic and cultural space shaped by human
connectivity and follow the flow of ideas, ships, trade goods and
pilgrims along the roads and seascapes that connected the
Mediterranean across time and space. The volume thus interrogates
key concepts like cabotage, seascapes, deep time, social networks,
and connectivity in the light of contemporary archaeological and
theoretical advances in order to create new ways of writing more
diverse histories of the ancient world that bring together local
contexts, literary materials, and archaeological analysis.
