Decolonising the Mediterranean means, first and foremost,
investigating how the legacy of colonial rule over bodies and land
has been used by other entities and powers to impose new forms of
hegemony after the fall of empires and European powers. It means
denouncing and dissecting the tools employed in the production of
new geometries of power in the global Mediterranean, as well as in
the farthest, most recondite corners of the Mediterranean World.
Decolonising the Mediterranean is an epistemological practice of
border dismantling and scrutiny of the ways in which powers overlap
and intertwine. The multiplication of the border is investigated in
this volume from an in-between position, namely a specific
positionality of subjectivities, in order to connect the global and
local, and address Mediterranean issues with a transnational
approach. Decolonising the Mediterranean means thinking of the
Mediterranean as a space of investigation beyond its geographical
boundaries. Finally, it requires deconstructing the power relations
at play, viewing the Mediterranean as an excess space of
signification in order to reconsider the past and present stories
and subjectivities erased by Eurocentric, nationalist historical
discourse. In this sense, the Mediterranean may, then, be more than
a "method": a matter of politics, or a space without borders where
the future can be reinvented from the bottom up.This volume is
structured into six chapters, each written by a different author
focusing on a single North African, Maghreb and Mashrek country's
colonial legacy to investigate borders in a transnational
perspective. While the research directions and topics of
investigation adopted here are different, they can all be situated
on the boundary line described above, and each chapter suggests a
specific path for decolonising knowledge.
