The Mediterranean world has long been an island for European
thought and imagination. Anthropologically, the focus has been on
tradition rather than modernity, on continuity rather than change,
on borders rather than transgression. Today, the focus shifts to
the interconnected turbulences of the present that challenge the
imagination of a southern Other vis-a-vis a north-western Self and
the notion of a homogenous, unanimous culture area. The emerging
dialogue between Mediterranean and non-Mediterranean
anthropologists has introduced new perspectives on southern
mobilities and modernities across collapsing and (re)constructed
borders as they are inserted and created by global,
(trans-)national and local cultural processes. Three issues of the
Anthropological Journal on European Cultures are dedicated to "the
Mediterraneans" in the plural, thus making space for multiple
perspectives on multiple realities. Yet, the encompassing focus is
on the Mediterraneans as the people who are the subjects - and
objects - of these perspectives and realities. The first issue
concentrates on transborder movements and diasporas. The
forthcoming double issue will address more general, theoretically
oriented questions as well as further inquiries into contemporary
Mediterranean worlds.
