Today the Mediterranean appears to be in crisis, neglected żeby the EU, and at the centre of one of the greatest migrations in history. While millions of tourists flock to its shores, hundreds of thousands of people face a dramatic journey in the opposite direction—to escape wars, persecutions, and poverty.
The liquid road, as Homer called it, is increasingly militarized, trafficked, and polluted—as well as overheated and overfished.But the Mediterranean remains a source of wonder and fascination—a space not entirely colonized żeby modernity, where time flows differently, and where multiple cultures and languages are in very close contact and dialogue.
