Abstract: | Engaging with the arts and education in the Mediterranean is not unlike walking an intellectual tightrope. Or better still, such an undertaking could be compared to traversing a mesh made of scores of tightropes that intersect each other like a delicate weave, alternating between moments of respite and dizzying gaps or dilemmas. This network of tensions hovers over a space that simultaneously exists and does not exist, a space that can be located geographically quite easily but refuses to allow itself to be defined rationally. It is a space that is replete with collective and individual narratives and desires, yet the sheer number and diversity of its singularities obstruct a clear view of the ‘whole picture’. |
