MEDITERRANEAN FLOWS PEOPLE IDEAS AND OBJECTS IN...

This issue takes an inclusive approach to the multidimensional topic of Mediterranean movement
as the themes to be discussed include migration  trade  travelling objects  knowledge exchange
and dissemination of books. The case studies demonstrate the impact of movement on the
processes of identity building  whether social  cultural  or religious. Apart from textual
sources  the articles included in this issue explore the movement of objects that are
characterised by temporal continuity  embodying a prior existence with lingering effects. As
objects transform through time and space  so do the values and functions attributed to them.
The process of mapping out itineraries of value in the realm of the material allows us to grasp
the nature of a given social formation through the shape and meaning taken on by them. It also
provides insights into the nature of dynamic synergy between the world of material objects and
the realm of beliefs  knowledge  and identities.
