  Study days - Europe

  When the Nordic world looks at the Mediterranean

  Men from the North of Europe and the experience of the interior sea, 16th-20th century

  La Méditerranée et ses rivages, interface économique et religieuse majeure, connaît une fréquentation croissante par des hommes venus du nord de l’Europe à partir du XVI^e siècle. La journée a pour objet d’analyser les contacts ainsi noués. Les thèmes de l’altérité, de l’appropriation, des usages partagés, ainsi que des représentations, seront abordés. Il s’agit, in fine, d’interroger le processus de construction d’un territoire méditerranéen, perçu d’abord et avant tout dans sa dimension maritime, à travers le regard porté par des Européens du nord.

Reciprocally, how can the analysis of the different patterns of Turkey’s influence help us question the concept of “soft power”, and to come up with other notions?
