Course Objective

Focusing on the Mediterranean that hosts the intercultural interactions and debates, this course aims to decode the Mediterranean through its social, geographical, physical, and socio-economical networks. Besides, the cities and architectures of the Mediterranean basin will be examined through their pluralistic structures such as multi-culturalism, multi-identity, and cosmopolitanism. Within the course, the projected multi-readings that include detailed analyses related to the places are to be reported and presented.
