Presentation
Africa e Mediterraneo is an interdisciplinary six-monthly publishing since 1992 on economic, historical and cultural issues in the African context. In the 19 years of its existence, Africa e Mediterraneo has established itself as a field-defining cultural studies journal. Moving from an anthropologically-oriented editorial policy, but constantly referring to other subjects, Africa e Mediterraneo seeks a critical understanding of the global cultural flows and the cultural forms which define Africa in the late twentieth century. As such, the journal presents occasions where cultural and social differences emerge as public phenomena, manifested everywhere from highly localized cultural events, to popular culture or to global consumption and information networks. Artists and well-established scholars of fine arts and social sciences on an international level present some of their most innovative and up-dated work in the pages of Africa e Mediterraneo.
Africa e Mediterraneo reports and reflects current research on the cultural transformations associated with cities, art, media and consumption, and the cultural migrations that draw cities and societies into larger trans-national relationships and global political economies. Encouraging contributions from intellectuals both inside and outside the academic world, Africa e Mediterraneo seeks to:
- establish an international network of scholars committed to research on African traditional arts, contemporary visual arts, and on cultural forms as cinema, photography, television and video, comics, fiction, as well as African modern architecture and museums;
- explore the cultural implications of such processes as migration to Europe, the internationalization of visual arts and the African intellectuals' contribution to the debate on global culture.
- situate these forms, flows, and processes in their historical and social contexts.
The journal is addressed to all people who, for professional, didactic or cultural reasons, are interested in Africa and in intercultural flows related to movement of people to Europe. Subscribers are libraries, students, lecturers, teachers, schools, volunteers, international cooperating, cultural operators.
