Summary

The workshop deals with experiments of internal colonization implemented during the 20th century in the Mediterranean area, compared from a trans-disciplinary perspective combining both retrospective explanatory theories and prospective reflections around issues such as: mechanisms of nationalisation, macro-regional identities, forms of political government and economic development, town and country planning policies in regard to architectural expression. New paradigms such as the “spatial turn” in the Humanities and strategic societal issues in the spatial disciplines shall be explored, as well as further collaborative research and teaching activities across the fields involved.
