An introductory essay frames the analysis in terms of a new spatial paradigm of the Mediterranean as a geographic, historical, and cultural region that emerged in the late eighteenth century, as France and Britain colonized the surrounding territories. Essays are grouped around three vital themes: visualization of the space of the new Mediterranean; varied uses of the classical paradigm; and issues of identity and resistance in an age of modernity and colonialism. Drawing on recent geographical, historical, cultural and anthropological studies, contributors address the visual representation of identity in both the European and the 'Oriental, ' the colonial and post-colonial Mediterranean. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vojtech Jirat-Wasiutyñski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487564805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487564803\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Vojtech Jirat-Wasiutyñski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485365383423,"sku":"9781487564803","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f2b54a4-51ed-4766-b99e-4c6ca4ddc4db.jpg?v=1778049311","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modern-art-and-the-idea-vojtech-jirat-wasiutyzski-9781487564803","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
