Il mondo mediterraneo è stato inteso per secoli come 'camera iperbarica' in cui la produzione di immagini idilliache, da parte dei viaggiatori del Grand Tour, ha condotto negli abissi la sua reale vicenda architettonica, figlia di compromissioni dello spazio. Il saggio presentato ha definito la costruzione di un (contro-)Atlante all'interno del quale le architetture hanno agito per traslazioni aggiornando, in funzione dello spazio, la nozione di geografia. Il testo indaga tale 'sconfinamento' attraverso il tema dell'abitare borghese, cercando un principio logico tra il Mediterraneo e le architetture di Palladio, Rossi e Märkli, unite da un sistema di distanze invisibili in grado di dimostrare la temporaneità delle 'mappe'. Se è vero quindi che la costruzione dello spazio modifica le carte geografiche è lecito chiedersi in questo senso dove il Mediterraneo finisca, domanda alla quale si è voluto trovare risposta per mezzo del progetto d'architettura e dei suoi fenomeni compositivi. [Testo dell'editore].

Charting important new territory within medieval gender studies, Megan Moore explores the vital role that women played in transmitting knowledge and empire within Mediterranean cross-cultural marriages. Whereas cross-cultural exchange has typically been understood through the lens of male-centered translation work, this study, which is grounded in the relations between the west and Byzantium, examines cross-cultural marriage as a medium of literary and cultural exchange, one in which women's work was equally important as men’s. Moore's readings of Old French and Medieval Greek texts reveal the extent to which women challenged the cultures into which they married and shaped their new courtly environments. Through the lens of medieval gender and postcolonial theory, Exchanges in Exoticism demonstrates how the process of cultural exchange – and empire building – extends well beyond our traditional assumptions about gender roles in the medieval Mediterranean.
