Under the title Imaginar el Mediterrani (Catalan for Imagining the Mediterranean), the latest issue of ‘Quaderns de la Mediterrània’ considers the possibility of building a collective identity among Mediterranean countries and cultures. Sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists, and art and image theorists come together in the journal aiming to discuss and develop new narratives showing the diverse, and sometimes contradictory, sociocultural context in the Mediterranean.  

This issue also includes a selection of the papers submitted to the international conference under the same name organised by the IVAM on September 2017.

Joaquín Aldás-Manzano, Vice-principal for Strategy, Quality and Information Technologies, moderator of the presentation; Josep Ferré, Managing Director of the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed); José Migurl García Cortés, Director of the IVAM; María Ángeles Roque, journal’s director, and Maite Ibáñez, representative of the Mediterranean Citizens’ Assembly Foundation (MCAF) will speak in the presentation.
