HISTORY OF THE MEDITERRANEAN REGION. LESSON 1

This is the first lesson of the course of History of the Mediterranean Region for Lithuanian students of the bachelor programme in Italian studies.

In this first meeting, students will (1) express and share their ideas about the hypothetical borders and the defining features of this region. This is an important step since, according to H. Gardner (and others), to teach means, first of all, to correct or contextualise students preconceived ideas. (2) Secondly, some alternative definitions of the Mediterranean region will be proposed by the teacher paying attention to climatic and geographical features. (3) Finally, a comparative and diachronic investigation of the nomencalture used to refer to the sea, its borders or limits, and some of its geographical features will help students to perceive this region from different – non Western or Europocentric – perspectives.
