This exciting book significantly contributes to Mediterranean studies, encompassing a variety of themes from medical to imaginative realms. It redefines the concept of “diaspora.” The Mediterranean port cities, with their bustling streets and impressive architecture, shared structural and color similarities. Sailors, merchants, pirates, and consuls from around the world converged in these metropolises, seeking income, adventure, or new opportunities, thereby shaping their identities. Authors Desanka Schwara, Luise Müller, Patrick Krebs, Ivo Haag, and Marcel Gosteli explore whether these diaspora groups share a common habitus from a boundless spatial perspective. They examine the experiences of these dispersed communities, focusing on the interconnected space between Lisbon and Istanbul while disregarding political and other boundaries, much like the diasporic individuals themselves. Through comparative local studies, the authors investigate lifestyles and trans-territorial characteristics such as mobility, communication, cultural codes, cultural transfer, and interaction patterns. Minorities, encompassing various ethnic, religious, and social groups, are not viewed merely as subjects of tolerance or intolerance but as active components of pre-national systems.
