Locating the Mediterranean brings together ethnographic examinations of processes that make locations and render them meaningful. The volume’s contributions illustrate how historical, legal, religious, economic, political, and social connections and separations shape the experience of being located in the geographical space around the Mediterranean. Theoretically novel and empirically rich, the volume stimulates anthropological debates on the interplay between location and region-making.

Situating Sustainability reframes our understanding of sustainability through related concepts, practices, and case studies. The differing geographic scope of this volume is joined by the disciplinary diversity of the contributors, bringing together researchers from cultural studies, anthropology, literature, law, behavioral science, urban studies, design, and development. The work of researchers and artists enables readers to better understand what sustainability means in their own locations, and how work in one place might support the efforts of others in other places.
