This section aims at opening debate, wishing to encompass the wide variety of ideas and perspectives, without masking far-reaching differences, but staying away from controversies and false dichotomies, and running against the trends of extremism and radicalism. We foster voices that take time to explore, ponder, explain and unfold a polyphony of symbols, voices that would be rooted, firmly anchored in their ground, but not frozen in immobility, full of conviction but devoid of dogmatism.
“The view from here” offers local perspectives on historical or contemporary events, and short articles rooted in a specific place.
“Insights” is dedicated to short, punchy viewpoints concerned with historical, political, cultural, religious or social questions.
The “Analysis” section is concerned with the larger perspective, replacing events in their wider social, cultural and historical context, in order to gain a more informed insight.
This section offers short reviews reflecting the current creation in the field of literature, theater, culture, movies, etc... around the Mediterranean.
