The Mediterranean peoples usually face multiple challenges, which encourage them to rethink constantly their relationship with territory and community. In the spring of 2015, in Savona, some local cultural associations organised a meeting on the main processes that are occurring in the present Mediterranean. Various different peoples, economic disparities, and cultural, religious and social diversity are giving it al-most post-modern features. The organisers asked scholars and lecturers to consider the works of three writers of the XX century, Albert Camus, Francesco Biamonti and Jean Giono in a Mediterrranean perspective. After that take-off, two volumes of Quarderni IRCrES-CNR gather close reflections on some major questions: the first issue focuses on Territories and Historical Scenarios; the second one focuses on some main writings of 'the Short Century'.

Abstract
The Mediterranean peoples usually face multiple challenges, which encourage them to rethink constantly their relationship with territory and community. In the spring of 2015, in Savona, some local cultural associations organised a meeting on the main processes that are occurring in the present Mediterranean. Various different peoples, economic disparities, and cultural, religious and social diversity are giving it al-most post-modern features. The organisers asked scholars and lecturers to consider the works of three writers of the XX century, Albert Camus, Francesco Biamonti and Jean Giono in a Mediterrranean perspective. After that take-off, two volumes of Quarderni IRCrES-CNR gather close reflections on some major questions: the first issue focuses on Territories and Historical Scenarios; the second one focuses on some main writings of 'the Short Century'. This article introduces the debated themes and enriches them with further examples.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
