Preface
Stranger for a Day, Cypriot for a Lifetime. By Way of a Foreword
Abstract
The theme chosen for this volume, i.e. the exploration of interactions between insiders and outsiders, is connected with multiculturalism, multiethnicity, coexistence, convivencia on the one hand, and with insularity, connectivity, and their influence on the development of island culture(s) on the other. All these issues have been discussed numerous times in recent years, referring to both ancient and modern civilizations of the Mediterranean. Yet, the idea underlying the present collection of essays was to address such topics from a perspective not merely theoretical, but first and foremost practical, through a series of case studies revolving around the fresh examination of very different types of sources – pottery, inscriptions, archival documents, narratives, historical accounts, life stories, exhibition materials – along an intentionally broad chronological span.
