This work draws upon and extends Paul Gilroy’s powerful theorizations of the Black Atlantic by asking how Blackness is constructed, lived, and transformed in a region that has been alternatively understood as a „cultural crossroads“ at the heart of European civilization, a source of dangerous racial contamination, and—more recently—as the deadliest border crossing in the world. </span>But the Black Mediterranean is not a claim to any incommensurable difference or exceptionalism. In my talk, I draw on insights from Black, feminist, and postcolonial geographies to argue that the Mediterranean—which currently occupies a marginal position in global theorizations of racisms that are typically oriented on North America and the Atlantic—is actually a relational space that offers profound insights about the organization of the modern world. <span lang=EN-GB>I argue that new solidaristic political formations in the Black Mediterranean (which are, in many cases, led by Black women) have the potential to challenge heteropatriarchal, arborescent constructions of nation-as-racial-family, and should prompt us to rethink the categories of race, gender, citizenship, and Blackness on a global (rather than purely regional or methodologically nationalist) scale. </span>[<i>Im Anschluss an die GeoWoche erscheint der Vortrag auf Deutsch und Italienisch in der Geographica Helvetica</i>]<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><b><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
