Due to current conflicts, crises and wars, the Mediterranean is back on the agenda of the social sciences. Yet, in the field of modern history this paradigm is almost absent. The network therefore aims to transcend the fragmentation of separate historiographies and get an integrated view of the late modern period of this region. It focuses on the dynamics and transformations of the region between 1800 and 2000. Instead of taking the Mediterranean as a natural given, the network will explore how this space was invented and shaped in the modern age. Against Mediterraneanist myths of Mediterranean unity, continuity and singularity, the region is conceived as a contact zone between Africa, Asia and Europe that was connected to and is comparable with other regions of the world.The members and guests of the network will meet at German research centres of the Mediterranean (Deutsches Historisches Institut Rom, Deutsch-Italienisches Studienzentrum Venedig, Orient Institut Beirut, Orient Institut Istanbul, Zentrum für Mittelmeerstudien Bochum, Zentrum Moderner Orient Berlin) in order to explore themes which are at the core of current debates on Mediterranean history: modernity and tradition, port cites and islands, mobility and borders, ideology and religion, knowledge and representation, transnational and global history. The discussions of the network will result in a number of publications, among them an anthology collecting texts representing the new historiography of the modern Mediterranean. In this way, Mediterranean history will not only be presented as an innovative field of historical research but also as a new approach that is able to combine European and non-European perspectives in a productive way helping us to understand what is at stake in this region at the moment and in the future.

由于目前的冲突，危机和战争，地中海重新回到社会科学的议程。然而，在现代历史领域，这种范式几乎不存在。因此，该网络的目的是超越分裂的单独的历史编纂，并获得一个综合的看法，晚现代时期的这一地区。它侧重于1800年至2000年期间该地区的动态和变化。该网络将探索这个空间是如何在现代被发明和塑造的，而不是将地中海视为自然的产物。该区域与地中海统一性、连续性和独特性的地中海主义神话相反，被视为非洲、亚洲和欧洲之间的接触区，与世界其他区域相连并可与之媲美。（Deutsches Historisches Institut Rom，Deutsch-Italienisches Institut Venedig，Orient Institut贝鲁特，Orient Institut伊斯坦布尔，Zentrum für Mittelmeerstudien波鸿，Zentrum Moderner Orient（柏林），以探讨目前关于地中海历史的辩论的核心主题：现代性与传统、港口城市与岛屿、流动性与边界、意识形态与宗教、知识与代表性、跨国与全球历史。该网络的讨论将产生一些出版物，其中包括一本文集，收集代表现代地中海新史学的文本。这样，地中海历史将不仅作为历史研究的一个创新领域，而且作为一种新的方法，能够以富有成效的方式结合联合收割机欧洲和非欧洲的观点，帮助我们了解该地区目前和未来的利害关系。
