Mediterranean geographies from the abyss. Traces of the wake: boats and shipwrecks

In the Mediterranean maritime spaces of the violent wake, Europe acts as a spectator as if the shipwrecks were an element of nature. I will use the lens of critical ocean geographies to show that these shipwrecks are phenomena of a history where Europe is an actor. This article argues that, rather than falling into the vertex obscuring the vortex, it might be possible to implement an inversion of the Mediterranean experience by interweaving human and more-than-human organic natures as part of our Mediterranean experience. Looking, therefore, at a geobiological history, taking care not to decentralize the migrant body. To do this, I propose a virtual dialogue between the performance ‘And Europe dehumanized itself’ and other art expressions reflecting on the Mediterranean question.
