GIULIO LEGHISSA is a 5th-year PhD student at University of Toronto (Department of Classics). He graduated with a BA from University of Bologna (Italy) and later he from University of Oxford (UK) with an MPhil in Greek and Latin Language and Literature. The studies he pursues are various and reflect the different, multicultural nature of his learning. After a beginning as Latin philologist and textual critic (BA dissertation: a commentary on a section of Plautus’ Aulularia), he developed further interests in Greek literature and papyrology (MPhil dissertation: a commentary of the fragments of Tyrtaeus’ Eunomia). Now, he finds himself working on a topic related to ancient history, in particular on connectivity and mobility between North Africa and Egypt in a longue-durée perspective that encompasses Hellenistic and Roman periods. The aim of his current work is twofold. Firstly, he intends to unpack the colonial underpinnings of Western scholarly discourse on ‘connectivity’ and North Africa’s environmental marginality in the Mediterranean basin. Secondly, he means to show that connectivity along the southern Mediterranean coastline did exist and was not hindered by so-called environmental constraints, as it has generally been assumed; this will be possible by casting light on different instances of mobility, both on sea and in land, between North Africa (from Morocco to Cyrenaica, also called Maghrib) and Egypt. Besides, Giulio is interested in the application of indigenous methodologies to Classics and in the uncovering of ‘indigenous voices’ in classical texts. He believes that Greco-Latin texts do not necessarily endorse, or inform, Western colonialist practices necessarily; instead, they convey different points of views and establish a dialogue moment between Greco-Roman and foreign systems of knowledge.
