Angela Fusco’s master’s thesis proposes epistemic theater as a curatorial methodology to confront and reconfigure colonial extractivism in the Mediterranean. Grounded in Sylvia Wynter’s framework of sociogeny, the research critiques archaeology’s role in sustaining colonial narratives and explores how curatorial practices can disrupt colonial knowledge systems. Drawing on Wynter’s non-dualistic conception of human experience, the thesis stages the Mediterranean’s ruins as a space of possession, fragmentation, and reconstitution of identity. It uses supernatural figures like the jinn and munacielli to unsettle binary thinking, proposing new ontologies and enabling the re-emergence of suppressed histories. Structured as a theatrical re-adaptation, the thesis unfolds through a prologue and three acts set within colonial remnants. The first act examines how folkloric figures challenge rationalist epistemologies; the second analyzes the commodification of colonial bodies and artifacts; the third addresses looting and symbolic reinscription in museum spaces.
