CENTRAL TOPIC
Latin America and the World: Spaces of Encounters and Collaboration
The central topic offers an opportunity to study the impacts of the contact between Latin America and the rest of the world in multiple interpretations from different perspectives. It stimulates critical reflection on historical and socioeconomic processes, literary tendencies, linguistic changes, and cultural phenomena from the first contacts to the analysis of the most recent processes. It can also promote comparative approaches between different countries and regions for a better understanding of our reality and our relationships, which also facilitates the construction of an attitude towards current phenomena and problems.
