Synopsis

This second “Quaderno” presents some Latin American Urban Realities 2.0 through readings that adopt different and often complementary points of view. A “Travel notes” between ruins and skyscrapers, historic centers and suburbs, urban myths and prejudices, which have their beginning in the Caribbean to move to South America and land in Venice. A cartographic rhapsody, in short, which is proposed as a contribution to reflection on the convulsive and contradictory Latin American present and inaugurates, as a Quaderno, a space especially open to scientific contributions from young scholars from different disciplines united by the same interest - that of the Romance Americas - of which CRIAR aims to make itself representative.
