Synopsis

The book explores the multiple cultural bridges between Colombia and Italy by reflecting on key themes of the Colombian reality, such as the armed conflict, political history, literary production and the complexities of its social fabric. The first part of the text offers a panoramic account of the studies carried out in the Italian academy on Colombia's historical, social and literary context in the 20th and 21st centuries. The second part is an exploratory dialogue on the cultural and political relations between the two countries. The volume comprises nine research articles, two artistic works and a series of conversations with people whose paths have been marked by displacements and artistic and political experiences between Colombia and Italy.
