Workshop on Modern-Colonial Geographies in Latin America

The Mirage of The Civilizing City and the Archaic Countryside

The production of colonial landscapes has affected the ways in which modern space is imagined, narrated, and exploited. Moreover, the materiality of colonial and postcolonial practices has further contributed to shape hierarchical relationships across Latin American societies. As a result, urban and rural spaces, rather than being thought of as linear and dualistic forms, seem to constitute a contradictory and problematic relationship. Kings College London, on 5-6 April 2018. Full details http://aghct.org/modern-colonial-geographies.
