13th International Conference on Chicanx Literature and Latino Studies
“Pilgrims on the Way Towards New Multidisciplinary Encounters”
For centuries, Santiago de Compostela has represented the goal of a Way travelled by millions of pilgrims moved by the purpose of reaching the redemption of their souls. Every stretch on the Way promises the discovery of new realities, new landscapes, new experiences and new faces. For many, this pilgrimage is also an unbeatable opportunity for introspection and self-encounter. The Way encourages us to look outward and inward at the same time, and thus invites us to rediscover ourselves through exposure to the external, the different, the alien, the unknown, the Other. Throughout history, whatever the difficulties of the journey, pilgrims’ efforts and a desire to overcome have guided them to their destination, Santiago de Compostela, which in reality is not the end of the way but the promise of a new beginning
On June 12, 13 and 14, 2024, the 13th International Conference on Chicano Literature and Latino Studies will be held at the Faculty of Philology of the University of Santiago de Compostela. You are all invited to present panels/ round tables and/ or papers on any of the following topics related to Chicana Literature and Latino Studies. For more information please visit www.hispausa.com.
