PATAGONIA KARTONIERT (TB)

This volume includes a selection of the papers given during the international conference
«Patagonia: Myths and Realities»  which was organised through the Centre of Latin American
Cultural Studies at the University of Manchester. The essays gathered in this collection are
not a direct record of the proceedings but pursue many of the themes raised by the
participants. The contributors to the volume come from the fields of history  literary studies
and cultural studies. From among the many sources that explore the representation of Patagonia
they have chosen to discuss a wide range of texts  dating from the eighteenth century to the
twentieth century  including travelogues  diaries  maps  novels  autobiographies  letters and
even a dictionary. The essays trace different experiences in order to illustrate the diversity
of the region. This book makes a significant contribution to the study of the historical
circumstances around the exploration and colonisation of Patagonia  as well as the subsequent
cultural  political and economic outcomes.
