Questions
"Dreaming latitude" is a disconcerting proposition. But perhaps writing a transnational story between two cities through two oceans (Atlantic and Pacific), you can investigate this possibility. In this conference, the collaborative nature of this research for Vigo (Galicia) and Wollongwong (Illawarra, Australia) will be discussed. Can the literary writing of these cities and the collaboration among them reveal innovative strategies for the negotiation of cultural differences in the local and global space? Can the "coastal sensitivity" inspire more latitude to manage the difference?
