Pagine al vento. Le identità letterarie della Patagonia in una prospettiva geografica

Abstract

The analysis of the Patagonian literature from a geographical perspective allows to show some recurring themes, with which the characters of the various works measure and confront each other, constructing and affirming their identity in relation to the places. Among the recognized themes is that of regional citizenship in a condition of cross-border marginality, in which the internal and international migratory phenomenon overlaps with the reshaping and rediscovery of the identities of pre-existing populations, while tourism commercializes the imaginary.
