Alterity & The Third Landscape

Alterity & Third Landscape recapitulates on the accumulated knowledge from previous events by centering the conversation on the meaning of Alterity and its spatial implication. It investigates how Alterity is “represented” or acted upon by different groups. Prof. Anna Dietzsch will lead the conversation around alternative economies and communities. The topic will touch upon how issues of identity and alterity are reshaped when we expose the diversity of experiences (spatial and social) and imaginaries (cultural) around Latin America.
