Migration and national identity in Latin America. Historical and contemporary overview


Through a historical analysis, the seminar aims to identify some characteristics of the problem of Atlantic migration, from and to Latin America. In particular, the issues of migration and national identity in the region will be explored. In this context, the "case study" of migration and identity processes in Argentina will also be presented. The "case study" incorporates the question of the reception of psychoanalysis, during the 20th century, especially in Buenos Aires, as a tool that contributed to the strengthening of a certain exclusionary collective identity that persists to this day in the country's culture.
