Life Narratives: Self-referential Proclamations

Deadline for Full-Text Submissions: July 15, 2022

Our goal is to publish a collective volume, including at least some of the presentations / essays in this Round Table. Several publishing houses have shown interest in the project.

For the time being, we are only looking for 3 or 4 presentations (standard academic format) that cover any aspect of any Latin American city throughout history, from pre-Columbian times to the present day.
