Myths and Realities is the first international conference to structure a discussion of the intersections between Patagonia as a site for utopian, religious, aesthetic, scientific and patriotic quests and the region’s current cultural, political and social situation. Scholars who are examining various issues in relation to Patagonia rarely have had the opportunity to discuss their work with fellow colleagues within an international and multidisciplinary context. Moreover, there is no single printed collectively authored volume addressing these academic developments. The Conference will therefore fill a vacuum by providing a forum for the growing number of scholars working on Patagonian themes and publishing their work in a volume that will offer an integrated treatment of the field.
