cultural mediation, translation, nomadismAbstract
Alaíde Foppa and Alba de Céspedes moved through a multiplicity of geographical, cultural and identity-based spaces in which they developed their literary creations, weaved networks and promoted spheres where they brought together different knowledges and activities. The nomadism that characterised their lives and the historical processes that permeated them gave rise to writing, intellectual participation and cultural promotion with marked global traits. This article delves into the role played by the two intellectuals as mediators between different cultural worlds and into affection as a relevant element, both for the development of their practices and for the choice of the place where they felt their roots.
