The initiative is organised by the Investigation Group of Literary Geographies (GEOLIT) (https://www.uv.es/geolit/) with the title 'Social and educational perspectives from written cities'.

The congress aims to contribute and share, from the most recent and interdisciplinary research, new social and educational perspectives based on the "spatial turn", which understands human beings in their dialectical interaction through space which uses "spatiality" as an object of study, concretised in the concept of place, defines as a concrete space traversed by emotions and a generator of personal and collective identities.

There will be six plenary lectures and 44 papers presented by 57 communicants.

On Thursday 28th, a round table discussion will be held in the Botanical Garden, moderated by Irene Rodrigo, with the novelists Rafa Lahuerta, Ferran Torrent and Miquel Nadal, and a literary route "Valencia, from anti-tourism to globalisation".
