The Rómulo Gallegos Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CELARG) invites you to participate in this five-day seminar, in which the renowned writer and researcher Cósimo Mandrillo will guide us through the profound impact that oil exploitation and the presence of transnational corporations have had on Venezuelan culture since 1922. Throughout the sessions, Mandrillo will delve into how the arrival of "black gold" not only transformed the physical landscape and determined the country's economic destiny, but also shaped the expressive soul of our nation and ignited a flame of protest among the intellectuals of the time through novels, short stories, and poetry.
