Through the analytical lens of hunting, this book examines the efforts of Latina’s inhabitants to see their city as a meaningful social space, as they navigate the city’s multiple histories and the absent presence of the contested past.
Latina was founded in 1932 by the Fascist Regime and is often described by its inhabitants through its absences, as a place where there is ‘nothing’. The book examines the role of absence in place-making and delves into the lived experience of Latina. Through the analytical lens of haunting, this work explores its inhabitants’ efforts to see their city as a meaningful social space, as they navigate its multiple histories and the absent presence of the contested past.
