Abstract

This article attempts to examine the growing difficulu, of the urban communitarian experience under the light of a crossing between literature and image. The city currently undergoes a dizzying transformation which reveals cconomic,social, and cultural differences that look increasingly sharper, rendering
their consideration a major ehallenge. Among interpretations of such process,anistie readings stand out, especially within the fields of literature and film. Seeking support on the possibilities kir comparison and on the flexibility of boundaries fOund in both these languages, this alteie tries to hypothesize ;anistie expression as one of the most important tools to interpret the urban space and its relations to its inhabitants,while trying to investigate the transition of the contemporary city, which threatens to disappear under lhe growing intolerance.
