Through the example of Babylon and Granada, two cities steeped in history, rich in vestiges and sublimated by the symbolic value and mythical dimension that have been conferred on them over time, the work aims to confront spatial, event-based, social and monumental reality with its fictional reconstructions. These appear in different forms, in literature and literary myths, in painting, but also, in part, in academic discourse itself, whether through the interpretations it suggests or through the need to distance oneself from the shadow cast by "utopianism" on the objectivity or neutrality of research in the different disciplinary fields represented.
