Abstract
The period and subject of Americanism includes the diverse artistic and cultural manifestations in pre-Columbian America; the initial conquests, expeditions, explorations and those involved in them; the consolidation of the colony with the foundation of local corporations; the importance of commerce and movement of pieces of art; and the problems of the independence process in terms of justice, thought and businesses; ending with studies of the 20th century, including the Cold War, the armed conflict in Colombia and the importance of Latin American culture in thought, cuisine and theatre. América: singularidad versus universalidad (America, Singularity Versus Universality) compiles some of the presentations made at the 18th Conference of the Spanish Association of Americanists held at the Universitat Jaume I in Castelló between 10 and 13 July 2018.
