THE COURSE WILL BE TAUGHT IN ENGLISH, AND THE EXAM WILL BE IN ENGLISH.

The course aims at examining the relationship between space/place and language from different perspectives. At the beginning of the course, the students will familiarize with the field of cultural geography and its main themes, concepts, and keywords. After having explored the differences between linguistic geography and geographies of languages, we will analyse broader case studies so see how concepts are applied and to introduce new ideas and concepts that connect culture, cultural geography and language geography; language as cultural phenomenon; toponyms and culture; indigenous knowledge practices in relation to language and space; communication and media and their impact on spaces.

Moreover, we observe how the relationship between geography and language expresses itself in different configurations of bodies and spaces: digital and media spaces, literary spaces, migratory fluxes, terrorism and counterterrorism discourses and place-bound semiotics, cultural and intercultural spaces.

The course has two different programmes: a 45 hours one, worth 9 CFU, and a 30 hours one, worth 6 CFU.
