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, keywords. We will then look at the interconnections between culture, cultural geography and language geography; language as cultural phenomenon; toponyms and culture; and semiotics of space. These broad themes are analysed by grounding them in empirical case studies. 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, performance, 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.
