Educational goals:
The course offers the conceptual tools for the geographical analysis of interculturalism.
Course contents:
The course considers the theme of the meeting/clash of cultures in a geographical context. The land, the landscape and their representations can assume the function of vehicles for the signification of culture, ideology and identity used to "build" the cultural homogeneity of a regional or national community, and to shape its governing class. Invested with cultural significance and emotional values, landscape and territory not only contain, but also become the actors and often the protagonists in intercultuarlism. The course looks at the history and the anthropology of the journey, representation and 'semiotic' cartography, concepts of lanscape, and the history of tourism as subjects that are connected with intercultural geography.
