CETRA is pleased to spread the word about an upcoming, interdisciplinary summer school organized by colleagues at Venice International University, University of Exeter and KU Leuven on the topic of ‘Linguistic Landscapes: Using Signs and Symbols to Translate Cities‘. The summer school will take place on 24-28 June, 2024, in Venice, Italy. Applications are due by 5 March 2024 and can be submitted via the VIU website.
What is the aim of the school?
The aim of the school is to study the multimodal domain of images, sounds, drawings, movements, visuals, graffiti, tattoos, colours, smells as well as people. It will focus on language and linguistic signs and how they translate cities, in a broad sense. The school will also give you the opportunity to carry out research in Venice and explore the cultural profile of our cities.
Who is it for?
Applications are welcome from current final-year undergraduates (finalists, BA3), MA and MPhil/PhD students in Linguistics, Sociology, Classical Studies, (Business) Communication Studies, History, Cultural Studies, Political Studies, Translation Studies, or any other related discipline.
