Academic Year 2008/2009

  • Teaching Mode: Traditional lectures
  • Campus: Bologna
  • Corso: First cycle degree programme (L) in Geographical Sciences (cod. 0961)

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course the student is able to understand the critical relationship between space, culture and geographical knowledge and deconstruct the political, cultural and economic paradigms of geography.

Course contents

The course will cover the relationship between space, geography and narration. More closely it comes to understand how geography has succeeded with its concepts of space, place, region and state, to build a "novel of modern Europe." A similar path moves from the reflections by the new cultural geography that you provide during the course, the main conceptual and methodological tools.
