Dal Medio Evo allepoca più recente scrittori nei loro viaggi immaginari e viaggiatori veri come Pietro Quertini, Giuseppe Acerbi o Umberto Nobile hanno contribuito a rafforzare il mito del lontano e sconosciuto Nord. Questo incontro è concepito come un primo passo per creare una piattaforma di discussione e di condivisione di studi e ricerche sia di carattere linguistico che letterario sulla visione della Scandinavia da parte del Sud dellEuropa. Si invita chi voglia partecipare ad inviare una proposta di comunicazione (in italiano o in inglese) di massimo 400 parole, indicando nome, titolo del contributo, istituzione, indirizzo email. Tassa partecipazione: €50 euro (studenti €20 euro) Scandinavian Grand Tour The far North from the South-European point of view South-European culture has often pictured Scandinavia as an exotic place, a mixture of myth, legend and cultural stereotypes. From the Middle Ages and onwards many writers and travelers while exploring the far North - such as Pietro Querini (15th century), Giuseppe Acerbi (1773-1846) or Umberto Nobile (1885-1978) - have contributed to the strengthening of this myth in their accounts of fantastic adventures. This workshop is planned as a first step to create a platform for discussing and sharing examples of South- European travel descriptions of Scandinavia, under literary and linguistic point of view, including travel guides. Authors are invited to submit a max 400 word abstract (in Italian or English) by July 30, 2010, with name(s) of author(s), title of paper, affiliation, e-mail contact information. Conference fees: €50 euro (students €20 euro) Inviare il proprio abstract a (entro il 30 luglio 2010) Send the submission to (deadline July 30, 2010): marco.gargiuloif.uib.no e margareth.hagenif.uib.no Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue Page Updated: 02-Jun-2010       About LINGUIST    |   Contact Us       While the LINGUIST List makes every effort to ensure the linguistic relevance of sites listed on its pages, it cannot vouch for their contents.
