Description
Summary:Abstract Asinara and the Denied Territorialisation: Or Rather, How an Improper Use of Language Can Erase Memory In the language of journalism, and in non-specialist publications in general, places are often described using stereotypical terms that have little to do with the context. This is the case of Asinara, an island with a painful anthropic past (penal colony, lazaret, concentration camp, maximum security prison), now a protected area, often presented in tourist branding with the double stereotype of paradise island and pristine environment. The paper seeks to reframe Asinara by examining the practices of structuring, reification, and denomination through the analysis of archival material, visual material and field research.
