After an introduction aimed at providing basic knowledge on the anthropology of writing, the theory of the act of writing and the different types of epigraphic media, students will firstly be introduced to the various epigraphic cultures covered by the training school, and secondly they will be challenged with a series of case studies that provide a contextualisation of the problems posed by particular epigraphic texts.
Location: The course will be conducted entirely online using the Zoom platform.
Language: Lectures will be delivered in English.
