the Caribbean: Insights into funerary heritage in Cuba

Die Abteilung Kulturwissenschaft lädt zum Gastvortrag von MSc. Luis Ramón Campo Yumar.

The Department of Cultural Studies invites you to attend the online guest lecture by MSc. Luis Ramón Campo Yumar (Universidad Central de Las Villas, Cuba)

A little studied aspect of the onomastic memory of the Jewish immigration in Cuba is the one associated to the funerary patrimony. The funerary linguistic landscape in the island is constituted by the texts on tombstones, porticos, and other architectural structures. First impressions of a prestudy are reflected in the context of a workshop discussion. Participation link on request: sarah.nimfuehr@kunstuni-linz.at
