The Training School is aimed to lead students through the challenges posed by a selection of epigraphic texts, the meaning of which becomes transparent only if considered within their peculiar production and display context.
The introduction to the course will provide basic knowledge on the anthropology of writing, the writing act theory, and the different types of epigraphic support. The students will be firstly introduced to the various epigraphic cultures object of the training school, and secondly challenged with a series of case studies which provide contextualization of the problems posed by particular epigraphic texts.
