Luisa Corazza, Università del Molise

The seminar aims at developing a comparative analysis among different narratives on inner areas, evaluating their impact on legal and political lexicon. Italian “inner areas” will serve as a case study. Given that specific strategies to combat depopulation in vulnerable territories have integrated social and territorial cohesion policies, a range of initiatives have enriched the narratives surrounding inner areas. Discourses on naturalistic landscapes, villages and historical heritage ultimately reflects different approaches to territorial cohoesion, to the promotion of regional develpment and to the contrast of depopulation.
