The series The Ways of the Word, now in its fifth edition, intends to examine and discuss the theme of language and the different uses of words.
In a time in which our every word can be amplified, emphasised or betrayed on the Internet, social networks and elsewhere, a responsible use of language and words has become of greater significance and importance for each of us. A series of meetings to discuss the boundless wealth of our vocabulary, the origin of our words, their history, the context of their usage and how they have marked an era or an aspect of our society.
A lively and varied word-fest replete with useful suggestions, curious anecdotes and many surprises.
In collaboration with il Mulino Publishing House and the Libraries and Cultural Welfare Sector of the Municipality of Bologna as part of Bologna's Pact for Reading
