Abstract:
This study aims at investigating the presence of Latin American communities in
the linguistic landscape (LL) of Milan, and the role of affect, understood as the
social dimension of emotions, in the construction of their collective identities. It
is based on a corpus consisting of photographic material from 36 Latin American
restaurants and other shops in Milan, interviews with their owners, and a number
of Facebook posts by the shopkeepers themselves, collected in the period 2019–
2020. The analysis will highlight the main emotive devices which can be seen in
LL items, such as the use of the Spanish language, food images, or certain colours
and graphical elements with strong cultural values. We will discuss some cases
that are particularly interesting from the point of view of the narration of place.
