The VIII Xornada de Onomastica will start on October 21, 2023, at the Museum of Pontevedra, and will explore the role of toponyms and antroponyms in popular culture.
The one-day meeting of the Seminario de Onomástica of the Royal Galician Academy (Real Academia Galega, RAG) is organized in collaboration with the Diputación de Pontevedra and the Pontevedra museum. This year's edition will pay special attention to the presence of the people and place names in the popular songs.
In addition, there will be time to learn about experiences from the educational world related to the theme, which will be closed with a musical performance by Tralo-Valo. The sessions will be held in the morning and afternoon. The morning session will continue with a contribution by Antonio Reigosa Carreiras on onomastics in Galician oral tradition tales and a review of the relationship between onomastics and anthropology in Galicia by Elena Freire Paz. The afternoon session will start with a report by Carlos Baliñas Pérez on the social usages of cognomen (nicknames, sobriquets, family names...) in early medieval Galicia and will continue with a contribution from the world of didactics.
The toponyms, antroponyms and the names of saints in the songbooks will be the focus of the first three reports, given by Domingo Blanco, Xosé Miranda Ruíz and Xosé Ramiro Cuba Rodríguez, respectively.
Those interested in attending the conference in person should register by sending an email before October 18 to publicacions@academia.gal .
