This chapter focuses on the historical urban phonosphere in Sardinia during a period that roughly coincides with the Kingdom of Savoy-Sardinia (1720–1861). We base our analysis on the following sources: two chronicles of celebratory events related to royal weddings held in Cagliari in 1722 and 1750; the account of a French officer’s journey to Sardinia in the first half of the nineteenth century; and the entries on the island in the main statistical and historical dictionary of the territories of the King of Sardinia. By comparing these sources, we show that the cultural specificity of the geographical and historical conditions of the island left its mark on the phonosphere. We argue that, in order to understand the historical urban phonosphere in this context, we must widen the field of observation to include the interconnections between urban and rural worlds. Furthermore, the phonosphere must be understood in the light of the socio-political changes that took place in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, which resulted in Sardinia’s gradual transition from the Iberian to the Italian cultural orbit.
Questo articolo si concentra sulla Fonosfera Storica Urbana (FSU) in Sardegna in un periodo che coincide grosso modo con il Regno di Savoia-Sardegna (1720-1861). In particolare, ci concentriamo su due cronache di eventi celebrativi relativi a matrimoni reali tenutisi a Cagliari rispettivamente nel 1722 e nel 1750; sul resoconto del viaggio di un ufficiale francese in Sardegna nella prima metà del XIX secolo e sulle voci relative all'Isola nel principale dizionario statistico e storico dei territori di S.M. il Re di Sardegna. Confrontando queste fonti, sosteniamo che la specificità culturale dipendente dalle particolari condizioni geografiche e storiche dell'Isola ha lasciato il segno nella fonosfera. Per comprendere la FSU in questo particolare contesto, occorre ampliare il campo di osservazione, includendo l'interconnessione tra mondo urbano e rurale, e leggerlo alla luce dei cambiamenti socio-politici che tra il XVIII e il XIX secolo portarono la Sardegna a una graduale transizione dall'orbita culturale iberica a quella italiana.

Abstract
This chapter focuses on the historical urban phonosphere in Sardinia during a period that roughly coincides with the Kingdom of Savoy-Sardinia (1720–1861). We base our analysis on the following sources: two chronicles of celebratory events related to royal weddings held in Cagliari in 1722 and 1750; the account of a French officer’s journey to Sardinia in the first half of the nineteenth century; and the entries on the island in the main statistical and historical dictionary of the territories of the King of Sardinia. By comparing these sources, we show that the cultural specificity of the geographical and historical conditions of the island left its mark on the phonosphere. We argue that, in order to understand the historical urban phonosphere in this context, we must widen the field of observation to include the interconnections between urban and rural worlds. Furthermore, the phonosphere must be understood in the light of the socio-political changes that took place in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, which resulted in Sardinia’s gradual transition from the Iberian to the Italian cultural orbit.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
