| Sumario: | This paper discusses topophilia as an affective bond developed toward one’s place of origin, a relationship rich in psychological and emotional elements that can be susceptible to ideological manipulation and symbolic association, often resulting in propaganda. The study explores the specificities of the concepts of territory, space, and place to analyze how toponymy influences representations and the propagation of power, particularly when driven by political-ideological proselytism, within a causal-consecutive framework. The conclusions indicate that naming a place is not only an act of possession but also an act of propaganda, conveying the ideological or behavioral characteristics of the entity to which the name refers. |
