Pordenonelegge 2023

Pordenonelegge 2023, con la sua ventiquattresima edizione, è in programma nella città friulana dal 13 al 15 settembre e conta 570 ospiti italiani e internazionali, 334 appuntamenti e 65 libri presentati in anteprima. Sarà un evento quest’anno nel segno della leggerezza, nei libri e nella vita, perché ci sono cose leggere da leggere, ma anche perché l’interpretazione della realtà pone spesso di fronte a segnali ambigui, sempre più pervasivi, e a significati manipolabili. L’immagine delle piume è il simbolo dell’edizione 2023, nel centenario della nascita di Italo Calvino, a cui Pordenonelegge rende omaggio con un percorso di incontri. Pordenonelegge ha  l’inaugurazione affidata allo scrittore ucraino Andrei Kurkov, che ha appena pubblicato Diario di un’invasione e in anteprima assoluta presenta il nuovo romanzo Api grigie. Dalla Francia arrivano Laurent Mauvignier, Philippe Forest, Lydie Salvayre, Michel Bussi e Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt con la prima presentazione italiana della sua ultima riflessione in cui è custodita una lettera inedita all’autore di Papa Francesco. Oltre all’autrice Premio Nobel Annie Ernaux, che il 16 settembre riceverò al festival il Premio Crédit Agricole La storia in un romanzo, ci saranno Andrè Aciman, R. J. Palacio, Elisabet Benavent, Alberto Manguel, Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai; Michael Žantovský, Nino Haratischwili, Natasha Solomons, Michael Bible; Robert Perišić, Anil Seth, Sally Hayden, Ramin Bahrami. L’elenco delle grandi voci della letteratura, del pensiero e dello spettacolo al festival che hanno scelto Pordenonelegge 2023 per presentare i loro nuovi libri vede Michela Marzano, Emanuele Trevi, Viola Ardone, Paolo Di Paolo, Corrado Augias, Mauro Corona e molti altri. Saranno presenti inoltre Antonio Manzini, Giancarlo De Cataldo, Ilaria Tuti, Francesco Piccolo, Antonia Arslan, Mauro Covacich, Daniele Mencarelli, Giuseppe Culicchia, Tiziano Scarpa, Massimo Recalcati, Vittorio Sgarbi, Marco Balzano, Marcello Veneziani, Pier Aldo Rovatti, Giorgio Vallortigara, Ilaria Capua, Piergiorgio Odifreddi, Pietrangelo Buttafuoco, Toni Capuozzo, Vittorino Andreoli, Sandro Veronesi con Edoardo De Angelis, Malika Ayane, Dante Spinotti, Davide Toffolo, Sabina Guzzanti, Natalino Balasso, Massimo Cirri, Giuseppe Montesano, Matteo Lancini, Tullio Avoledo, Stefania Andreoli, Vittorio Bertola, Stefano Quintarelli, Nicola Gardini. Per le voci in dialogo, valore aggiunto del festival si confronteranno Marco Missiroli e Marco Cassardo, Andrea Molesini e Gianni Biondillo, Evelina Santangelo e Alberto Rollo, Romana Petri ed Elisabetta Rasy, Paola Mastrocola e Cristina Battocletti, Giorgio Nisini e Roberta Scorranese, Annalena Benini e Mariapia Veladiano, Matteo Bussola e Enrico Galiano, Elena Loewenthal e Franco Faggiani, Enrico Brizzi e Alessandra Selmi, Marco Malvaldi e Carlo Vecce, Romolo Bugaro e Maria Castellitto, Gabriella Caramore e Lidia Ravera, Alberto Casadei e Luca Doninelli, Sandrone Dazieri e Piergiorgio Pulixi.

[Giornata internazionale contro l'omofobia, la lesbofobia, la bifobia e la transfobia]

In occasione della Giornata internazionale contro l'omofobia, la lesbofobia, la bifobia e la transfobia vi proponiamo cinque libri che hanno affrontato il tema dell'omo/lesbo-bi-transfobia in Italia. 

Il 17 maggio del 1990 l’Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità OMS cancellava l’omosessualità dalla lista delle malattie mentali. Quindici anni più tardi, su iniziativa di Louis-Georges Tin, presidente del Comitato IDAHO e attivista per i diritti LGBT impegnato nella lotta contro omofobia e razzismo, venne istituita la prima Giornata internazionale contro l’omofobia. Si trattava della prima…

"Gerçekten, bir yılımız daha geçmişe karışıp gitmiş miydi? Hayallerimiz, umutlarımızı peşinde sürükleyerek. Her geçen gün bizi daha da öldürerek.

Ama gerçekten her şey gider miydi? Peki ya ruhlarımız? Sevgimiz? Ya sen? Sen de gider misin beni bırakıp? Sen benden uzaklaştıkça sana bağlanan beni, vücudundaki her karışı, her bir noktayı ezberlemiş olan beni.

   Ben unutmazdım aslında. İster yıllar geçsin, ister asırlar. Unutamam işte, dudağının hemen altındaki küçük benini, her zaman mahmur bakan gözlerini, ayrıca o alnına gece misali dökülen kâküllerini. Her biri aklımda birer sual işaretiyken -ki buna sen de dahilsin sevgilim. Sakın ola benden seni unutmamı isteme. Hoş, şu an da aklımdaki tek şey sensin.

Güneş doğmadan uyandığım bir sabahtı bugün. Kuşların şarkı söyler misali sesleri kulaklarıma yeni yeni dolarken ben de yeniden doğmuştum. Öyle bir doğuştu ki sana dair her şeyi unutturabilirdi bana...

Ve küçük bir not,

Seni seviyorum.

Sevgilerimle,

Âşığın, Chire"

Reminder that the Metropolotain Opera offers free Operas stream. Something to do during this quarantine, and why not show the kids some of them so they'll know what an opera is!

I've seen these versions of Macbeth and Le Barbier de Seville when they broadcasted them in a cinema close to where I lived at the time and enjoyed both very much, I highly recommend!

Allah Loves Equality di Wajahat Abbas Kazmi, Michele Benini ed Elena De Piccoli: si può essere gay e musulmani?

Allah Loves Equality di Wajahat Abbas Kazmi, Michele Benini ed Elena De Piccoli: si può essere gay e musulmani?

In origine Allah Loves Equality è nata come campagna di sensibilizzazione: infatti la foto di Wajahat Abbas Kazmi, attivista pakistano, con un cartello con la scritta “Allah loves equality”, scattata al Gay Pride di Roma, ha suscitato un vespaio di polemiche da parte di chi considera(va) essere omosessuali ed essere musulmani come due aspetti assolutamente inconciliabili.

[tmnotizie]

PESARO – Passaggio di consegne, in Provincia, tra il segretario generale Rita Benini ed il nuovo segretario Michele Cancellieri, che si insedierà lunedì 18 febbraio.

“In questi sette anni – evidenzia Rita Benini – ho traghettato la Provincia verso la trasformazione in ente di secondo livello, collaborando con due presidenti, Ricci e Tagliolini. Ho redatto lo Statuto dell’ente ed ho difeso, per quanto ho potuto, i principi di lealtà, trasparenza e giustizia verso persone e situazioni che mi è capitato di affrontare. Saluto il nuovo consiglio provinciale che si appresta ad iniziare la propria attività e ringrazio il presidente della Provincia Giuseppe Paolini per il gradito omaggio ed il biglietto di ringraziamenti a nome suo e dell’Amministrazione provinciale per la collaborazione da me data in questi anni alla Provincia”.

Michele Cancellieri, 59 anni, di Montecalvo in Foglia, è attualmente segretario generale del comune di Urbino. Laurea in Giurisprudenza, ha iniziato la sua attività come segretario nel 1988 in Comuni della provincia di Brescia, per poi tornare nel 1999 nel territorio della provincia di Pesaro e Urbino con incarichi in diverse amministrazioni.

“Ringrazio il presidente Giuseppe Paolini – dice Michele Cancellieri – per la fiducia che ha riposto in me. Affronterò questo nuovo incarico con impegno ed entusiasmo, animato, come sono sempre stato nel mio percorso professionale, da un serio spirito di collaborazione con amministratori e dipendenti. Da lunedì inizia per me una sfida importante, in un nuovo Ente che in questi anni sta vivendo un profondo mutamento e per questo necessita il massimo impegno di cui sarò capace”.

Nina Miranda - Freedom Of Movement; “The Cage and The Garden” video below

Nina Miranda has spent most of her life living in Brazil and London; her hotly awaited, first solo album is bursting with the dissonance and freedom of that experience. Perhaps best known as the vocalist for the UK based ensemble Smoke City, which began with DJ Producer Marc Brown and Nina and their hit, "Underwater Love" (with the help of Michel Gondry's Levi's advert in 1997, entitled 'Mermaids'), creating a worldwide sensation and paving the way for a new cross-cultural, genre-defying, underground to overground pop-sensibility. Miranda later joined Da Lata and became lead singer of the bands Shrift and Zeep. An integral member of the Trip Hop, Electronica, Brazilian and World Music scenes of the nineties, noughties and to date, Miranda has collaborated with numerous artists, including Nitin Sawhney, Basement Jaxx, Bebel Gilberto, Jah Wobble, Nação Zumbi, Baaba Maal, Troubleman, Seu Jorge & Gilles Peterson. Nina's music has been heard in film and television soundtracks worldwide, resulting in a cult following of fans who will be thrilled to see her stepping out solo with this voluminous, passionate offering of plurality and wonder. Freedom of Movement showcases a confection of influences: traditional rhythms of Bahia juxtaposed with urban bass-lines, the atmosphere of 1970s Santana & Osibisa is channelled along with the valorous grooves of Earth Wind & Fire and Sly & Robbie, the free spirit of les dames Grace Jones and Rita Lee, and the urban bite of The Specials and Ian Dury & The Blockheads. This solo outing also shows its political teeth, with a conscious galvanic call to action at this crucial time in our collective history. Finally out on her own, one of our finest vocalists marks herself as a singular talent, demonstrating that her international edge is more crucial than ever.

The Cage and The Garden. (1970 mix)

Thank you to all the contributos to making this music and film. It all started from an epiphany with 'Meatloaf' on the road, singing down to me, kindly from a cloud, when I was feeling shit.

But just look where it lead me, and who it introduced me to along the way, out of piss-puddles soar rainbows!
