Nel 1978 ottiene al Salone Internazionale dei Comics di Lucca il prestigioso Yellow Kid quale miglior autore italiano. Negli anni immediatamente successivi dà vita, con Marco Tomatis, a numerosi personaggi, come Isolina o Lea Martelli, primo esempio di fumetto seriale pubblicato su un settimanale femminile ad ampia tiratura. Nel 1984 nasce Solange, le cui avventure vengono pubblicate in numerosi paesi europei. Contemporaneamente si occupa di divulgazione a fumetti. In questo campo ottiene nel 1986, con Luca Novelli, il premio Andersen per la divulgazione scientifica. La crisi del fumetto d'autore la porta ad esplorare nuovi settori in cui agire e lavorare. Intensifica così l'attività di illustratrice, soprattutto nel campo dell'editoria per bambini e ragazzi, collaborando con le maggiori case editrici italiane. Nel 2003 le viene conferito il Caran d'Ache quale miglior illustratore dell'anno. Si dedica con successo anche alla pittura. Mostre monotematiche la vedono esporre in tutta Italia. In questo modo, i versi di Pavese, il dialetto siciliano di Buttitta, i testi che mutano attraverso le differenti traduzioni di Edgar Lee Master, le canzoni di Fabrizio de Andrè, le posture delle donne che variano a seconda dell'autore che stanno leggendo, entrano a far parte del suo immaginario dipinto. Cinzia Ghigliano inoltre è docente di illustrazione e fumetto presso la Libera accademia d'arte Novalia. Nel 2016 il libro LEI. Vivian Maier, inaugura la sua collaborazione con Orecchio Acerbo Editore e le vale il premio Andersen quale “Miglior Libro fatto ad arte”.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Guia Risari, Sergio Olivetti"Mirabasso e Altamira"Edizioni Lapiswww.edizionilapis.itQualche tempo fa, su una collina rotonda, sorgeva la città di Mirabasso. Gli abitanti avevano una strana abitudine: passavano l'intera giornata a fissare il proprio ombelico. Lo fissavano da mattina a sera: era il loro chiodo fisso. Per loro, distrarsi da quel bottoncino e guardare altrove era un crimine.Proprio sulla collina di fronte a Mirabasso, sorgeva la cittadina di Altamira. Lì, gli abitanti avevano una passione altrettanto curiosa: fissavano continuamente il cielo. Questo infondeva loro grande allegria e speranza, tanto che mantenevano la stessa posizione in ogni occasione.Tra Mirabasso e Altamira non correva buon sangue: gli abitanti di Mirabasso consideravano irresponsabile il modo di vivere degli abitanti di Altamira, mentre questi ultimi pensavano che gli altri non sapessero godersi le gioie della vita. Le due città erano separate da un fiume, ma soprattutto dalle loro inconciliabili visioni del mondo.Di conflitti veri e propri non ce n'erano mai stati, ma un giorno di pioggia, a Mirabasso, cominciò a circolare la voce che fossero stati gli abitanti di Altamira a causare il maltempo. Da Mirabasso partì allora un messaggero con l'ordine di intimare ad Altamira di ritirare le nuvole o di prepararsi al peggio...Sorridere di una guerra si può, quando mostri il suo lato ridicolo e ottuso. Disarmarla anche, coltivando un terreno d'incontro, pieno di promesse e futuro.Guia RisariNata nel 1971 a Milano, si è laureata in Filosofia Morale all'Università Statale con una tesi su Jean Améry, lavorando come educatrice e giornalista per L'Unità.

Guia Risari, Elena Baboni"Viaggio di un bacio"Edizioni Lapiswww.edizionilapis.itUn testo poetico sull'amore che placa i conflitti, viaggiando sulle campagne e le città e unendo persone, cose, animali. Un messaggio di speranza e un frammento di utopia in un tempo che troppo spesso propone il disaccordo e l'aggressione come uniche possibili risposte alla differenza.Due petali si fondono e danno vita a un bacio che col vento si disperde. È da questo incontro fortuito e fortunato che prende il via un viaggio che durerà un giorno intero.Lieve e taciturno, eppure forte abbastanza da percorrere chilometri, il bacio s'innalza a sorvolare stagni, vigneti, piazze e sentieri, in una corrente d'irresistibile armonia.Nel segno del bacio il calabrone rumoroso scopre l'animo pacifico della libellula, e il filo d'erba, pronto a essere reciso, finisce teneramente sfiorato dalla falce; due fiotti d'acqua si uniscono a formare un'unica sorgente fresca e limpida; il contadino cessa ogni ostilità con la venditrice d'uova; le note di una melodia scordata risuonano nel più emozionante dei concerti.l bacio viaggia lontano e pacifica ogni popolo, ogni territorio. L'ultima tappa del viaggio è il tetto di una casa. Da lì, il bacio culla col suo canto un bimbo agitato fino al sonno.Guia RisariNata nel 1971 a Milano, si è laureata in Filosofia Morale all'Università Statale con una tesi su Jean Améry, lavorando come educatrice e giornalista per L'Unità.

Guia Risari"Non temere"Illustrazioni di Daniela TieniEdizioni Lapishttps://edizionilapis.it«Guardati attorno, attento a ogni cosa, curioso e felice e prendi il futuro per mano.»Un dialogo poetico tra un adulto e un bambino sui vari elementi che compongono l'universo. Un invito a non aver paura di aspetti della natura che possono spaventare di primo acchito, ma che in realtà regalano scoperte e piaceri. Un'esplorazione poetica ed emozionata del mondo che ci circonda, dissipa le ombre e illumina i tratti più benevoli della natura e dell'esistenza.La voce narrante invita il piccolo lettore a non temere la notte, suggerendo piuttosto di parlare alla luna e cantare alle stelle. Non devono impressionare le rocce appuntite né la grandine o il ghiaccio. Non sono minacce il bosco, per quanto oscuro e intricato possa sembrare, né la montagna coi suoi picchi. Nemmeno il vento deve far paura, anche se attorciglia i capelli e abbatte castelli di carte, perché mescola l'aria e disegna storie col respiro.Una lettura perfetta per chi voglia cimentarsi a descrivere il mondo giocando con le proprie emozioni. Un albo che porta a osservare quel che è intorno a noi con occhi diversi, partecipi e profondi.Età di lettura dai 5 anniGuia Risari, nata a Milano, si è laureata in Filosofia Morale all'Università Statale con una tesi su Jean Améry, lavorando come educatrice e giornalista per L'Unità.

Nasconde il materiale in grandi borse della spesa, nelle calze, e lo consegna ai combattenti. Rischia grosso e ha paura, ma continua. Luce nasce il 30 ottobre 1922, lo stesso giorno in cui si conclude la Marcia su Roma e Mussolini viene nominato Primo Ministro. I genitori la chiamano così perché possa risplendere anche nel buio che sta per inghiottire l'Italia, e la crescono ripetendole un solo monito: alza la testa! Non farti spaventare, segui le tue convinzioni. Ed è ciò che farà Luce quando, qualche anno più tardi, soccorrerà un giovane partigiano ferito ed entrerà nella Resistenza.Guia Risari è nata nel 1971 a Milano, dove ha compiuto studi classici e si è laureata in Filosofia Morale all'Università Statale, lavorando come educatrice e giornalista per "L'Unità".

Scrive perciò pagine di ricordi, in cui parla della sua gioventù, del matrimonio, dei tempi in cui ricamava e lottava per opporsi allo sfruttamento.Ispirato a una storia vera, il romanzo racconta la grande mobilitazione femminile del ‘68 a Santa Caterina Villarmosa, un piccolo paese della Sicilia, dove le ricamatrici si opposero agli intermediari che le sottopagavano.La protesta delle donne portò all'approvazione, nel 1973, di una legge a tutela del lavoro a domicilio.Il racconto restituisce la tenacia, il coraggio e l'intelligenza di queste lavoratrici che hanno osato alzare la testa.Guia Risari è nata nel 1971 a Milano, dove ha compiuto studi classici e si è laureata in Filosofia Morale all'Università Statale con una tesi su Jean Améry, lavorando come educatrice e giornalista per "L'Unità".

Affronta il tema da punti di vista differenti e attraverso tutti i generi letterari, con un'attenzione particolare alla narrativa per l'infanzia e l'adolescenza, italiana e internazionale, che contribuisce allo sviluppo di un immaginario libero da stereotipi.La violenza maschile contro le donne non è un'emergenza improvvisa ma un fenomeno strutturale delle società che va affrontato a partire da un approccio pedagogico e culturale che proponga modelli non discriminatori di educazione paritaria. Per questo, Settenove lavora sugli ostacoli culturali e sociali che, in forme diverse, legittimano la violenza.Settenove vuole essere non solo un'editrice, ma una casa per i suoi lettori e le sue lettrici, di tutte le età, con i quali costruire relazioni, percorsi e strumenti educativi.La parola chiave del catalogo di Settenove è propositività: far luce sulle discriminazioni, promuovere l'educazione paritaria e incoraggiare la visibilità di modelli positivi di collaborazione e rispetto. Coinvolgendo uomini e donne.Il nome Settenove.Settenove è un riferimento diretto all'anno 1979. Un anno importante, durante il quale le Nazioni Unite hanno adottato la CEDAW, la Convenzione Onu per l'eliminazione di ogni forma di discriminazione e violenza contro le donne, che per la prima volta individua nello stereotipo di genere il seme della violenza.Nel 1979 in Italia la Rai ebbe l'audacia di mandare in onda il documentario Processo per stupro, di Loredana Rotondo.Nello stesso anno, per la prima volta, una donna, Nilde Iotti, divenne presidente della Camera, assumendo la terza carica dello stato.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Guia Risari"La Terra respira"Illustrazioni di Alessandro SannaEdizioni Lapishttps://www.edizionilapis.it/Un giorno, due fratellini sentono i battiti di un cuore: “La terra respira. Ce ne siamo accorti ieri, appoggiando un orecchio al suolo. Abbiamo sentito chiaramente il battito del suo cuore – tum, tum, tum ”. Superando il timore inziale di fronte a una scoperta così grande, i due fratellini cominciano a guardarsi intorno con occhi diversi, immaginando che la terra, proprio come loro, abbia un corpo vivo e pulsante. Decidono così di mettersi in cammino per conoscerla meglio. Il lago che vedono dalla finestra ha la forma di un orecchio: sarà l'orecchio della Terra? E il bosco? Sarà un ciuffo di capelli. Salgono sulle colline, che sono le guance della terra, e sulle montagne aguzze, che sono i gomiti della terra. Dormono all'ombra degli alberi e si dissetano nei torrenti: le vene della terra. Arrivano infine al mare, esplorandone le profondità brulicanti di vita e lì, ancora una volta, sentono quel battito da cui tutto è cominciato. Centinaia di battiti, lontani e potenti. Ma ora non hanno più paura: il cuore della Terra non è in un posto preciso; è dappertutto. Basta seguirlo.Risari GuiaNata nel 1971 a Milano, si è laureata in Filosofia Morale all'Università Statale con una tesi su Jean Améry, lavorando come educatrice e giornalista per L'Unità.

New York City's Lower East Side has witnessed a severe decline in its Jewish population in recent decades, yet every morning in the big room of the city's oldest yeshiva, students still gather to study the Talmud beneath the great arched windows facing out onto East Broadway. In Yeshiva Days: Learning on the Lower East Side (Princeton University Press, 2020), Jonathan Boyarin presents a uniquely personal account of the year he spent as both student and observer at Mesivtha Tifereth Jerusalem, and a poignant chronicle of a side of Jewish life that outsiders rarely see. Boyarin explores the yeshiva's relationship with the neighborhood, the city, and Jewish and American culture more broadly, and brings vividly to life its routines, rituals, and rhythms. He describes the compelling and often colorful personalities he encounters each day, and introduces readers to the Rosh Yeshiva, or Rebbi, the moral and intellectual head of the yeshiva. Boyarin reflects on the tantalizing meanings of "study for its own sake" in the intellectually vibrant world of traditional rabbinic learning, and records his fellow students' responses to his negotiation of the daily complexities of yeshiva life while he also conducts anthropological fieldwork. A richly mature work by a writer of uncommon insight, wit, and honesty, Yeshiva Days is the story of a place on the Lower East Side with its own distinctive heritage and character, a meditation on the enduring power of Jewish tradition and learning, and a record of a different way of engaging with time and otherness. Jonathan Boyarin is the Diann G. and Thomas A. Mann Professor of Modern Jewish Studies at Cornell University. His books include Jewish Families, Mornings at the Stanton Street Shul: A Summer on the Lower East Side, and The Unconverted Self: Jews, Indians, and the Identity of Christian Europe. Schneur Zalman Newfield is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Borough of Manhattan Community College, City University of New York, and the author of Degrees of Separation: Identity Formation While Leaving Ultra-Orthodox Judaism (Temple University Press, 2020).

New York City's Lower East Side has witnessed a severe decline in its Jewish population in recent decades, yet every morning in the big room of the city's oldest yeshiva, students still gather to study the Talmud beneath the great arched windows facing out onto East Broadway. In Yeshiva Days: Learning on the Lower East Side (Princeton University Press, 2020), Jonathan Boyarin presents a uniquely personal account of the year he spent as both student and observer at Mesivtha Tifereth Jerusalem, and a poignant chronicle of a side of Jewish life that outsiders rarely see. Boyarin explores the yeshiva's relationship with the neighborhood, the city, and Jewish and American culture more broadly, and brings vividly to life its routines, rituals, and rhythms. He describes the compelling and often colorful personalities he encounters each day, and introduces readers to the Rosh Yeshiva, or Rebbi, the moral and intellectual head of the yeshiva. Boyarin reflects on the tantalizing meanings of "study for its own sake" in the intellectually vibrant world of traditional rabbinic learning, and records his fellow students' responses to his negotiation of the daily complexities of yeshiva life while he also conducts anthropological fieldwork. A richly mature work by a writer of uncommon insight, wit, and honesty, Yeshiva Days is the story of a place on the Lower East Side with its own distinctive heritage and character, a meditation on the enduring power of Jewish tradition and learning, and a record of a different way of engaging with time and otherness. Jonathan Boyarin is the Diann G. and Thomas A. Mann Professor of Modern Jewish Studies at Cornell University. His books include Jewish Families, Mornings at the Stanton Street Shul: A Summer on the Lower East Side, and The Unconverted Self: Jews, Indians, and the Identity of Christian Europe. Schneur Zalman Newfield is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Borough of Manhattan Community College, City University of New York, and the author of Degrees of Separation: Identity Formation While Leaving Ultra-Orthodox Judaism (Temple University Press, 2020).
