Silvana Bartoli"Le scelte di Cristina Trivulzio"Storia di un'emancipazioneOlschki Editorewww.olschki.itNata nel 1808 in una delle famiglie più facoltose dell'aristocrazia milanese, Cristina Trivulzio sembrava destinata a un'esistenza principesca; eppure, ella scelse di far un uso consapevole dei suoi privilegi per costruirsi una vita autonoma, lottando per la propria emancipazione e battendosi per la giustizia e la solidarietà nei confronti dei più deboli. Ad oggi, abbiamo ancora gran bisogno di una società che consideri il ‘pensiero solidale' valore edificante: la memoria di Cristina Trivulzio, e della sua indipendenza, costituisce un monito a un mondo tuttora restio a riconoscere il ruolo decisivo delle donne nella storia.«Con la fuga in Francia però, Cristina si sottraeva a una delle tradizioni più sacre e approdava agli "affari che non competono alla donna", superava la dipendenza dal marito e dal padre e anche il ruolo di ereditiera, ovvero di donna in vetrina per matrimoni strategici: passato il Varo diventava signora di se stessa [...] Il guado del fiume, che allora era la frontiera, fu anche lo spartiacque nella sua vita»Silvana Bartoli, si occupa di storia delle donne, con attenzione specifica alle tematiche riguardanti identità, memoria, istruzione – in ambito monastico e non – lungo i secoli XVI-XIX. Oltre ai saggi e alla cura di volumi collettivi, ha pubblicato le seguenti monografie: La felicità di una donna. Émilie du Châtelet tra Voltaire e Newton, 2017; Jacqueline Pascal, “Il coraggio delle fanciulle”, 2013; Le vite di Jacqueline Pascal, 2009; Angélique Arnauld, “Relazione su Port-Royal”, 2003 (Premio “Grazia Deledda”); La Madalena di Novara. Un convento e una città, 1995 (Premio “Il paese delle donne”). I saggi di storia locale hanno ricevuto il “Premio Fondazione BPN per il territorio”. Il primo incontro con la protagonista del presente libro risale alla stesura dell'articolo Cristina di Belgiojoso a Giacomo Giovanetti: lettere inedite dall'Archivio di Stato di Novara, in «La Nuova Antologia», 2009. - (dicembre 2024).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

What can the collapse of the Ottoman Empire teach us about the danger of the current discourse around migration? ‘Re-migration' is not a new concept conjured up by the far-right, but rather something that would be familiar to many Europeans of a century ago. What would those involved in these tragedies think of the direction […]

Our politicians don't agree on much, but one thing most of them agree on is that growth is universally good. Grow the pie, they assure us, and there will be more to go around.
