Virginia Di Martino"Per ora basto a me stessa"Carolina Invernizio e i romanzi che leggeva mia nonnaManni Editoriwww.mannieditori.itUna docente di Letteratura italiana ritrova vecchi libri di sua nonna e legge i romanzi di Carolina Invernizio, prolifica autrice di enorme successo tra fine Ottocento e inizio Novecento. All'iniziale sensazione di distanza abissale subentra un'intimità via via crescente; la donna di oggi si rivolge alla scrittrice di ieri, dandole del tu e chiamandola per nome, inseguendola di pagina in pagina e scoprendo inaspettati legami tra quei libri un po' kitsch e i propri ricordi familiari.Condite da delitti, vendette, passioni inconfessabili, le vicende inverniziane, un colpo di scena dopo l'altro, delineano ritratti femminili che con amichevole confidenza fanno appassionare il lettore anche alle trame più scabrose e paradossali, lasciando intuire un velato messaggio talora rivoluzionario rivolto alle donne di cent'anni fa. Tra ragazze-madri "oneste", lavoratrici istruite e indipendenti, figlie in grado di dare sonore lezioni ai padri, pacifiche vecchine convinte che "gli uomini sono una massa di imbecilli", i romanzi di Invernizio presentano figure di eroine decisamente in anticipo rispetto ai tempi.Il diario di un saggio da scrivere diventa così una storia che tocca diversi piani temporali e che si legge come un romanzo, come “i romanzi che leggeva mia nonna”.Virginia di MartinoÈ nata nel 1979 a Castellammare di Stabia, dove vive. Insegna Letteratura italiana moderna e contemporanea presso l'Università Federico II di Napoli.Ha pubblicato libri di critica letteraria e saggi su vari autori tra cui Arrigo Boito, Ungaretti, Montale, Saba, Primo Levi, Lalla Romano, Calvino.Il suo ultimo volume è Sul fuoco.

RtB loves the present-day shadows cast by neglected books, which can suddenly loom up out of the backlit past. So, you won't be shocked to know that John has also been editing a Public Books column called B-Side Books. In it, around 50 writers (Ursula Le Guin was one) have made the case for un-forgetting a beloved book. Now, there is a book that collects 40 of these columns. Find it as your local bookstore, or Columbia University Press, or Bookshop, (or even Amazon). Like our podcast, B-Side Books focuses on those moments when books topple off their shelves, open up, and start bellowing at you. The one that enthralled Merve Emre (Wesleyan professor and author ofsuch terrific works as The Personality Brokers) was a novella by the luminous midcentury Italian pessimist, Natalia Ginzburg. And if you think you know precisely why a mid-century Italian writer would have a dark and bitter view of the world (already thinking of the Nazi shadows in work by Italo Calvino, Primo Levi and Giorgio Bassani) Ginzburg's The Dry Heart will have you thinking again. Merve Emre, Ginzburg fan and B-Side author Merve started her piece, and we started this 2023 conversation, by asking that age-old question: “When should a woman kill her husband?” Mentioned in This Episode J. W. Goethe, Sorrows of Young Werther (1774) Michael Warner, “Uncritical Reading” Natalia Ginzburg. The Little Virtues (personal essays that do not stage an excessive evacuation of the self, but instead triangulate between reader, writer and object of concern…) Elena Ferrante, The Neapolitan Novels Fleur Jaeggy, Sweet Days of Discipline and These Possible Lives Rachel Ingals Mrs. Caliban (1982) Read transcript here Learn more about your ad choices.

Benjamin Netanyahu sogna una nuova Nakba. È la grammatica della forza, mentre in Israele i familiari delle vittime annunciano scioperi e blocchi per forzare un compromesso. A Gaza l'offensiva non si ferma: vengono colpite anche aree dichiarate “sicure” come Muwasi, i bambini continuano a morire, la fame è diventata struttura, l'acqua è contaminata, le malattie corrono. È il risultato di un assedio che ha trasformato la sopravvivenza in concessione politica. Nel frattempo riemergono le parole dell'ex capo dell'intelligence militare Aharon Haliva: per ogni vita spezzata il 7 ottobre “cinquanta palestinesi devono morire”, “anche se sono bambini”, “serve una Nakba ogni tanto”. Non sono scivoloni: sono la verbalizzazione di una dottrina. Il castigo collettivo come metodo, la morte civile di un popolo come prezzo accettabile. Quando il lessico della vendetta diventa politica, il genocidio smette di essere un'accusa e diventa la logica conseguenza. All'orrore sistemico si affianca una scena che resta negli occhi: il giurista Ghanem Al-Attar cammina alla ricerca d'acqua, vestito con la cura di chi rifiuta di consegnarsi al fango. È la lezione di Primo Levi attraverso il signor Steinlauf: lavarsi nel poco, tenere la schiena dritta, negare il consenso al carnefice. Dignità come ultimo diritto fondamentale. Per questo l'Europa non può più barattare il proprio silenzio con condizionali diplomatici. Servono sanzioni efficaci, embargo sulle armi, riconoscimento giuridico dei crimini in corso. Chiamare genocidio ciò che coincide con i suoi elementi costitutivi non è un abuso del linguaggio: è un dovere. Il resto è fuffa criminale. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

As a Jewish and openly gay artist, Cagli became the target of virulent attacks, especially after Italy promulgated its racial laws in 1938. In response to these hostile conditions, Cagli chose to leave his homeland and seek refuge in the United States. In America, he became an influential figure within the New York émigré artistic scene. He found camaraderie among the Neo-romantic milieu centered around the Julian Levy Gallery and the Wadsworth Atheneum. Cagli actively participated in the environment of anti-Breton surrealists of View magazine and became a part of a foundational moment in gay culture in New York, collaborating with other artists working for the Ballet Society and Harper's Bazaar, and exhibiting at Alexander Iolas's gallery. Throughout his ten-year stay in America, Cagli continued to produce and exhibit drawings, a medium that allowed him to interrogate and critique fascist rhetoric. Learn more about your ad choices.

What does it mean to truly witness someone else's pain? In this episode, Zvi Hirschfield and Rabbi Dr. Daniel Reifman explore the Book of Eicha through the lens of bearing witness to tragedy. As Tisha B'Av approaches, they examine the voice of Jerusalem calling out to be seen, the theological complexity of God as both punisher and consoler, and the modern relevance of survivor testimony—from Eicha to Primo Levi to October 7. The conversation asks what it means to see, hear, and remember in moments of devastation.

Nikoli več je zaobljuba, ki še vedno vztraja med govori ob obletnicah grozodejstev, medtem ko v vsakdanjem življenju izgublja še zadnje ostanke pomena. “Zgodilo se je, torej se lahko spet zgodi.” Te besede je v knjigi Potopljeni in rešeni pred skoraj štirimi desetletji zapisal Primo Levi, preživela priča nacističnih taborišč, eden ključnih popisovalcev grozot holokavsta. To poletje pa izraelska oblast razpravlja o vzpostavitvi humanitarnega mesta na severu Gaze. V mednarodni javnosti in izraelski opoziciji so to označili kot evfemizem za koncentracijsko taborišče. Upe na boljši jutri medtem polagamo, skupaj z odgovornostjo, na mlade, vključno z maturanti, ki pa jim pri tem nič kaj prida ne pomagamo.Viri: Informativne oddaje Radia Slovenija, New York Times, I’m a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It, Ars humana, Peter Klepec – "vzdušje, ki prevladuje v današnji družbi, je zelo slabo", Delo, Že 20 let se vrtimo okoli enega odstotka namakanih zemljišč.

Primo Levi is the modern conscience of Europe. Yet our culture warriors downgrade his searing witness to Auschwitz into just another lesson in victimhood or, worse, try and downplay the significance of the holocaust into one of many. This lecture we restores Levi's grim brilliance – and expose today's relativists who would rather talk about “systems” than evil.

Can we ever really know Primo Levi? We know his books, of course, especially If This Is A Man, the astonishing account of his survival from Auschwitz. But what, then, of his apparent suicide in 1987? How can a man who miraculously survived Auschwitz take his own life forty years later? That's one of the questions that Joseph Olshan asks in Milo's Reckoning, a new novel about Levi, suicide and our own unknowability. Olshan, himself deeply affected by Primo Levi's death when he first heard the news during a newspaper interview in Italy, explores the profound mystery of human nature and the limits of what we can truly understand about others, even those, like Levi, whose experiences have been supposedly laid bare in their autobiographical work. 5 takeaways1. Suicide is often impulsive, not premeditated Most suicides happen in the spur of the moment when people "snap" under pressure, rather than being carefully planned decisions. The majority don't even leave notes, contrary to popular belief.2. Personal trauma shaped Olshan's literary obsessions Olshan's lifelong fascination with suicide stems from witnessing a child's drowning at age six, followed by the suicides of an influential college professor and his aunt - experiences that ultimately inspired Milo's Reckoning.3. We can never fully know another person Even when someone writes intimately about their experiences, as Levi did about Auschwitz, we still can't truly understand their inner life or predict their future actions - hence the shock of Levi's apparent suicide.4. Language barriers limit authentic cultural understanding Olshan argues that American writers who spend brief periods abroad without knowing the local language cannot authentically capture those cultures, emphasizing the importance of linguistic fluency for true cultural insight.5. Too much self-knowledge may be dangerous Olshan suggests that suicide might result from excessive self-awareness - people who contemplate life's inequities and their own perceived deficiencies too deeply may become overwhelmed by the world's suffering and their place in it.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Hiam Abbas et Jean-Baptiste Sastre dirigent une trentaine de jeunes comédiens et comédiennes dans L'écriture ou la vie, un projet franco-allemand, adapté du livre de Jorge Semprún.  Témoigner de l'expérience des camps de concentration et d'extermination nazis : Jorge Semprún le fait en 1994 avec l'Écriture ou la vie, près de quarante ans après la libération des camps. Le premier titre du livre à l'origine était «L'écriture ou la mort», l'idée de l'écriture de ce livre lui apparait en 1987, le jour de la mort de Primo Levi. Un texte pour raconter l'impératif de la mémoire, pour ne pas oublier. C'est aussi un appel à la puissance de la vie.  Qui témoigne aujourd'hui ? Qui va pouvoir parler ? Qui de mieux que la jeunesse ?  Jean-Baptiste SASTRE Dans cette mise en scène, les metteurs en scène ont confié le texte à trente jeunes comédiens, français et allemands, qui n'avaient jamais fait de théâtre. Le spectacle a été créé à Avignon il y a deux ans et a également été joué sur les lieux mêmes de la déportation, à Buchenwald. La première chose qu'on dit à ces jeunes qui jouent, c'est "Mettez de la vie dedans!", c'est ce que voulait Jorge Semprún.  Hiam Abbas   Le spectacle est raconté en deux langues : en allemand et en français. Il était important de mettre en avant les deux langues : Jorge Semprún était parfaitement germanophone et c'est peut-être ce qu'il lui a permis de rester en vie.  Jorge Semprún (1923-2011) était un écrivain, intellectuel, résistant et homme politique espagnol. Il est né à Madrid et a fui la guerre civile espagnole. Résistant pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il est déporté à Buchenwald en septembre 943. Après la libération et la guerre, il milite au sein du Parti Communiste espagnol qu'il quitte en 1964. Il devient ministre de la Culture en Espagne de 1988 à 1991. Il a consacré une grande partie de son œuvre à la mémoire, à ses mois passés dans le camp de Buchenwald mais aussi à son engagement pour lutter contre les régimes totalitaires.  Je suis emprisonné, car je suis un homme libre  Jorge Sempun  À écouter aussiAnniversaire de la libération du camp de Buchenwald   Parmi ses œuvres, figurent  :  - Le grand voyage  - L'écriture ou la vie  - Quel beau dimanche !   Invités :  - Hiam Abbas est une comédienne, photographe et metteuse en scène franco-israélo-palestinienne.

Curated by Enrico Fink, Shirat Hayam: The Song of the Sea (Centro Primo Levi, 2023) inaugurates the Erna Finci Viterbi Chàzanut Roundtable, a workshop and program series on Italian Jewish music and liturgy established by Centro Primo Levi in memory of a dear friend and board member whose love for tradition and dedication to learning have profoundly contributed to shape the center's principles. This project aims at facilitating new recordings of Italian and Mediterranean cantorial music and circulating the existing ones. Publications, recordings and essays collected for this program are available through the Online Thesaurus of Italian Jewish Music (www.jewishitalianmusic.org) designed to provide tools to those interested in learning, practicing or simply enjoying this art, including scholars, musicians, cantors and bar/bat-mitzvà students wishing to include some of this beautiful music in their liturgical repertoire. The Thesaurus was created by Centro Leo Levi in collaboration with Centro Primo Levi, and the generous contribution of the Viterbi family of San Diego. It is being developed in collaboration with the Jewish Music Research Center of the University of Jerusalem and in partnership with the National Library of Israel, CDEC, and the Fondazione Beni Culturali Ebraici Italiani. Sharing and participating were among Erna's most cherished values and she regarded them as an indispensable foundation of human relations and endeavors. For centuries, partaking in the communal prayer through the knowledge of its musical canons and variations has been an essential component of Jewish life. The repertoires that flourished in small communities throughout the Mediterranean reflect trade, travels and exchanges and resulted in a tapestry of sounds that, still preserved within local communities, can become an inspiration outside of their native environment.

É Isto um Homem? A Descoberta de Primo Levi no Inferno de AuschwitzPessach 5785

Dedicated to the memory of both his father Achille and his son Alexander, Andrew J. Viterbi's memoir reconstructs the course of his academic career at a time in which technology played a major role in a radical reshaping of the world's economy and society. Attuned to the post-war growing technological needs of government and population, Viterbi and his colleagues began to work in an area where scientific research and capitalistic enterprise could support one another. His main contribution to science, the Viterbi Algorithm, found application in different fields, ultimately leading up to the co-founding of Qualcomm, which became one of the most important communication companies worldwide. His father came from an intellectual but impoverished youth, and imbued family life with the principles of education and social responsibility. Family politics in America were very much in tune with the Democratic party of Franklin Roosevelt, who had favored the poor over the wealthy in raising the nation out of the Depression. Considering his embrace of capitalism, which he sees as a force that incentivizes people to strive to achieve the best of their ability, Viterbi holds firmly to the values of social equality and reform, advocating for equitable taxation, universal education and affordable healthcare.

Dedicated to the memory of both his father Achille and his son Alexander, Andrew J. Viterbi's memoir reconstructs the course of his academic career at a time in which technology played a major role in a radical reshaping of the world's economy and society. Attuned to the post-war growing technological needs of government and population, Viterbi and his colleagues began to work in an area where scientific research and capitalistic enterprise could support one another. His main contribution to science, the Viterbi Algorithm, found application in different fields, ultimately leading up to the co-founding of Qualcomm, which became one of the most important communication companies worldwide.

Há também um monumental “Dicionário Crítico da Revolução Liberal Portuguesa”. Os ensaios de Pierre Alferi reunidos no volume “Breves Discursos”. E “Uma Leitura do Génesis”, de Marylinne Robinson.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

El símbolo más reconocido y perdurable del holocausto es el campo de concentración de Auschwitz-Birkenau. Se encontraba ubicado cerca de la ciudad de Oświęcim, en el sur de la Polonia ocupada. Auschwitz comenzó como un simple campo de concentración para encarcelar a prisioneros de guerra. Los alemanes se encontraron en 1939 durante la invasión de Polonia con unos barracones que habían pertenecido en el pasado al ejército austrohúngaro, y los aprovecharon como centro de detención. Pero, dada su ubicación y lo bien conectado que estaba por ferrocarril con el resto de Europa, pronto evolucionó hacia un complejo de exterminio y trabajo esclavo de dimensiones gigantescas. A lo largo de la guerra fue expandiéndose con nuevos campos como el de Birkenau, especializado en las labores de exterminio, y el de Monowitz, creado por las empresa alemana IG Farben para explotar a los reclusos en régimen de trabajo esclavo. En torno a estos tres grandes complejos se extendía una abigarrada red de subcampos. Oficialmente era un campo de trabajo y así fue como nació de manos de las SS en 1940. Para ello los nazis dispusieron en la entrada del más antiguo de todos un arco con un lema que decía "Arbeit macht frei" ("El trabajo libera”). Pero a Auschwitz los prisioneros iban más a morir que a trabajar. Con el avance de la guerra y la adopción de la solución final por parte de las autoridades alemanas, se transformó en la pieza central de la máquina de exterminio nazi. Millones de personas, en su mayor parte judíos, pero también gitanos, prisioneros de guerra polacos y soviéticos, presos políticos, homosexuales y discapacitados, fueron deportados a Auschwitz desde toda la Europa ocupada. Hacinados en vagones de ganado, su inmensa mayoría llegaban a este lugar sin saber el destino que les esperaba. Al bajarse del tren, eran sometidos a una brutal selección: los considerados aptos para el trabajo eran enviados a los campos de trabajo forzado, donde eran explotados hasta la extenuación. Los demás, la gran mayoría, eran conducidos directamente a las cámaras de gas, donde eran asesinados con Zyklon B y luego incinerados en hornos crematorios. Las condiciones de vida en Auschwitz eran inhumanas. Hambre, enfermedades, frío extremo, hacinamiento y trabajos extenuantes eran parte de la rutina diaria. La violencia y la crueldad de los guardias de las SS eran omnipresentes y la muerte acechaba en cada rincón. A pesar del horror cotidiano hubo resistencia y solidaridad dentro de sus muros. Muchos prisioneros arriesgaron su vida para ayudarse mutuamente, organizaron redes para obtener información del exterior, planear fugas y documentar los crímenes que se estaban cometiendo. Las primeras noticias de lo que estaba pasando en Auschwitz llegaron a los aliados en 1942. Se plantearon bombardearlo, pero las urgencias de la guerra y la poca precisión de los bombarderos de la época obligaron a abandonar el plan. Años más tarde, el 27 de enero de 1945, las tropas soviéticas liberaron Auschwitz cuando avanzaban hacia Alemania. No esperaban encontrarse algo así. Se dieron de bruces con miles de prisioneros enfermos y moribundos. Fue entonces cuando el mundo conoció la magnitud del horror: montañas de cadáveres, cámaras de gas, crematorios, testimonios desgarradores de los supervivientes. Auschwitz se convirtió en un símbolo del genocidio y una advertencia sobre los peligros del odio, el racismo y la intolerancia. Hoy en día, Auschwitz es un gran museo al aire libre para que las generaciones futuras no olviden lo que sucedió allí. Los visitantes pueden caminar por los barracones, ver las cámaras de gas y los crematorios que aún permanecen en pie, como un testimonio silencioso de una tragedia que nunca debería volver a repetirse.

Una donna che ha superato i 40 anni diventa madre. Un evento sicuramente potente che spiazza e che trasforma. Un evento che fa diventare il ricordo di una bisnonnax, che aveva passato alcuni giorni in un manicomio, quasi un'ossessione: ricostruire la sua storia diventa un'urgenza. Un evento che stimola riflessioni su come la scrittura, ossia l'arte di creare l'immaginario, possa cambiare dopo aver vissuto l'esperienza di un'altra creazione, la nascita di un figlio. La donna in questione è la scrittrice Nadia Terranova che racconta tutto questo nel romanzo "Quello che so di te" (Guanda). Fin da bambina gli è apparsa in sogno la bisnonna Venera, ma è nel momento in cui diventa madre che il legame con questa bisnonna diventa prepotente: "Sono abituata a pensare a Venera come al mio doppio, un fantasma vivo, un assalto alla mia coscienza". Da qui la necessità di capire come e perché questa bisnonna aveva passato alcuni giorni in un manicomio nel 1928. Un'indagine portata avanti attraverso archivi e documenti che cercano di far luce sulle voci che erano state invece tramandate in famiglia, quella che l'autrice chiama la "mitologia familiare" che a volte svela, a volte nasconde, a volte addirittura depista. Nella seconda parte parliamo di "Primavera estate autunno inverno" (Salani) di Nicola Magrin, autore delle copertine dei romanzi di Paolo Cognetti e delle ripubblicazioni di Primo Levi e Tiziano Terzani. Leggere e guardare questo libro illustrato vuol dire entrare in un mondo di atmosfere rarefatte e nello stesso tempo intense. Significa entrare in un mondo in cui le parole giocano con le immagini. Gli acquerelli di Nicola Magrin dialogano con gli haiku scelti e tradotti da Irene Iarocci. Gli haiku sono piccoli componimenti poetici di tre versi della tradizione giapponese, versi dai toni semplici che fanno spesso riferimento alla natura. Il legame fra parole, acquerelli e natura era stato già al centro di un altro libro di Nicola Magrin "Altri voli con le nuvole".

Mine Is The Golden Tongue: The Hebrew Sonnets Of Immanuel Of Rome (Centro Primo Levi, 2023) contains the first known sonnets written in Hebrew. Their author is Immanuel of Rome, an intensely studied yet little-known 14th-century poet, who adapted the quantitative meter of Arabic and Hebrew poetry from al-Andalous to the syllabic meter of romance poetry. These poems are part of Immanuel's most studied book, Maḥbarot, a collection of poetic tales conceived between satire and allegory, which combine the Arabic maqama with the stilnovistic poetic form immortalized by Dante. Widely published during its author's lifetime and in the following centuries, the Maḥbarot as a whole has never been translated into any language. Immanuel lived in the Papal city during a period of great turmoil between the communal experience and the Papal exile to Avignon. He moved with ease in the Roman Jewish and non-Jewish worlds that were actively involved in translation. Writing in a milieu where Hebrew, Latin, Arabic, Greek, and the vernaculars were concurrent languages, Immanuel left us brilliant verses in Hebrew and vernacular. He was an admired biblical commentator whose references spanned from the Talmud and Maimonides to Aristotelian and neo-Platonic philosophy. Learn more about your ad choices.

This bonus episode of Judaism Unbound is presented in partnership with Theatre Dybbuk. We are proud to feature their fourth season's fourth episode as a bonus episode here on Judaism Unbound's feed. In each episode, they bring poems, plays, and other creative texts from throughout history to life, all while revealing their relationships to issues still present today. Subscribe to The Dybbukast on Apple Podcasts, or anywhere else that podcasts are found.------------------------Presented in collaboration with The Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life at UC Berkeley, we explore "Lilith," a short story by Primo Levi, featured in his 1981 collection, Moments of Reprieve. Dr. Francesco Spagnolo, Curator of The Magnes Collection and Professor of Music and Jewish Studies at UC Berkeley, discusses the ways in which "Lilith," with its combination of memoiristic storytelling, sharply drawn characters, and mythic resonances, speaks not only to the work Levi created throughout his career but to Italian Jewish history and beyond.
