How To Get To Marwell Zoo By Bus

I Nativi Americani e la cultura sciamanica, con Marco Massignan


"Questo noi sappiamo: la terra non appartiene all'uomo, è l'uomo che appartiene alla terra. Tutte le cose sono collegate, come il sangue che unisce una famiglia. Non è stato l'uomo a tessere la tela della vita, egli ne è soltanto un filo. Qualunque cosa egli faccia alla tela, lo fa a se stesso."
In poche righe, tratte dal discorso di capo Seattle del 1850, è racchiusa la sapienza dei nativi americani, una cultura fatta di riti, credenze ed esperienza, da tramandare esattamente come il nome del clan di appartenenza, come l'arte della buffalo hunt, a source of livelihood and character of ancient rites. The man, like the four elements, is part of a whole which is Mother Earth, she who gives life, the great mother to respect, learn and worship.

We have made a magical journey, riding through the centuries and pristine lands, home to diverse tribes but linked by the deep relationship with nature, seen as a set of elements and the source of life. We have tried to understand the meaning of customs and beliefs become stereotyped and decontextualized, as the sun dance, the attribution of a name Totem and wise use of healing herbs and shamanic practices. An incentive to seek the true meaning of gestures that are sadly disappearing because of a bloody repression and a process of "forced westernization" that have been born with the gold rush in the legendary "Wild West".

Marco Massignan Fandis brought his experience as a scholar and expert in Native culture, telling us of a world away, bringing pieces of history and stories of people who had met during his travels, and who daily put available through books, courses, conferences and seminars.

Capitan Novara e altri supereroi, ovvero il fumetto italiano e i suoi generi, con Fabrizio de Fabritiis e Chiara Mognetti

Did you know that among the rice paddies of our province is around a monster, or an ordinary guy who occasionally wears a tight suit and becomes Capitan Novara, champion and defender of the city weak ... how to say, also discovered the Italian comic superhero genre, which against all odds the market is reacting very well to the arrival of other colleagues Captain, as Commander and Dr. Turin Italy, the newest member of Emmetre Service. With its food mats 'to read', the 'Captain' entertains patrons in fact an increasing number of local, winning legions of fans, thanks to the publication of a special magazine.

But from pencils (?) Fabrizio de Fabritiis and his collaborators do not come only heroes with super powers. On the opposite side of the normal daily life, in fact, is taking its first steps into the world of celebrities young craftsman Lombard, a guy with as many difficulties and responsibilities of all mortals. Like it for its simplicity, which allows un'immediata identificazione dei lettori, perchè si ritrovano nelle giornate di Filippo, scandite come sono dal lavoro e dagli impegni quotidiani.
Al momento purtroppo gli albi non sono distribuiti nelle fumetterie o nelle edicole e sono invece disponibili gratuitamente agli iscritti della Confartigianato dell'Alto milanese e presto anche nelle scuole, dove si spera di interessare le nuove generazioni di studenti al lavoro artigianale.
Il progetto editoriale è nato infatti dall'intuizione della Sig.ra Patrizia Lia sotto l'egida dell'istituzione locale lombarda che rappresenta la categoria, anzi le 50 categorie artigiane presenti sul territorio. Complimenti per la bella iniziativa!

L'arte dello spettatore, con le prof. Elena Cantarella e Mariapaola Pierini


Anno prezioso il 1947. Non solo il mondo tornava alla vita dopo un grande conflitto, ma si fondavano due pietre miliari nella storia delle Performing Arts: in Italia infatti Giorgio Strehler apriva il Piccolo Teatro, mentre in America nascevano gli Actor Studios.
Attraverso i racconti delle Professoresse Cantarella e Pierini abbiamo iniziato un percorso di educazione all’arte the viewer that provides for further steps in the next year.
Through analysis of the styles produced by Strehler and Ronconi was told the development of the Italian theater director, born in lags behind other European sisters, while our short trip to the cinema has given us some useful elements for a first reading styles of acting and then to an informed assessment of the skill of acting of the actors (in particular from the 30s-50s) the big screen.
The speakers have certainly generated interest in the attentive public that it has proposed in-depth topics for future conferences.
