Whether we’re aware of it or not, we spend much of our time in this globalised world in the act of translation. Language is a big part of it, of course, as anyone who has fumbled with a phrasebook in a foreign country will know, but behind language is something far more challenging to translate: culture. As a traveller, a mistranslation might land you a bowl of who-knows-what when you think you asked for noodles, and mistranslations in international politics can be a few steps from serious trouble.

Story0
Felicità è una parola di cristallo la più soggettiva del vocabolario. Cambia a seconda dei nostri valori delle nostre condizioni di salute delle nostre idee della nostra fede della nostra età del nostro rapporto col tempo e con la morte. Muta svariate volte nel corso della vita poiché a cambiare siamo prima di tutto noi col nostro orizzonte di desiderio. Definirla quindi non è impresa da poco ma può rivelarsi un’avventura avvincente. Il suo significato infatti apre mille strade e mille orizzonti. Per me è uno stato di estasi per te un momento di inconsapevolezza.

Story0
Marco Balzano ispirandosi nel titolo al film di Nanni Moretti Palombella Rossa, si interroga sul perché l'etimologia sia una scienza che non riceve la considerazione che merita nonostante eserciti, in chi ci si avvicina, un forte fascino. Attraverso quelli che a tutti gli effetti potremmo definire dieci scavi etimologici, ci dice che ogni parola ha un corpo da rispettare che non può essere stravolto a nostro piacimento. Perché ogni parola ha una sua identità e una sua vita autonoma.
