Book presentation
Full moon blues. A year of haiku in Rome
Terry Olivi
(published by La Vita Felice, Milan, 2023)
The author talks about this with Prof. Guidotto Colleoni
Musical performance by Oscar Bonelli with various oriental instruments Far East on the Esquiline Hill. The mysterious world of haiku in the gardens of Piazza Vittorio. The author, who graduated in Rome with a degree in History of Near and Far East Art, has always cultivated her passion for this traditional genre of Japanese poetry.
The haiku, widespread in the Land of the Rising Sun, is still little known to the general public of our country: the focus is on the natural world, it is a magnifying glass on minimal events, but which can also open a world of associations and reflections to the reader in its brevity of three lines and 17 “morals ” (or syllables).
The genre of haiku known to our Hermetic poets, especially Ungaretti, and D’Annunzio himself, was mainly practiced by American West Coast poets.
The book will be presented by Guidotto Colleoni, Honorary Professor of Japanese Language and Literature at La Sapienza in Rome, a deep connoisseur of the genre.
The reading of short texts will be accompanied by the oriental instruments of the musical ethnologist-researcher Oscar Bonelli and the voice of Maresa Elia, which will create highly suggestive archaic resonances in keeping with the magic of the place with a large water castle (Mario trophies) of the 3rd century BC and soaring Californian palm trees.

LET’S GO TO PHILOSOPHY

Parmenides and Eraclitus. Rounded sphere vs. palintropic harmony
Meeting with Massimiliano Zupi
Presented by Adriano Ercolani
Parmenides and Heraclitus still present two possible paths of philosophy today: that is, two possible ways to try to give meaning to this existence, which sometimes seems to be so. In other words, they offered us different words and concepts to say and understand what we live every day.
On the one hand, therefore, is the well-rounded sphere of Parmenides: truth is stability, immutability, identity, uniqueness. The true does not pass away: it simply is. On the other hand, the palintropic harmony of Heraclitus: reality is a multiplicity of opposites that prevail over each other in order to be reborn from each other. Life is the irresolvable coming and going of life and death, wakefulness and rest, union and separation, beginning and end, beginning and purpose of life, cosmic and individual, unity and silence? Or plurality and the word?
Massimiliano Zupi is Professor of History and Philosophy at the Roman High School and Faculty of Philosophy at the Pontifical University of Sant’Anselmo in Rome. His first publications, twenty years earlier, were connected with the study of the relationship between Platonism and Christianity in late antiquity, in particular with Augustine and Dionysius the Areopagite, and with the development of the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Trinitarian dogma through comparisons between Plato, Plotinus, Genesis and Gregory. Nyssky. Continuing this area of interest, the last ten years of research and publication have instead focused on trying to develop a Christian ontology in a postmodern way, by comparison with Wittgenstein, Heidegger and Gadamer, Levinas and Derrida.
Adriano Ercolani has been dealing with the relationship between Western and Eastern culture for over twenty years. Performing at festivals such as Popsophia, Prendela con Filosofia and Biennale Democrazia, he collaborates with the Tlon philosophical project and publishes performances and ideas in numerous publications such as: L’Indiscreto, Linus, Linkiesta, Repubblica-XL and Il Fatto Quotidiano. He translated Advaita Vedanta. Philosophical reconstruction by Elliot Deutsch (Edizioni Tlon). He has published essays on Spinoza and Advaita Vedanta, the concepts of Kali Yuga and Nietzsche, and the humanists. He co-authored Inner Sky and Healing with Alessandro Orlandi and Stefano Ricchesi (Stamperia del Valentino, 2021) and Francesco D’Isa, Introduction to Meditation (Edizioni Tlon, 2023).

A CHALLENGE TO PERFECTION
(Documentary) 102′
JOHN TROIL
The project, promoted by Roma Capitale – Department of Culture, is the winner of the biennial Public Notice “Estate Romana 2023-2024”, curated by the Department of Cultural Activities and carried out in cooperation with SIAE.
An event organized under the auspices of the VII Commission for Culture of the Chamber of Deputies. Before each screening in the two Cinevillage arenas, video tablets of the second series LA PRIMA DONNA CHE, produced by RAI with the archives of Rai Teche in collaboration with the University of Rome “La Sapienza” and its students, will be projected on a maxi screen. These are profiles of women who have lived fearlessly and with strength, discovering new paths, shedding prejudices and conquering roles in a society long associated with male dominance. The initiative, curated by Alessandra di Michele Bragadin, is a brief encounter with history, a pause for curiosity to meet, day by day, the women innovators who have proven themselves by leading the way.
