Centro Librexpression, Fondazione Giuseppe Di Vagno

Creato in gennaio 2017, operativo da giugno 2017, il Centro LIBREXPRESSION è un Centro Euro-Mediterraneo per la promozione della libertà di espressione e della satira politica.

Obiettivo: promuovere la libertà di espressione, la libertà di stampa e la satira politica  - uno strumento indispensabile per la democrazia -, particolarmente grafica, ma non solo, come forma pertinente d’informazione e svilupparne l’uso, sia nella didattica, sia nei vari media (giornali, audiovisivi, social network) e nel campo dell’arte grafica.

Un Consiglio Scientifico, composto di vignettisti, fotografi, giornalisti, universitari specializzati in materie legate alla libertà di espressione, assicura la coerenza delle attività.

Organizzazione: Il centro è organizzato intorno a cinque pilastri, che dovrebbero essere tutti pienamente operativi entro 2020:

1- Un’attività di promozione della libertà di espressione e della satira politica (attività in corso), con l’organizzazione di conferenze pubbliche, partecipazione a festival di giornalismo o di cultura, a trasmissioni radio e TV, mostre tematiche. Tale attività è iniziata nel giugno 2017. (Veda l’elenco in annesso).

2- Una banca dati di vignette, illustrazioni e fotografie (in costruzione), per promuovere il lavoro dei membri del Centro LIBREXPRESSION(vignettisti, graffisti, illustratori, fotografi… che siano italiani, europei e dell’altra sponda del Mediterraneo) – in materia di satira politica e sociale - presso i media, i professori di licei e di università, giornalisti, scrittori... Tale banca dati riprenderà le opere scelte dai membri, classificate sia tematicamente sia per autore, con un motore di ricerca. Tale banca permetterà ai potenziali utenti di trovare illustrazioni per loro articoli, trasmissioni video, illustrazioni di siti, libri, didattica, ecc.

3- Un centro di documentazione (iniziato), biblioteca fisica (nella sede della Fondazione Di Vagno) e virtuale, sul tema della libertà di espressione, della satira e della caricatura politica (su tutte le sue forme e particolarmente grafica), dall’antichità fino ad adesso. Sarà un dipartimento della biblioteca della Fondazione, che conta già una centinaia di pubblicazioni su questo tema. Collezioni di vignette satiriche storiche saranno scannerizzate, con indicazioni di copyright, accessibile solo in lettura e non scaricabile, ma, con possibilità di pubblicazione per chi vorrebbe acquisirne i diritti di riproduzione.

4- Una residenza per artisti (progetto), situata nel Monastero san Benedetto di Conversano. Saranno invitati, per due o tre mesi, tra 4 e 6 artisti, meta europei - meta dell’altra sponda del Mediterraneo, per dedicarsi al loro arte. In scambio dovranno dedicare un po’ di tempo a conferenze, workshops e lavoro artistico sulla regione.

5- Un’attività didattica (in corso di elaborazione): Il centro intende produrre in collaborazione con partners europei condividendo obiettivi e filosofia d’azione simili, dei moduli di formazione (utilizzabili sia dal vivo, sia via internet) all’attenzione degli studenti di licei, dei docenti e studenti universitari, particolarmente di scuole di design, sul tema della libertà di espressione (cosa vuol dire, quali sono i diritti e i doveri, come cercare e verificare l’informazione, i pericoli e i pregi della rete, come leggere un’immagine, ecc.)

Alberto Guareschi parla a Buduàr del padre e di Enzo Tortora

"Sig. GUARESCHI"
Doveroso omaggio al figlio del grande scrittore ed umorista Giovannino, per averci ospitato (gruppo WHA), domenica 3 u.s., presso la loro casa museo a Roncole Verdi - PR
© Mario Magnatti Mariom

Domenica 3 settembre la direzione artistica dei premi  World Humor Awards, ha accompagnato gli artisti premiati e la giuria in visita alla casa museo di Giovannino Guareschi a Roncole Verdi, dove li attendeva Alberto Guareschi. Avevo già pubblicato le foto di quella visita qui, ma leggendo Buduàr mi sono accorta, non avendo potuto partecipare , quanto mi sono persa.
Lo scrittore parmigiano aveva recensito un libro di Enzo Tortora per il settimanale Oggi, ma sul giornale la parte finale dell'articolo fu censurata. Buduàr sta pubblicando a puntate quel libro.

[...]Di Guareschi pubblichiamo una chicca per bibliofili (o maniaci): la recensione al libro “Le forche caudine” di Tortora, che stiamo pubblicando a puntate.
La recensione uscì sul settimanale Oggi. Alberto Guareschi, consegnandocelo ci ha fatto notare che, confrontando il dattiloscritto originale e l’articolo effettivamente uscito, salta all’occhio la mancanza delle ultime dieci righe. Che ovviamente non esitiamo a pubblicare. In questo “quasi cinquantesimo” numero però troverete molto altro. Chicche sublimi per la vostra voglia di conosce (o quasi) ed anche le consuete rubriche fisse che comunque danno (quasi) un senso di sicurezza, rendendo familiare, ai più, il nostro salotto (quasi) buono dell’arte leggera.[...]

International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN)

Prize motivation: "for its work to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weapons"

Prize share: 1/1

The Nobel Peace Prize 2017
International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN)

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2017 to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN). The organization is receiving the award for its work to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weapons.

We live in a world where the risk of nuclear weapons being used is greater than it has been for a long time. Some states are modernizing their nuclear arsenals, and there is a real danger that more countries will try to procure nuclear weapons, as exemplified by North Korea. Nuclear weapons pose a constant threat to humanity and all life on earth. Through binding international agreements, the international community has previously adopted prohibitions against land mines, cluster munitions and biological and chemical weapons. Nuclear weapons are even more destructive, but have not yet been made the object of a similar international legal prohibition.

Through its work, ICAN has helped to fill this legal gap. An important argument in the rationale for prohibiting nuclear weapons is the unacceptable human suffering that a nuclear war will cause. ICAN is a coalition of non-governmental organizations from around 100 different countries around the globe. The coalition has been a driving force in prevailing upon the world’s nations to pledge to cooperate with all relevant stakeholders in efforts to stigmatise, prohibit and eliminate nuclear weapons. To date, 108 states have made such a commitment, known as the Humanitarian Pledge.

Furthermore, ICAN has been the leading civil society actor in the endeavour to achieve a prohibition of nuclear weapons under international law. On 7 July 2017, 122 of the UN member states acceded to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. As soon as the treaty has been ratified by 50 states, the ban on nuclear weapons will enter into force and will be binding under international law for all the countries that are party to the treaty.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee is aware that an international legal prohibition will not in itself eliminate a single nuclear weapon, and that so far neither the states that already have nuclear weapons nor their closest allies support the nuclear weapon ban treaty. The Committee wishes to emphasize that the next steps towards attaining a world free of nuclear weapons must involve the nuclear-armed states. This year’s Peace Prize is therefore also a call upon these states to initiate serious negotiations with a view to the gradual, balanced and carefully monitored elimination of the almost 15,000 nuclear weapons in the world. Five of the states that currently have nuclear weapons – the USA, Russia, the United Kingdom, France and China – have already committed to this objective through their accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons of 1970. The Non-Proliferation Treaty will remain the primary international legal instrument for promoting nuclear disarmament and preventing the further spread of such weapons.

It is now 71 years since the UN General Assembly, in its very first resolution, advocated the importance of nuclear disarmament and a nuclear weapon-free world. With this year’s award, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to pay tribute to ICAN for giving new momentum to the efforts to achieve this goal.

The decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2017 to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons has a solid grounding in Alfred Nobel’s will. The will specifies three different criteria for awarding the Peace Prize: the promotion of fraternity between nations, the advancement of disarmament and arms control and the holding and promotion of peace congresses. ICAN works vigorously to achieve nuclear disarmament. ICAN and a majority of UN member states have contributed to fraternity between nations by supporting the Humanitarian Pledge. And through its inspiring and innovative support for the UN negotiations on a treaty banning nuclear weapons, ICAN has played a major part in bringing about what in our day and age is equivalent to an international peace congress.

It is the firm conviction of the Norwegian Nobel Committee that ICAN, more than anyone else, has in the past year given the efforts to achieve a world without nuclear weapons a new direction and new vigour.

NOBEL PEACE PRIZE 2017 NOT TO TRUMP
06 Oct 2017

Nominated but not Awarded

The three most common searches on individuals in the Nobel Peace Prize nomination database are Adolf Hitler, Mahatma Gandhi and Joseph Stalin.

Joseph Stalin, the Secretary General of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1922-1953), was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1945 and 1948 for his efforts to end World War II.

Mahatma Gandhi, one of the strongest symbols of non-violence in the 20th century, was nominated in 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947 and, finally, shortly before he was assassinated in January 1948. Although Gandhi was not awarded the Prize (a posthumous award is not allowed by the statutes), the Norwegian Nobel Committee decided to make no award that year on the grounds that "there was no suitable living candidate".

Read more about "the missing Laureate"

Adolf Hitler was nominated once in 1939. Incredulous though it may seem today, the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1939, by a member of the Swedish parliament, an E.G.C. Brandt. Apparently though, Brandt never intended the nomination to be taken seriously. Brandt was to all intents and purposes a dedicated antifascist, and had intended this nomination more as a satiric criticism of the current political debate in Sweden. (At the time, a number of Swedish parliamentarians had nominated then British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlin for the Nobel Peace Prize, a nomination which Brandt viewed with great skepticism. ) However, Brandt's satirical intentions were not well received at all and the nomination was swiftly withdrawn in a letter dated 1 February 1939.

Other statesmen and national leaders who were nominated but not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize:
Czechoslovakia: Thomas G. Masaryk, Edvard Benes,
Great Britain: Neville Chamberlain, Anthony Eden, Clement Attlee,
Ramsay MacDonald, Winston Churchill
USA: the presidents William Howard Taft, Warren G. Harding, Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman &
Dwight D. Eisenhower; the foreign ministers Charles Hughes, John Foster Dulles
France: Pierre Mendès-France
Western Germany: Konrad Adenauer
Argentina: Juan and Eva Peron
India: Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru
Finland: Juho Kusti Paasikivi
Italy: Benito Mussolini

Artists nominated but not awarded the Peace Prize: 
Leo Tolstoy (Russian author), E.M. Remarque (German author),Pablo Casals (Spanish Catalan cellist and later conductor),Nicholas Roerich.

Nominees not primarily known for their peace work:
John Maynard Keynes, British economist.
Pierre de Coubertin, French pedagogue and historian best known for founding the International Olympic Committee.
Lord Baden-Powell, Lieutenant-General in the British Army, writer, founder of the Scout Movement.
Maria Montessori, best known for her philosophy and method of educating children from birth to adolescence. Her educational method is still in use today in a number of public as well as private schools throughout the world.

Royal nominees:
Tsar Nikolai II (1901), Prince Carl of Sweden (1919), King Albert I of Belgium (1922), Emperor Haile Selassi of Ethiopia(1938), King Paul I of Greece (1950), Princess Wilhelmina of the Netherlands (1951).

To be nominated for a Nobel Prize is not an official endorsement or extended honour to imply affiliation with the Prize or its related institutions. Nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize require no invitation and can be submitted from all corners of the world to the Norwegian Nobel Committee. The broad eligibility of nominators means thousands of people – with no affiliation to the Nobel Committee – can put forward a name and motivate their opinion of why they consider a candidate worthy. This is what differs the selection process for the Nobel Peace Prize from many other prizes where awarding committees or academies select all the nominees as well as the winner.

Premio Nobel per letteratura 2017: Kazuo Ishiguro

The Nobel Prize in Literature 2017 : Kazuo Ishiguro

Ishiguro ⟨išigùro⟩, Kazuo. - Scrittore giapponese naturalizzato britannico (n. Nagasaki 1954). Perfettamente integrato nella cultura britannica, privilegia una forma di scrittura non lontana dal tradizionale realismo occidentale, differenziandosi in questo dagli orientamenti postmoderni e dalle aperture multiculturali dei giovani scrittori britannici. Suo tema dominante è la rievocazione di un passato individuale e nazionale, situato negli anni del secondo dopoguerra, in un mondo dove è in atto un totale mutamento di costumi, accompagnato dalla perdita dei valori tradizionali. Vincitore del Booker Prize nel 1989 con il romanzo The remains of the day (1989; trad. it. 1990), che gli ha dato fama internazionale, e nel 2005 con Never let me go (2005; trad. it. 2006). Nel 2017 gli è stato conferito il premio Nobel per la letteratura "perché, nei suoi romanzi di grande forza emotiva, ha svelato l’abisso sottostante il nostro illusorio senso di connessione con il mondo". (continua)

"This is amazing and totally unexpected news. It comes at a time when the world is uncertain about its values, its leadership and its safety. I just hope that my receiving this huge honour will, even in a small way, encourage the forces for goodwill and peace at this time."-- Kazuo Ishiguro on winning the Nobel Prize in Literature

The Nobel Prize in Literature 2017 was awarded to Kazuo Ishiguro "who, in novels of great emotional force, has uncovered the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world".


Lo scorso anno le polemiche furono numerose per l'assegnazione del Premio Nobel per la Letteratura a Bob Dylan. L'atteggiamento del musicista, che sembrò inizialmente indifferente a un simile riconoscimento internazionale, non migliorò l'atteggiamento dell'opinione pubblica.
Quest'anno invece non dovrebbero esserci polemiche: ad aver ricevuto il Premio è infatti il grande scrittore Kazuo Ishiguro, di origini giapponesi, ma vissuto in Gran Bretagna dall'età di sei anni, molto amato per romanzi come "Un pallido orizzonte di colline", "Quel che resta del giorno", "Non lasciarmi", "Quando eravamo orfani", "Il gigante sepolto".
Dalle sue opere sono stati tratti film di grande successo, come "Quel che resta del giorno" di James Ivory, con Anthony Hopkins ed Emma Thompson, e "Non lasciarmi", con Andrew Garfield, Carey Mulligan e Keira Knightley.

 Richard H. Thaler

Born: 1945, East Orange, NJ, USA
Affiliation at the time of the award: University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA
Prize motivation: "for his contributions to behavioural economics"

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2017 to Richard H. Thaler

“for his contributions to behavioural economics”

Easy money or a golden pension? Integrating economics and psychology
The American economist Richard H. Thaler is a pioneer in behavioural economics, a research field in which insights from psychological research are applied to economic decision-making. A behavioural perspective incorporates more realistic analysis of how people think and behave when making economic decisions, providing new opportunities for designing measures and institutions that increase societal benefit.
By exploring the consequences of limited rationality, social preferences, and lack of self-control, Thaler has shown how these human traits systematically affect individual decisions as well as market outcomes.

Limited rationality: Thaler developed the theory of mental accounting, explaining how people simplify financial decision-making by creating separate accounts in their minds, focusing on the narrow impact of each individual decision rather than its overall effect. He also showed how aversion to losses can explain why people value the same item more highly when they own it than when they don’t, a phenomenon called the endowment effect. Thaler was one of the founders of the field of behavioural finance, which studies how cognitive limitations influence financial markets.

Social preferences: Thaler’s theoretical and experimental research on fairness has been influential. He showed how consumers’ fairness concerns may stop firms from raising prices in periods of high demand, but not in times of rising costs. Thaler and his colleagues devised the dictator game, an experimental tool that has been used in numerous studies to measure attitudes to fairness in different groups of people around the world.

Lack of self-control: Thaler has also shed new light on the old observation that New Year’s resolutions can be hard to keep. He showed how to analyse self-control problems using a planner-doer model, which is similar to the frameworks psychologists and neuroscientists now use to describe the internal tension between long-term planning and short-term doing. Succumbing to shortterm temptation is an important reason why our plans to save for old age, or make healthier lifestyle choices, often fail. In his applied work, Thaler demonstrated how nudging – a term he coined – may help people exercise better self-control when saving for a pension, as well in other contexts.

In total, Richard Thaler’s contributions have built a bridge between the economic and psychological analyses of individual decision-making. His empirical findings and theoretical insights have been instrumental in creating the new and rapidly expanding field of behavioural economics, which has had a profound impact on many areas of economic research and policy.
