Storia, etnografia, concetti by Alessandra Gribaldo and Valeria Ribeiro Corossacz, published by Carocci in 2025. Roberta Sassatelli, Zelda Franceschi and Chiara Pilotto join the authors in conversation. The listing says the book takes an anthropological approach based on ethnographic research to discuss gender, sex, kinship, reproduction, nature and culture, and the idea of queer and heteronormative terms, tracing the relationship between anthropology and feminism through the history of the discipline. The meeting is organised with Carocci Editore and the Libreria delle donne di Bologna. Gribaldo teaches cultural anthropology at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, and Ribeiro Corossacz at Roma Tre University. The listing marks the event as free and does not describe any booking arrangement. A book presentation like this is easy to attend alone, since the audience comes for the conversation and the questions that follow. «Incontro in occasione della presentazione del libro Antropologia e femminismo.

The meeting is about two great jazz pianists who were a bridge between modern jazz and African music, one from the United States and the other from South Africa.

Readings by Morelli and Villano, Biblioteca Ginzburg, Bologna

Biblioteca Natalia Ginzburg

On Wednesday 25 November 2026 at 17:30 the Biblioteca Natalia Ginzburg on via Genova in Bologna hosts readings by the authors Alice Silvia Morelli and Elisa Villano, part of the REFUGIA 2026 neighbourhood festival. The date falls on the World Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Both authors read passages from their own books, written sometimes in prose and sometimes in verse. The texts describe the difficult path of women who have suffered violence as they overcome trauma and fear, regain trust in themselves and in others, and find the freedom that was taken from them. The event is organised by Selene Centro Studi together with Ekodanza and takes place in the cultural setting of the library. Participation is free. For information the organisers give an email address and a phone number on the listing page. A reading in a library is easy to attend alone, because people come to listen quietly and can talk with others afterwards if they wish. «I testi, scritti talvolta in prosa talvolta in versi, raccontano il difficile cammino delle donne che hanno subito le violenze» Starts 17:30, ends about 19:00.
