Talk with Silvia Mazzucchelli, author of the preface of the book Le scommesse sono aperte and François Leperlier, IUFM–Université de Rouen.
Edizioni Wunderkammer present the first Italian edition of Claude Cahun's provocative pamphlet Les Paris sont ouverts (Bets are on), published in Paris in 1934. The publishing project is by Lucia Biolchini, preface by Silvia Mazzucchelli, translation by Marcello Giulini, revision by Marco Dell'Omodarme.
Through literature and photography, first trough a Surrealist eye and later by taking part in the resistant to Nazism, Claude Cahun (1894 - 1954) incessantly tells of her refusal to be identified by a stable gender and her will to change the rules of the world. The text brings together her passion for poetry and for political commitment, a reflection on the role of poetry as a space where man can aspire to greater freedom.
