Forom of the languages of the world : the edition 2016

The Forom of the languages of the world was born in Toulouse, en 1992, the will of the Carrefour Culturel Arnaud-Bernard.

It is, in the world, the first Festival of languages to put in practice as in theory cultural equality of all languages of the world : more dialects, more patois, more than “small” opposite languages to of “large”, more linguistic nonsense dictated by the policy. Thus ruining the ideological foundations of all nationalism, ethnocentrism, or racism ; and thereby contributing even to build this radical philosophy of cultural plurality which is, as wrote Félix Castan, “the only message that can be accepted and taken up by all cultures of the world”.

He returned to the Occitan literature to have forged this message, in hiding.

At the France now hoist the banner, and to make a policy, inside and outside its borders : She can never find more great, of more generous.

Designed by a team of french and Italian scholars, This volume is one of the most rich and ambitious books devoted to this mythical city which continues to fascinate millions of visitors.

Venice - "one of the most poetic secrets that ever existed on this earth", According to one of its best connoisseurs, Dino Buzzati - never ceases to fascinate countless visitors with its architectural splendour and disturbing and enchanting mystery.
Joint work of french and Italian employees from different backgrounds, This volume plunges us into the heart of this legendary town through a meticulous and original exploration that contradicts good shots without altering its legend. It shows how it is built over time by a fierce desire for domination of its natural environment. For centuries, Venice was an autonomous State, a rebel Republic and a dreaded maritime power. A city outsized whose prestige feeds the imagination that it inspires. The city of love, of seduction, sensuality, but also the symbol of the end of a world.
At the discretion of the walks he proposes, This book of unparalleled magnitude provides access to knowledge both realistic and intimate of Venetian life. Has always been prized by the french writers, Venice has also inspired the authors of all nationalities. The texts collected in the anthology, often unsung and sometimes unreleased, bear witness to this cosmopolitan dimension. Thanks to the dictionary of places, characters, works of art, institutions, festivities and traditions which closes this set, the reader can invent its own course in a labyrinthine city to the inexhaustible charm.

The mountain landscapes photographed by Paola De Pietri breathe.

Landscapes of his 'To Face' series are a particular aesthetic.
« On these mountains, where human time is stopped and where only the rhythm of nature printed its trace, landscapes that seem natural are in fact the result of delivered battles and life lived every day for years by hundreds of thousands of soldiers "explains photographer.

Snapshot of Paola Pietri

There a cascade of stones that we imagine shaped by erosion, There's valleys in the middle of the pines thought drawn for centuries, are actually only a land hit by bombings or dug trenches made by soldiers of the first world war. Stigmata of the hell of war in a paradisiacal land... Mountain Mist also wraps us in our thoughts. Behind a tablecloth, We guess a cave or a cache that has not hosted a bear wintering entrance but men hunted down or storing ammunition there, blowing a few moments before the clatter of weapons.

Paola De Pietri shots are beautiful but rough. They lead us into a stroll but especially work memory. These snapshots of sites who will still be there after we, It was necessary to look for. And while sailing in our imagination, Considering also the journey that the artist had to make to meet face (To Face) these stone monuments. "To get closer to a grand narrative., She hired her body for several years, by thoroughly exploring the mountains. History, If it must be still seen among the problems of our Postmodernity, requires time and effort,"says Roberta Valtorta, critic and Director of photography Milan contemporary Museum.

Second stage of our journey to Toulouse, room located under the arches of the Pont Neuf to the discovery of Mario Giacomelli.

The room, Immaculate, lends itself perfectly to the decryption of the work of one who always considered himself as a manufacturer of image : "I do not the photographer., I do not know do.. Difficult to describe "inventions" of this now world-famous artist. Both abstract compositions, readable and telling a story.

Stacking several from shots of different series, adding perspectives artificially but cleverly posed in the framework, Giacomelli embarks us. Really take the time to read each of his works. Those that have me the most marked : This seascape where we see both the breadth of sea, captivating, and what seems to be, posed on a sand dune from the shore, a man and a child ; and then this other country composition coupling a farmhouse perched on a hill and an aerial view of fields dotted with grooves.

As of Pietri, Giacomelli also seems to want to rebuild that man has destroyed. The land on which it has shaped is the markets where he was raised and where he lived until his death in 2000.
