Gruppo di lettura che legge in lingua originale narrativa in lingua inglese di autori anglofoni di varia provenienza

Il gruppo si impegna a leggere in lingua originale narrativa in lingua inglese di autori anglofoni di varia provenienza: statunitensi, britannici, irlandesi, ma anche sudafricani, indiani, canadesi, australiani, etc.
Scopo del gruppo è di promuovere la conoscenza dell’inglese, che ormai è divenuto la lingua franca internazionale, esplorando nel contempo tradizioni, costumi, mentalità di altri paesi e affrontando temi di
attualità e di carattere generale da punti di vista diversi.
Gli incontri si tengono una volta al mese, tendenzialmente l’ultimo lunedì, alle ore 17, salvo diverso accordo che viene comunicato tramite i contatti di fianco indicati
La partecipazione è del tutto libera e aperta anche a chi non ha letto il libro, o lo ha letto in lingua italiana, che può sempre partecipare alla discussione su temi di carattere generale. La discussione si tiene in lingua italiana.

 
In questo momento il GdL è in pausa estiva

Gli ncontro si tengono presso Salaborsa lab di Vicolo Bolognetti, 2 ma è possible seguire anche online; il link per il collegamento viene di volta in volta comunicato a coloro che lo richiedono via mail ergenglishreadinggroup@gmail.com

Abstract

A Jury of Her Peers is a short story written by Susan Glaspell, first published in 1917. The story is set in the early 1900s in a rural farmhouse in the American Midwest. The plot revolves around a murder investigation of John Wright, who has been found strangled in his bed. The story follows the investigation conducted by the sheriff and his team, but it is the women who are the real investigators. The story highlights the gender roles and the limitations placed on women during that time. The women, who are the wives of the men conducting the investigation, are left behind to gather evidence and clues that ultimately lead to the discovery of the murderer. The story explores the themes of justice, truth, and the power dynamics between men and women. A Jury of Her Peers is a thought-provoking and insightful commentary on the social and cultural norms of the time
