referendum


- Have you heard, Nora? The quorum has not been achieved! Strange, as there has been a great tam-tam on facebook!
- The problem, Dora, is that people believe that with facebook they can do the revolution! But reality does not always coincide with social networks!

p.s. - This refers to the recent Italian referendum on oil and gas drilling.

lavoro domestico


- Dora, according to this book, domestic work should be paid!
- Holy mackerel, Nora, then we would be stinking rich!

(il libro in questione è di Silvia Federici, Il punto zero della rivoluzione: lavoro domestico, riproduzione, lotta femminista, Verona, ombre corte, 2014).
(the book in question is Silvia Federici's Revolution at point zero: Housework, Reproduction, and Feminist Struggle, Oakland: PM Press, 2012).

l'agenda rossa

- You Know, Nora, I don't see how is it possible to lose a diary of such a bright colour!
- It's a State mystery, Dora!

This refers to judge Paolo Borsellino's red diary, which got lost in the place where he was murdered, in Via D'Amelio, Palermo, on July 19th, 1992. In the diary, Borsellino wrote his thoughts and comments on his investigations on Mafia. Some say that the diary contains elements that connect Mafia with the Italian government. Here a video of last year's commemoration of the slaughter (scroll down for the English version of the article).

ru486


- Have you heard, Nora? They want to block the distribution of the RU486!
- Yes, I have, Dora. Unfortunately, the affirmation of totalitarian regimes often passes through the control of women's bodies!

note- the RU486 is an abortion pill, that has been and still is at the centre of many discussions in Italy. Recently two members of the League Party have affirmed that they intend not to distribute it in the regions where they are presidents. This was said in spite of the fact that the pill is legal in Italy.
