Aenigmata

What is "Aenigmata"?

Aenigmata on the topic  of identity are the result of an educational work developed with the law department students from University of Turin and University of Piemonte Orientale, realized in the Casa Shalom inside the community of Marentino di Terramia Onlus.These questions are directly addressed to the poets to the intellectuals who are engaged in MaTerre. Questions which can not be answered in an entirely rational and logical way, perhaps because the very theme of identity agitates and touches deep down, where individual and collective rationality fails to shed light.

Consistently with MaTerre’s purpose Aenigmata are inspired from Rocco Scotellaro’s poetry verse “And my homeland is where the grass trembles”. Today it’s the idea of future itself to totter, considering the violent challenges and changes to which all humanity is subjected.

The questions are divided in three blocks:

1. Identity of identity. Language and speech. 2. Religion and process. 3. Nation, space and control, which border many areas of the Identity Issue.

Aenigmata aim to be a beginning, a new way to start an ideal Symposium of knowledge, at least to acknowledge the deep enigma of identity, trying not to reduce it to something politic, market or technology can own.
