A meeting dedicated to ideas, discussion, and reflection on the present and future through the story of one of the protagonists of contemporary Italian journalism. On Saturday, May 23, at 6:00 p.m., in the Giorgio Pisano Room of L'Unione Sarda in Cagliari, Claudio Cerasa , editor of the daily newspaper Il Foglio , will present his new book, “The Antidote. Freedom, Environment, Technology. An Optimistic Manifesto Against the Dictatorship of Catastrophism,” published by Mondadori - Silvio Berlusconi Editore.
The event, free of charge and subject to availability, organized by Isolarte in collaboration with the L'Unione Sarda Publishing Group, with the support of the Sardinia Region and the Fondazione di Sardegna, is one of the most anticipated cultural events of the season and will offer the public the opportunity to engage directly with one of the most authoritative names in national journalism.
The author will be interviewed by Emanuele Dessì , director of the newspapers of the L'Unione Sarda Group , one of the most well-known Sardinian journalists at a national level and a frequent guest on Rai Cultura as an editorialist for the series of programmes “Il giorno e la Storia”, a successful format by Giovanni Paolo Fontana, entrusted weekly to the great names of Italian newspapers.
This conversation promises to be rich in insights and capable of addressing some of the major issues currently pervading public debate: the relationship between information and reality, the role of technology, the crisis of traditional narratives, the future of Europe, climate change, individual and collective freedom, the weight of media language, and the risk of a society increasingly dominated by pessimistic and catastrophic visions.
The event was created with the aim of creating a space for open discussion , where culture becomes a concrete opportunity for participation and reflection. Through the book presentation, the audience will be asked to reflect on a question that pervades our time: to what extent is the narrative of the reality around us influenced by fear, and to what extent is it possible to imagine new tools for interpreting the present without falling into defeatism?
