Books on Water and Environmental Humanities with Sabina Rizzardi and Shaul Bassi In this fifth episode of our podcast series Nowtilus. Stories from an urban lagoon in the 21st century we will tell you about ideas, books, and literature, and how they meet in Venice, generating interesting and innovative realities. We will do this with Sabina Rizzardi, co-owner of Libreria Marco Polo and Shaul Bassi, professor of English literature and director of the International Center for the Humanities and Social Change at Ca' Foscari University. Sabina Rizzardi will tell us about fascinating readings that she has selected for us, to get to know Venice and the secrets of the sea. Together with Shaul Bassi we will discover how literature, culture, and more specifically the university itself, can contribute to strengthening a collective environmental awareness to deal with the current climate emergency.
