daphne caruana galizia

Keith Borg, l-awtur ta' "Il-Parabboli tal-Imġienen", huwa l-mistieden fil-ħames episodju ta' Antenni Suspettużi. Keith jitkellem dwar il-qtil ta' Daphne Caruana Galizia u dwar kif jittrattah fl-istorja tiegħu "Repubblika", fejn karattri differenti jirreaġixxu b'modi għalkollox differenti anki quddiem "att faħxi" bħal dan.

Keith jitkellem ukoll dwar il-poema "Magħġuna fit-Tbenġil", li tittratta l-falliment tas-soċjetà  quddiem il-femmiċidju u l-vjolenza domestika.

F'din il-poddata Keith isellem ukoll lil Mario Azzopardi, jiddiskuti t-tabù fil-letteratura Maltija u kif jirnexxilu jikteb dwar is-sess bla ma jaqa' fil-pornografija jew l-medjokrità.

Antenni Suspettużi huwa l-podcast ta' PEN Malta mal-awturi ta' żmienna. Joħroġ nhar ta' Tlieta.

Keith Borg, the author of Il-Parabboli tal-Imġienen, is the guest in the fifth episode of Antenni Suspettużi. Keith discusses the assassination of Daphne Caruana Galizia and how he deals with it in his story Repubblika, where different characters react in totally different ways to this event despite its obvious atrocity.

Keith also talks about his poem "Magħġuna fit-Tbenġil" which deals with society's failure in relation to femicide and domestic violence.

In this episode Keith also salutes Mario Azzopardi, discusses taboo in Maltese literature and how he manages to write about sex without falling into the pornographic or the mediocre.

Antenni Suspettużi is PEN Malta's weekly podcast with contemporary authors. Out every Tuesday.

After 30 years on the run, Italy's most wanted fugitive Matteo Messina Denaro of the Cosa Nostra has been arrested in Sicily. We look at the costs of organised crime, both economic and societal, the contagion that financial secrecy facilitates, and how to reverse the rot.

Secrecy jurisdictions and tax havens have made it possible for mafiosi to progress from crossing physical borders with bank notes stuffed in suitcases, to being able to pour unlimited amounts of money into the financial system. Dirty money in, ‘clean’ money out. That money destabilises economies and corrupts democracies, while organised crime toxifies societies. The problem is that financial secrecy and tax havens are also the friend of commerce, multinationals and wealthy, powerful people worldwide...
