Tempo del carcerato, tempo del moribondo, tempo dell'arte: attraverso "Il mio secolo" di Aleksander Wat

On the basis of his Italian translation entitled Il mio secolo of Aleksander Wat’s Mój wiek (Palermo 2013) and the idea of translation as “listening” and response/responsibility of identification with the Other, the author returns to Wat’s prison memories and linked thoughts on the subject of time. The prisoner’s isolation, on the one hand, demonstrates the inherent “otherness” of human time (inasmuch as it is a form of “being” – Heidegger’s Dasein – “with others”) making his perception of reality similar to that of a dying person.
