A partire da "L'attesa". conversazione con Dagmawi Yimer

The recent work by Dagmawi Yimer, "Waiting", realized with Shahram Khosravi in the context of the international research project Wait based at Bergen Universty, is the starting point of a conversation that questions the notion of time as a map. In particular, the interview explores ‘time in between’ as a relevant space that allows one to build up a personal map through which the subject repositions herself/himself in a new context. In so doing, ‘time in between’ is related to the act of appropriating language: the language of cinema but also, in a broader sense, the multiple languages that enable the subject to enter and constantly reshape a relationship with the world. The conversation is part of the special issue of From the European South concerning maps, mappings and cartographic imaginings of colonial and postcolonial issues, with a peculiar focus on border crossings, migration crises, everyday multiculturalism and so-called ‘commonplace diversity’.
