Il tempo è il nostro stesso essere: è l’essenza della vita, del mondo, dell’universo. Su questo tema si sono concentrati tutti gli esseri umani fin dagli inizi dell’homo sapiens, perché è la coscienza e la responsabilità del tempo che distingue l’uomo da tutti gli altri esseri viventi. Le due espressioni più antiche e probabilmente più profonde che l’uomo ha pensato sul tempo sono: - tempus fugit: espressione che deriva da un verso delle Georgiche di Virgilio: «Sed fugit interea fugit irreparabile tempus» (Ma fugge intanto, fugge irreparabilmente il tempo); - e panta rei (panta rei: tutto scorre via) di Eraclito. Le due citazioni colgono l’aspetto più intimo del tempo: esso è fuggitivo (l’attimo fuggente), è inafferrabile, irraggiungibile, irreperibile, imprendibile, indomabile. E non intercambiabile con qualsiasi altra cosa. Particolarmente innovativo e perfino criptico è il contributo che Luisa Toppan cita di Carlo Rovelli, lo scienziato più originale e ricco di suggestioni del nostro “tempo”.

Standing Up with Ga’axsta’las tells the remarkable story of Jane Constance Cook (1870-1951), a controversial Kwakwaka’wakw leader and activist who lived during a period of enormous colonial upheaval. Working collaboratively, Robertson and Cook’s descendants draw on oral histories and textual records to create a nuanced portrait of a high-ranked woman, a cultural mediator, devout Christian, and aboriginal rights activist who criticized potlatch practices for surprising reasons. This powerful meditation on memory and cultural renewal documents how the Kwagu’l Gixsam have revived their long-dormant clan in the hopes of forging a positive cultural identity for future generations through feasting and potlatching.
