«Il tempo senza età. La vecchiaia non esiste» is the essay by anthropologist Marc Augé (Raffaello Cortina Editore, paperback, 104 pages, Italian).
Drawing on personal memories, Marc Augé reflects on the passage of time and old age. He questions the label of «old» imposed by others and argues that chronological age does not define inner experience: although the body deteriorates, subjectivity remains outside time. He concludes that «everyone dies young».
Published in 2014 in the Temi series, translated by Daniela Damiani. An anthropological and essayistic work.
For readers of essays and anthropology interested in the work of Marc Augé and in reflections on age, time and identity.
