Viewpoints on “the Other”
Throughout his career of a reporter, writer, and “translator of cultures”, Ryszard Kapuściński was preoccupied with the notion of “the Other”. He synopsised his views in a collection of lectures published in 2006 as Ten Inny. It is instructive to look at how his portrayal of the Other (in Polish: I...
