Description:Abstract:Johannes Fabian criticizes anthropology for treating the Other as if living in another time, and he proposes to counter these ‘politics of time’ by stressing the coevalness of humanity. I follow Fabian’s analysis of the political (ab)use of spatiotemporal ‘distancing’ but argue that this (ab)use cannot successfully be addressed by stressing coevalness. Rather, I radically embrace the idea of noncoevalness and argue this is both necessary on scientific grounds and ethically the most attractive. I argue that allochronism results not necessarily from a ‘denial of coevalness’ but, rather, from a specific notion of coevalness. Drawing on arguments by Jacques Derrida I claim that Fabian’s theory of coevalness is dependent on a problematic ‘metaphysics of presence.’ Drawing on the work of Ernst Bloch, Louis Althusser and Antonio Gramsci, Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe I try to show how a more emancipatory analysis of the politics of time can be developed.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
