BETWEEN PAST FUTURES AND ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE FUTURE. SOME MARGIN REFLECTIONS ON ANTHROPOLOGY AND TIME

At the beginning of the twentieth century, our notion of time entered (once again) in crisis in a process of rethinking that involved physics, art but also cultural anthropology, which was then becoming popular in academies. This turning point has led, among other things, to a pulverization of the idea of the present and the linearity of time. These 'challenges of time' can only reverberate on contemporary anthropological reflection. In particular, ethnographic research of everyday life must account for the way in which subjects cope with different temporal regimes and place themselves in an extended present that incorporates, without clear boundaries, the memories of the past and the orientations for the future.
