Beschreibung
How can anthropologists contribute to the study of the future? Can there even be such a thing as 'the anthropology of the future', if, per definition, the future hasn't happened yet? Recent decades have seen concerted efforts by anthropologists to better account for the role of the future in the world we study, giving it its rightful place in our analyses alongside the past. A major thread in such work turns to conceptual frameworks centred on notions of potential and indeterminacy, on events and affect. Engaging critically with such writings, this presentation explores how we can effectively deploy our trademark methodology—ethnography: real-time, in-situ, and thus presentist—to attend to questions of futures. It will address this challenge through sustained reflection on long-term ethnographic research on hope and the state in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. (Speaker's abstract)
