What is the Anthropology of the Contemporary?
We understand the contemporary as a “moving ratio of modernity, moving through the recent past and the near future in a (nonlinear) space that gauges modernity as an ethos already becoming historical” (Paul Rabinow, Marking Time, 2008: 2). We regard the contemporary as an emerging assemblage, and thus find it particularly suitable for collaborative and experimental forms of inquiry.
