The Contemporary
What is the contemporary ? This issue is a central one for ARC. We are in the process of constructing a glossary that will include concepts such as this one.
Previous discussions can be found in Rabinow: French DNA, epilogue The Anthropological Contemporary, as well as in Anthropos Today, and the forthcoming Marking Time: On the Anthropology of the Contemporary (Princeton 2007) and Rabinow, Rees, Marcus and Faubion, Designs for an anthropology of the contemporary (forthcoming).
