Description
Time and the Other: A Critical Reexamination of Anthropology's Relationship with Its Subjects. Johannes Fabian challenges the long-held assumption that anthropologists live in the present, while their subjects exist in the past. This groundbreaking work reorients our understanding of time and its role in anthropology, highlighting how this fundamental distinction has shaped the field's approach to power and inequality. In this edition, a new postscript by the author revisits popular conceptions of the "other" and the production of knowledge about other cultures. Fabian's thought-provoking analysis remains relevant today, offering insights into the complex relationships between anthropology, time, and human understanding. Paperback, 223 pages.
