- W4206426537 abstract "Ideas of the French present were challenged and reframed through colonial discourse. This posed challenging new questions about whose present was being promoted by French political culture; where that present was located; and who should be governed by it. Drawing in part on Johannes Fabian’s critique of anthropology, this essay sees imperialism as a classic test for scholars concerned with understanding how different temporalities may coexist and even clash. Because, for older generations of anthropologists, the observer was naturally assumed to inhabit a different time, there exists a question at the heart of any discussion about the clashing of temporalities within imperial relationships that points to the plurality of time and the constant clash of perspective through different experiences of the present. Colonial administrators often remarked on the differing role of history in the present-times of different parts of the French Empire. France’s civilising mission was upset, on a daily basis, by the difference in present experience as it was reflected in social patterns and working habits. Administrators found that in practice, the path to the European present was full of detours. Ultimately, for leading politicians and colonial administrators, the French Empire remained a symbol of the future destiny of modern French progress; yet across the central swathe of political opinion from which these politicians came, there remained a belief in understanding and administering the colonial present, closer to home and closer to the ‘humanity’ which they believed the Empire to be promoting." @default.
