Riassunto:The article advocates the usefulness of the research categories proposed by Rebeca Bryant and Daniel M. Knight in The Anthropology of the Future (2019). The authors re-examine a view of the present. In shaping and understanding the present, our orientation toward the future plays a larger role and is more important than scholars in social sciences and anthropology previously believed. Bryant and Knight maintain that in the “thick” present, the past and the future exist in complex relationships marked by ambivalence, idiosyncraticity, and anxiety, while anthropologists should be concerned with exploring how these affective temporalities influence our actions.
