  • Descrição: Crapanzano comments on Jane Guyer's essay, entitled Prophecy and the Near Future, stressing that it is one of the most exciting anthropology articles that he has read in years. Guyer's article argues that, since then, the near future has thinned out, at least conceptually, but experientially, too, as people are ever-more focused on the present and the distant future. The gap between these two temporal moments, the near future, is a site of "reconfigurations of elements that are well-known already, moved in to colonize particular phases and domains of individual and collective life that have been released from answerability to a more distant past and future." It is a site of temporal bricolage that, like all bricolage, is goal-oriented but in its particularity lacks (theoretical) cohesiveness and elaboration. Moreover, Guyer examines the refashioning of time through careful readings in two seemingly disparate domains, monetary theory and conservative evangelicalism, finding striking parallels in the temporalities they evoke. Guyer highlights these temporalities by contrasting them with those of other positions that stress the intermediate future: notably, Walt Rostow's on economic growth and Abraham Joshua Heschel's on Old Testament prophecy.
