Why is it important?
History has become an important mode of analysis in anthropology today. In this article, I ague what may be a distinct contribution of Russian anthropology here.
Perspectives
We associate a 'historical turn' in contemporary anthropology with scholarship that stems from American anthropology and, in particular, from the University of Michigan's anthropology and history programme. I am interested in complementing this trend from the point of view of the anthropology of time.
