ANTHROPOLOGY AND THE POLITICS OF EXEMPTION: REMARKS AFTER THE FACT

Anthropology has placed itself under confinement, as a science of the attested. This means that it constitutes itself as history – as a history of the encounter. It is dominated, whether it likes it or not, by the event – thus by the compulsion to report. To record and to report. It places itself on the side of consumption, it ignores the possibility of production. Reproduction but not production, that is its secret terrain – to such a degree that it is secretly complicit in strategies of self-administration and self-normalising.

Yesterday we forgot, today we remember
Yesterday we forgot everything
Today we remembered something

We came by boat, in the dark

There were seals on the rocks and in the water

Other creatures

Never before sighted by the eyes of man

Gently we progressed through the night

Gently through the nights and the still waters

And everywhere about us darkness and looming headlands

What sort of place was this, what sort of place?
