This essay charts the history of the anthropology of time from the vantage point of what I see as its

key contemporary problem: that of temporal multiplicity. I find it endemic to virtually every ethnographic

context where one finds often radically different ways to understand time, measure it and

account for the past, the present and the future. The problem is, if ethnographically time is multiple,

how can we understand relations between different temporalities in such multiplicities? How are they

organised? Drawing on my own ethnography and on other current work, I argue for at least two different

ways to conceptualise multiplicity through relations of (1) change and (2) exchange between

different temporalities
