Abstract

This is a forum discussion of the article “The Anthropology of Time: History and the State of the Art” by Nikolai Ssorin-Chaikov. Authors explicate the article’s main argument and critically engage with its main points, particularly with the concept of temporal multiplicity and relations within it. In doing so, they both complement Ssorin-Chaikov’s overview of the history and contemporary state of the anthropology of time and point out some of the directions in which this field might develop in the future.

ГИБРИДНАЯ ТЕМПОРАЛЬНОСТЬ: ПРОСТРАНСТВЕННАЯ МОБИЛЬНОСТЬ И РИТМЫ ЭКОЛОГИЧЕСКОГО ВРЕМЕНИ

Описывая концепции времени нуэров, Эдуард Эванс-Притчард различает структурное и экологическое время. Первое указывает на происходящие в определенной последовательности события, связанные с отношениями нуэров друг с другом в социальной структуре, а второе – на события, связанные с их отношениями с окружающей средой. Николай Ссорин-Чайков в свою очередь показывает, как они взаимосвязаны в “отношения обмена” между ними на ряде примеров, в том числе и из собственной полевой работы (см. также Ssorin-Chaikov 2000; 2003; 2016; 2017). Этот аспект обсуждаемой работы представляется мне наиболее интересным.

С момента публикации классических трудов Дюркгейма и Мосса экологическое время считалось временем “архаических” и “традиционных” обществ. Но как справедливо замечает Тим Ингольд, оспаривая предложенное Э. Томпсоном различение проблемно-ориентированного экологического и временно-ориентированного искусственного (часового) времени, на фундаментальном уровне современные люди остаются такими же проблемно ориентированными, как и люди архаичных обществ (Ingold 2000: 323–338). Работы современных авторов показывают высокую продуктивность концепта экологического времени для понимания сложносоставной темпоральности нашего высокотехнологичного мира (Ingold 2000; Петряшин 2017; Гончаров 2019; Карасева, Момзикова 2019). Более того, Ссорин-Чайков рассматривает экологическое время как основополагающее для “глубокого времени” и антропоцена.

Обсуждаемая статья подтолкнула меня к размышлениям о “гибридности” времени. Поясню это понятие, но начну с пространственного фактора. Эванс-Притчард указывал, что ритмы экологического времени точнее всего определяются по тем явлениям, от которых зависит передвижение людей (Evans-Pritchard 1940). Рассмотрим это при помощи моих полевых наблюдений на Обском севере в 2019 г. Предметом моего исследования были плавучие магазины (плавмагазины, далее ПМ). В период нефтегазового освоения севера Западной Сибири типовые самоходные ПМ широко применялись для снабжения геологов, нефтяников, газовиков и строителей (Соколова 2017). “Золотой век” ПМ пришелся на середину 1990-х – начало нулевых, когда платежеспособность и потребительский спрос населения северных территорий уже заметно возросли, но слабая транспортная инфраструктура еще не могла обеспечить поступление товаров в требуемом объеме. В этих условиях ПМ оказались чрезвычайно прибыльным бизнесом. Им занялись предприниматели из портовых городов южной части Обского бассейна – Тобольска, Тюмени, Омска, Томска. Сегодня ПМ – это уже уходящая натура. Их число заметно сократилось к середине 2010-х гг., когда наземные пути сообщения дотянулись до большинства населенных пунктов Средней и Нижней Оби, в некоторые из которых пришли крупные торговые сети.
