Focusing on the problem of time-the paradox of time's apparent universality and cultural relativity-Carol J. Greenhouse develops an original ethnographic account of our present moment, the much-heralded postmodern condition, which is at the same time a reflexive analysis of ethnography itself. She argues that time is about agency and accountability, and that representations of time are used by institutions of law, politics, and scholarship to selectively refashion popular ideas of agency into paradigms of institutional legitimacy. A Moment's Notice suggests that the problem of time in theory is the corollary of problems of power in practice.Greenhouse develops her theory in examinations of three moments of cultural and political crisis: the resistance of the Aztecs against Cortes, the consolidation of China's First Empire, and the recent partisan political contests over Supreme Court nominees in the United States. In each of these cases, temporal innovation is integral to political improvisation, as traditions of sovereignty confront new cultural challenges. These cases return the discussion to current issues of inequality, postmodernity, cultural pluralism, and ethnography.

Die Alten sagen uns mit ihrem tiefen historischen Erfahrungswissen, warum Staaten untergehen. Daraus lässt sich ein überzeitlich gültiges Raster von Untergangsformen entwickeln. Die Klassiker der Geschichtsschreibung haben uns deutlich vorgegeben und mühsam herausgearbeitet, wann und wie Herrschaften entstehen und wann sie untergehen, unter welchen Bedingungen sie gut sind und unter welchen schlecht. Das soll hier einleitend referiert und zugleich mit einigen historischen Beispielen exemplarisch unterfüttert werden. Wichtig für den Untergang ist dabei oft, dass die mythischen Grundlagen eines

Politisches Denken und Handeln setzt immer schon ein Bild vom Menschen voraus und doch bleibt der Mensch als politisches Argument häufig im Dunkeln. Frauke Höntzsch skizziert eine politikwissenschaftliche Anthropologie, deren Ziel es ist, die Struktur und den Status anthropologischer Argumente im politischen Denken offenzulegen, um sie so der Kritik zugänglich zu machen. Die Systematisierung anthropologischer Argumente im politischen Denken zeigt dabei nicht nur die Anthropologiekritik als anthropologische Argumentation, sondern generiert mit den untereinander konkurrierenden paradigmatischen Vorstellungen des Menschen zugleich ein politikwissenschaftliches Analyseinstrument.
