This paper is a call for recovering the past as possibility for the
future of anthropology to be decolonized and decentered.
Following James Clifford’s appeal to recuperating “ethnographic
sensibilities” as strategies for living otherwise in the uncertain
time, I also stress the importance of the idea of dialogue not
only among the politically divided but also between the
temporary separated: the past and the present. The recent
demand for working off the past cannot be denied, for example,
as evidenced in the global spread of numerous movements
spurred by Black Lives Matter (hereafter, BLM). I narrate the
history of anthropological responses to decolonization as
continuous since the 1960s to the present by reinterpreting such
texts as Writing Culture as significant part of it. The idea of
dialogue as articulated by Mikhail Bakhtin offers a way to
reconceptualize the decentered anthropological knowledge as a
response to decolonization continuously reinvented.
