I consider three ways of thinking about time, especially the future, that are new to anthropology. The concepts of interference and haunting illuminate how pasts and futures interact so that consideration of “historicity” needs to be complemented by “futuricity.” Discussion of promissory notes and Dutch betting (hedging bets) prompts reassessment of forward planning, including prophecy and prediction. Scenario planning is viewed as a way of “dutching the future.” Anthropologists need to acknowledge that their analytical vocabularies are metaphor laden to enable more finely nuanced reflection and analysis. Explicitly incomplete accounts can achieve this, accommodating the messiness of temporality. This provides a way of understanding and accounting for haunting, interference from both the past and the future, with dutching as one way of responding.

困扰，荷兰和干扰

我考虑了人类学新的三种思考时间的方式，尤其是未来。干扰和困扰的概念阐明了过去和未来如何相互作用，因此对“历史性”的考虑需要由“未来性”补充。对期票和荷兰投注（对冲投注）的讨论促使重新评估前瞻性计划，包括预言和预测。情景规划被视为“荷兰未来”的一种方式。人类学家需要承认，他们的分析词汇充满了隐喻，可以进行更细致入微的反思和分析。明确不完整的帐户可以实现这一点，适应时间的混乱。这提供了一种理解和解释过去和未来的困扰和干扰的方法，荷兰语是一种回应方式。
