25. Henri Lefebvre, Everyday Life in the Modern World, trans. Sacha Rabinowitz (New York: Harper Torchbooks, 1971), 24–25. ’’ 26 It is also ‘‘material culture,’’ clothing, especially for Tosaka, life, furniture, houses, neighborhoods, environment—the solidity of filled space, Heidegger’s ‘‘there’’ (Da), the world of the present. This veiled, hidden, fugitive, and shadow existence contrasts sharply with Anderson’s ghosts, and what he designated as the haunt, the place of comparison, by offering the candidacy of the everyday present as a ground of comparability.
What I want to propose is that the contemporaneity of the noncontemporaneous allows us to return to the question of temporality and the temporalization of forms through which it is expressed in those social spaces whose appearance have been spatialized by the capitalist nationstate. 27 The geographic opening of the globe and its subsequent colonization brought the recognition of coexisting cultures that, through a kind of synchronous classification, were ordered diachronically—to make a ‘‘civilized’’ Europe appear ahead of an ‘‘uncivilized’’ Asia and Africa from a backward glance.
With Anderson there still remains the inordinate emphasis on the origin of capitalism and nationalism, and it hardly matters if it appears in Western Europe or the North and South American colonies of the eighteenth century. Despite his disclaimers of modularity, he is still convinced that subsequent transformations constitute ‘‘piratical’’ plundering of the original model. What he overlooks is how the model is rooted in a place rather than a process that cannot know an original from a copy, since instantiations will always be original.
