DESCRIPTION:Ed Pulford  (University of Manchester): Time and progress acr
 oss postsocialist China’s northeastern borders.\n\nCrossing borders betw
 een states often involves a sense of temporal shift\, with varied atmosp
 heres of ‘advancement’\, ‘backwardness’ or ‘development' inseparable fro
 m migrants’ or travellers' experiences of new places. While in many cont
 exts this may reflect the everyday embeddedness of Enlightenment notions
  of progress and nationhood which became globally hegemonic under Europe
 an empire\, for people crossing borders among (post)socialist states suc
 h temporalising visions have a distinctive valence. This is particularly
  evident at the three-way geographical convergence of China\, North Kore
 a and Russia\, a site - in non-pandemic times - of constant cross-border
  encounter and exchange among populations with starkly different experie
 nces of high socialist linear ‘progress' and its more ambivalent afterma
 ths. Drawing on fieldwork around this triple border\, this paper shows h
 ow day-to-day temporal experiences interface with grandiose visions from
  Maoist\, Soviet and Kimist socialisms to the Soviet collapse and ‘rise’
  of China\, and explores how established anthropological thinking around
  ‘coevalness’ might be made an ethnographic as well as an analytical con
 cern.
