Building on an ethnography of contemporary art worlds and intellectual life in Mexico City, this paper re-evaluates the dominant concepts that form the so-called ethnographic turn in contemporary art, including the emblematic concept of ethnography. To the ethnographic turn's largely sensorial, historical, people-oriented, cosmopolitan and postcolonial mode of attention, the paper juxtaposes another form of contemporary anthropological inquiry with alternate conceptual constellations and affective modes of research. The proposed contemporary anthropology affirms joyful pedagogies of the concept, cultivates modes of caring for assemblages, designs collaborative research mise-en-scènes that secede from national, diasporic and cosmopolitan geographies, and welcomes those risky creative acts that harbour untimely and non-organic modes of life. The stakes, the paper argues, are nothing less than the differential futures brewing in the contemporariness of contemporary anthropology and contemporary art
