S. Harding, Emily Martin
SH: During the COVID-19 lockdown, Emily; her husband, Richard Cone; and I have been streaming TV series and then discussing the episodes via FaceTime three times a week. We’ve watched a variety of historically situated and grimly evocative series, among them Babylon Berlin, Giri/Haji, Small Axe and The Wire. Possibly under their influence, our ongoing side conversations about Trump’s latest atrocity took a sharp turn in early October 2020, when Emily discovered Trump time. This turn, for me, opened up the possibility of our thinking more seriously about the by-now clichéd notion that Trump and his followers live in an alternate reality. It allowed for shifting the emphasis from alternate-as-in-false to reality-as-in-actual, that is, as an inhabited and sensible world. So I want to begin our conversation by asking Emily, What is Trump time?

JL: One of the things that has interested me recently has been a desire to play with form. Formal experiments are going on in journalism, literature and many other sites as well as anthropology. Part of it has to do with new kinds of reading practices, as screens have been eviscerating our powers of concentration. There has been a sort of move toward a short form which I find interesting. For me, these experiments are about trying to find modes of communication that expand readership, that conjoin a public to think alongside them while retaining the complexity of the analysis, about finding modalities beyond critique. I’m super interested in formalism as a writer. I will also note that I am strangely positioned towards questions about the discipline because I’m actually an interdisciplinary scholar. I have training in anthropology and I like to claim a position within the discipline, but I’m not really a disciplinary person.

Angela Garcia
My landlord’s family has owned the Victorian house where I rent an apartment since the 19th century. Shortly after I moved in, he showed me a painting of a female relative in her fainting room. In the painting, she wears a cream-colored dress and rests on her couch. A small table sits next to it and holds a dainty glass of liqueur. Today, that fainting room is my home office. I often think of her while working, imagining her hiding from her family, quietly drinking in the room in which I write this essay. I’ve done the same for much of this past year, forcibly at first, after COVID-19 brought much of the world to a standstill. Over time, my office became a haven, not only because I have two teenage daughters stuck at home with me but also because it offers shelter from the rancorous noise that characterizes much of contemporary politics. The solitude and quiet of this small room doesn’t mean I’ve retreated from the world. Instead, it has provided a space for me to learn how to listen to it more closely. This lesson on listening was inspired by audio recordings amassed from eight years of ethnographic fieldwork in Mexico City. During that time, I studied dozens of small rooms called anexos (“annexes”), low-cost residential treatment centers for addiction.1 Anexos are run by and for the informal working poor and are usually one or two small rooms in size. They tend to be located within multifamily or tenement apartments and are thus enmeshed in a larger social environment. Dozens of people are held inside an anexo, most of whom are in their teens and early 20s. They’re forcibly taken there, usually by their mothers, not because they have drug problems per se but because they are vulnerable to the deadly criminal violence that surrounds the drug war. In this sense, an anexo is a kind of haven, although by no means does it offer solitude or quiet. On the contrary, anexos are places overflowing with people and noise. The simultaneous merging of my quiet office with the sonorous recordings of the anexo I was listening to evoked unanticipated feelings. My body vibrated with the anexo’s roaring soundscape, which in turn inspired a desire to listen in a way that brought into focus different sounds without reinforcing the idea that they were static or isolatable from each other. This orientation to listening has urgency for living with the volatility of the present. “Noise is what defines the social,” Michel Serres writes.2 This short essay asks what kind of social is possible when the noise that characterizes it feels deafening.
