“…Each of these parts can be replaced by other versions, and each of them can be new or old depending on where one stands to judge this. Therefore, it does not seem useful to use "anachronism" in terms of a "falling out of time,"--not just in conceptual terms (see Landwehr and Winnerling 2019) but also in the way it shows itself in the juridical field. The assumption that there is a strict chronology to which a device can be assigned is even thwarted by the field.…”

Anachronistic Progress? User Notions of Lie Detection in the Juridical Field

In recent years, progress in the field of lie detection has been linked to technological advances from classic polygraphs to neuroscientific brain imaging. In our empirical investigation, however, we found different notions of progress that do not comply with the popular understanding of progress as technological innovation. We follow the users of lie detection procedures in Germany in order to discern how they embrace seemingly old technologies and frame them in terms of novelty and improvement. We identify two notions of progress: one view of the polygraph in the juridical field as an instrument for procedural justice, and another view in which the device functions as a symbol of openness to improvements in the judicial system. These insights complement contemporary scholarship on lie detection by shining a critical light on the rhetoric of progress in relation to the promises of brain-based lie detection procedures. When analyzing the way polygraph tests are seen as progress, it becomes clear that the promises and hopes that are linked to this technology are of more relevance for its appraisal than its placement in time.

Resumo O objeto de análise deste artigo é o problema das fronteiras temporais e suas implicações para a escrita e pesquisa em história do tempo presente. O objetivo é problematizar a ideia de que o tempo presente se define a partir da demarcação de um “começo” ou “marco de início” que o separa dos tempos passados, argumentando que essa abordagem pode levar a um impasse teórico, na medida em que ela repousa no princípio normativo da separação ontológica entre passado e presente. Esse princípio, ele próprio uma construção histórica, foi a base de muitas objeções contra a legitimidade da própria história do tempo presente. Após indicar a recorrência da busca por um “começo” do presente e expor criticamente as bases teóricas de tal perspectiva, o artigo desenvolve a hipótese de que uma saída para o referido impasse reside no reconhecimento da multiplicidade e heterogeneidade da experiência temporal e do caráter performativo e político das fronteiras entre presente e passado. Uma análise das polêmicas em torno da recente onda de ataques a monumentos dedicados a personalidades históricas permite explorar algumas implicações práticas dos argumentos apresentados no artigo.
