Abstract: In this paper, I describe the rhetorical conventions which allow participants in a planning or policy discussion to distinguish publicly between memories and anticipations and to agree as to what time it is now . The principal contribution of the paper is the conception of an ‘artificial present’ which allows both historical knowledge and forecasts to be brought to bear upon current decisions.
