Review the anthropological mandate

  • Rosana Guber

Keywords: Latin American anthropology, anthropologies of the South, committed anthropologists, science policy.

Lhe anthropologists of our countries, that is, those of us who are outside the North Atlantic, a term that seems to me more appropriate than "the West", conceive ourselves as a theoretical, methodological and thematic sounding board of what is happening in the "central" countries. Exactly as Gustavo warned, the local crises of those countries, and their anthropologies, immediately take on a global character that involves the countries of the "other anthropologies" (Boscovich), "peripheral" (Cardoso de Oliveira), "second anthropologies" or "of the South" (Krotz).
