SANABRIA-SANCHEZ, Fabián. EL "SIN ALIVIO" DE LA ANTROPOLOGÍA. Antipod. Rev. Antropol. Arqueol. [online]. 2006, n.2, pp.113-125. ISSN 1900-5407.

Considering the theoretical balance of the French Post-structuralist school as to the social recompositions of beliefs in the contemporary world, this text explores the anthropologist's illusio: to travel around the world in order to describe the ways of feeling, thinking and acting of "other human beings" who, unfortunately, seem distant from the descriptive schemes of the discipline that, from its beginnings, describes the symbology of territorial representations and cosmological systems. Actually, due to the impossibility of hiding excess figures (of times, spaces and individual references) that desperately accelerate the movement of present day societies, a new ethic enquiry appears in order to better describe and prescribe the habitat and the symbolic appropriation of territory: it is necessary to re-think today's possible relations between what is said and what is done, what is believed and what can be done from "an anthropology of the anthropology of the others" perspective.

Palabras clave : Supermodernity; contemporary anthropology; non-places of knowledge; epistemology; ethnographies of loneliness; ethnographic work.
