Abstract

GUBER, Rosana. THE ETHNOGRAPHIC AUTONOMY: ARGENTINE SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGISTS' FIELDWORK 1965-1975. Antipod. Rev. Antropol. Arqueol. [online]. 2010, n.11, pp.189-213. ISSN 1900-5407.

An anthropology of anthropology urges us to apply anthropological notions to our own discipline. this would help us understand those logics underlying a universal science, and the ways in which anthropologists create the very social world they analyze, while being created by it. here i analyze what argentine social anthropologists used as a basic resource to lay an autonomous disciplinary and political space vis-à-vis offcial academia and revolutionary vanguards. my claim is that a crucial aspect of this autonomy laid on arguments derived from the practical logic of feldwork, conceived of, in the early 70’s, as a methodological resource in the production of academic, political and social knowledge.

Keywords : Argentine anthropology; Fieldwork; ethnography.
