Naturalizando privilegios: sobre la escritura y la formación antropológica

No. 2 (2006-01-01)

Abstract

This essay highlights the articulation of a series of privileges around training and writing practices among anthropologists in Colombia. The essay examines, on one hand, the posture adopted by certain anthropologists as owners of their texts, which leads them to create obstacles in their circulation, and the political implications of such a posture. On the other, the article raises questions about the introduction of graduate anthropology programs in the country based on the undermining of the relevance and specificity of existing undergraduate education.

Keywords: intellectual property, anthropological writing, training, graduate programs, Colombian anthropology
