On anthropology’s future
This article stems from a dialogue between four “young” anthropologists from different parts of the world on the actual and future stake of what we refer as “anthropologies of the world”. Despite the diversity of our critics, a fundamental convergence occurs in the refusal of a disengaged elitism, of a comfortable reification of our objects of studies as well as of the erasure of the historical and socioeconomic conditions on which the global expansion and reproduction of our discipline is based As such, we underline the urgency to account for our research interlocutors’ daily preoccupations and to revendicate spaces and legitimacy to intervene within political as well as media spheres.
