En este artículo considero varias tendencias emergentes en la antropología desde los 80, en el contexto de ascenso del neoliberalismo en tanto formación económica y gubernamental. Considero primero el giro hacia lo que llamo “antropología oscura”, es decir, la antropología que se enfoca en las dimensiones difíciles de la vida social (poder, dominación, desigualdad y opresión), como también en la experiencia subjetiva de esas dimensiones, en forma de depresión y desesperanza. Considero luego un abanico de trabajos que se presentan como una reacción explícita o implícita a este giro oscuro bajo la rúbrica de “antropologías de lo bueno”, incluyendo estudios de “la buena vida” y la “felicidad”, como también estudios de moralidad y ética. Finalmente, considero lo que podría ser pensado como un tipo diferente de antropología de lo bueno, es decir, nuevas direcciones en la antropología de la crítica, la resistencia y el activismo.Descargas
