teoría antropológica, neoliberalismo, Marx, Foucault, bienestar, moralidad, crítica, resistenciaResumen
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
