Well... today I will talk about Pierre Clastres.
Althought I am recently studying Anthropology and i don't know the name's of many anthropologists... our teacher of Latinoamerican history tell us about a book, name's "society against the state" for Pierre Clastress and I found the text and I read a little and he impressed me... and a partner told me about other book of him, "research in political anthropology". He was an antropologist!!... and now, writing this, I found more information, his was an antropologist-etnologist with an anarchist trend born in France, in may of 1934 an participated in the events of May '68. He died, aged 43, in a car accident at Gabriac, Lozère.
I recently started to read his book about anthropological research... and I loved, even in his work, he made a critical to the society, consumerist, individualist and oppressed... I am really identify with the anarchist ideal... and I admire his form to write... he made me laughing... sometimes is very funny... even with a very serious work.
In his book(i will talk about I read) he tell us about his experience when he lived with the Yanomamis; a culture that continue exist in the Amazonia. He related all that he saw and experimented... and he didn't doubt in admire that culture for their continuity to our days

ResponderEliminarHi Ignacio!
ResponderEliminarI like very much the political anthropology!. But in our country isn´t very elaborate, I started reading Clastres, just "la sociedad contra el estado"and his anthropological research is very interesting.
Others interesting works are from Argentina and you can read something about legal anthropology (is something as "antropologia juridica").
Good luck !
Greetings
