SKETCH ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS OF PORTUGUESE ETHNOLOGY AND ANTHROPOLOGY WITH POLITICS

Mieczysław Jagłowski

Abstract

Thesis on the links (often discreet) between scientific knowledge and the political will to power currently dynamizes research in many areas of the humanities and social sciences. In some cases, the disclosure of these relationships does not require master skills in the critical suspicion, as these were overt and recognized by scholars as a duty of science. This was exactly the case of Portuguese ethnology and anthropology since their formation in the nineteenth century until the Revolution of the Carnations (1974). Assuming that these historical links of Portuguese ethnology and anthropology with politics are not widely known, we dedicate this work to that issue

Keywords:

Portuguese ethnology and anthropology, politically engaged knowledge, ethnogenetic discourse, colonial anthropology
