Abstract

RAMIREZ SANCHEZ, Paz Xóchitl. Reflections on the teaching of social anthropology in Mexico. Alteridades [online]. 2011, vol.21, n.41, pp.79-96. ISSN 2448-850X.

It deals with the links between the anthropological trends in Mexico, its teaching-learning models and some of the reasons that influenced the formalizing of the courses on the history of social anthropology. The National School of Anthropology and History is discussed -specifically the degrees on ethnology and social anthropology: during its beginning and consolidation period (1937-1950); when we can detect changes in the trends of the discipline (1950-1968); and when the first courses on the history of social anthropology in Mexico are taught (1968-1980). It recovers testimonies of teachers and students that participated in the process.

Keywords : anthropology; science; teaching; nation.
