Quirós, E. Guillermo, Anthropology, a Discipline in an Improper Field. Perspectives from Economical Anthropology
This work is part of a discussion between two inverse tendencies, which over the past decades affects anthropology: a) the growth of the identity problems in the discipline and b) the decrease in the use of anthropological history. Quirós maintains that anthropology has a problem of transplantation to an improper field because it has been constituted for the study of the “others”, in a world divided between “us and them”.

Haber, Alejandro y Scribano Adrián. Hacia una comprensión de la construcción científica del pasado: ciencia y arqueología en el noroeste argentino
Towards an Understanding of the Scientific Construction of the Past: Science and Archaeology in North-Eastern ArgentinaThe objective of this paper is to undertake a sociological exploration of archaeology in North-eastern Argentina (its theoretical and methodological approaches and the elements which constitute the current dominant paradigm). Rather than a paper from an archaeological perspective it is a work on archaeology, which is the result of a series of interviews undertaken in 1991 during the X National Archaeology Congress in Argentina and the analysis of the papers which were presented there.

Vázquez, Héctor. La crisis de los paradigmas teóricos en antropología sociocultural y sus derivaciones en la construcción de la disciplina en los países periféricos
The Crisis of Theoretical Paradigms in Socio-cultural Anthropology and its Derivations in the Construction of the Discipline in Countries of the PeripheryVázquez believes that, both between the field anthropologists as well as theoretical ones, there is consensus in the recognition of a crisis which affects the theoretical paradigms in socio-cultural anthropology. To face this situation he proposes a theoretical approach which allows more complete and fecund interpretations: the historical-critical approach (current epistemological need). In this paper the author also ratifies the need for social scientists in countries of the periphery to promote and stimulate the production of scientific theory among themselves, for it is sometimes underestimated by field anthropologists.

Stagnaro, Adriana Alejandrina, La antropología en la comunidad científica: entre el origen del hombre y la caza de cráneos-trofeo (1870-1910)
Anthropology in the Scientific Community: Between the Origin of Man and Hunting Trophy Skulls (1870-1910)The objective of this work is to make a historical reconstruction of the anthropological activity at the end of the XIX century in Argentina, focusing on the experience of the three most relevant members of the scientific community: Florentino Ameghino, Francisco P. Moreno and Estanislao S. Zeballos. With this in mind, she studies the rising of the scientific community by analyzing the participation of the above mentioned personalities through their institutional work, their production capacity and their scientific and political actions. The paper tries to contribute to the study of the history of anthropology in Argentina by analyzing the connections between the scientific community and the social context, identifying situations where the interrelations between external and internal factors are outstanding in the shaping of scientific thought.
