Medina, Andrés, Ethnography as Study in Regards to Nation: Three Experiences
The objective of this paper is to examine the work of three Latin American anthropologists who are outstanding for the quality of their work within the framework of national processes. In different ways, all three of them influence anthropological work in their respective countries and in their respective countries and in their national culture. The study of these authors allows Andrés Medina to analyze the production process of anthropological scientific knowledge in Latin America as part of the general cultural production. He identifies common elements in these processes such as the active role played by the State in national cultures and the ethnic and linguistic diversity of ancient American cultures. These characteristics allow us to understand the common problems faced by anthropologists trying to develop their scientific work, to identify the scientific community to which they belong to and their relation to State policies.

Solano Sáez, Juan. The Process of Development of Anthropology in the Central Sierra: Perú
The purpose of this paper is to establish and clarify the main lines in anthropological studies undertaken in Peru’s central region form the twenties to this day, as well as outlining some suggestions so as to pinpoint the most relevant research problems. The analysis is sustained on the revisions of anthropological studies which were somehow published. Solano identifies and analyzes five stages within the anthropological development in this region: the indigenistic stage; the culturalist influence; structural functionalism; the period of questioning and the boom in agrarian studies; and the post-reform period.

Crivos, Marta A.; Brunazzo, Graciela A.; García, Stella Maris y Miotti, Laura L., A Teaching Experience of Anthropological Theory
A pedagogical experience started in the only Anthropology Teaching Center in Argentina where this discipline is considered within the frame of Natural Sciences, is presented. Although there are three well defined specialization areas: biological, archaeological and socio-cultural; with few articulation points among each other, students and graduates at La Plata Museum share a certain “family resemblance” wich makes them different from their colleagues at other centers in the country. This may be due to strictly local features of their training as naturalist-anthropologist according to scientificity as well as theoretical-methodological patterns ruling the natural-scientific task in different stages of institucional history. Anthropologist have been teaching and researching in this environment for decades, in close contact with colleagues of different branches of Natural Sciences. Taking into account the characteristics of this local tradition, which has become a relevant alternative both nationally and internationally, we aim at exploring theoretical-methodological assumptions underlying the disciplinary task in the three specialization areas and their possible interrelations. Afterwards, we intend to characterize the conceptual models wich have guided the production and reproduction of anthropological knowledge at the Natural Sciences School and Museum of La Plata, identifying trends and possible ways of development.

Gómez Rivera, María Magdalena, On the Nature of Indigenuos Law: Constitutional and Legal Recognition
This paper studies the legal aspects of relations between the State and indigenous groups. It is based on the historical revision of the main tendencies and stages which can be observed in México. The author underlines the collective nature of indigenous law and its main expressions. It particularly touches on the process of the most recent amendment to the fourth article of the Mexican Constitution, which regulates a large part of the relations between the State and the indigenous population; it also analyzes the meaning of the ratification by the Mexican government of Agreement 169 of the International Labor Organization. To conclude, the author presents an inventory of legal and political problems implicit in this regulation, which is still missing from the current legal framework, she comments on the proposals presented by different sectors, including some official ones, in regards to this regulation.
