New Release from BEROSE – Roque on Portuguese Colonial Anthropology

Ricardo Roque  publicou o artigo Equivocal Connections: Fonseca Cardoso and the Origins of Portuguese Colonial Anthropology na BEROSE International Encyclopaedia of the Histories of Anthropology,

Resumo

This article is about the equivoques of anthropology’s colonial encounter as well as the story of intellectual artefacts. It addresses an old debate on the genealogy of anthropological knowledge, at the core of which is a shared assumption: anthropologists and historians today perceive the history of anthropology as intertwined with colonial history. Few, if any, anthropologists or historians would disagree that the anthropology of non-Western peoples is genealogically embedded in imperial expansion or colonial contexts, and that we can hardly imagine colonial power without some sort of anthropological knowledge as bedside company.
