| description | This paper deals with some of the theoretical issues raised, during the last years, by some Fabio Dei's contributions and the debates they have produced. In particular, I argue that the "critical anthropology" identified in those interventions as a polemical objective, rather than an "invention" can be read as a projection, in the national academic field, of theoretical tensions that had crossed the Anglophone North American anthropologies in the late '90s of the last century. Having very quickly presented those international scenarios, I point out how in them (and partly in the national scene itself) many of the theoretical issues that emerged in those years then led to a radical reconfiguration of current and basic notions, research practices and styles of ethnographic representation; and therefore it is proposed that the discussion, even polemical, should be able to be declined on the level of concrete outcomes of research. Finally, I speculate, just as quickly, on the asynchronisms and arrhythmias between trends operating in the North American and domestic academic-scientific fields, and their possible political implications |
