En este texto, se piensa la antropología desde una perspectiva que remite ampliamente al ámbito de la crítica postcolonial de la modernidad. Además de reconocer las asimetrías que dividieron el Norte del Sur a través de los procesos coloniales, y sobre los cuales la antropología se ha consolidado como disciplina, se trata de cuestionar cómo ese legado hoy establece desafíos para que la antropología pueda constituirse como parte de una gramática de resistencia. En este sentido, las “líneas abismales de la modernidad” (Santos, 2009) son convocadas tanto para pensar el impacto de la desmemoria colonial en los procesos sociales y políticos, como para imaginar el lugar de una antropología capaz de movilizar esa memoria a las luchas del presente.
In this paper we reflect on anthropology from the perspective of the postcolonial critique of modernity. Recognizing the asymmetries that divided North and South through the colonial processes upon which anthropology was established as a discipline. We propose to question how this legacy imposes challenges so that anthropology can be part of resistance grammars. In that view, the “abyssal lines of modernity” (Santos, 2009) are convened both to think the impact of colonial oblivion in contemporary social and political processes, and to imagine the role of an anthropology which aims to mobilize that memory into the struggles of the present.
