Intersecciones entre la antropología y los estudios culturales: el análisis sobre lo ？político？ y la política de nuestros estudios

in spite of their mutual caricaturization, anthropology and cultural studies share a set of analytical approaches which could result in immensely fruitful dialogues. in this brief reflection i intend to present some contributions from both fields of study compared to the analysis both theoretical and empirical on ''the political'' and power. in the first section, i build upon the relationship between culture and power as one of the most interesting sinergies. a second line of joint discussion is a conceptualization of the political as an issue demanding an encompassing study, including daily practices in language, symbolism, aesthetics, and so on. finally, a discussion that has marked both anthropology and cultural studies is politics in our studies, resulting in a mutual reflexivity regarding the context in which we conduct research and write, and the bet on action and ''activism'' in our academic production.
