Main themes
We shall go through the central tendencies of anthropology as a social science (evolutionism, diffusionism, functionalism, structuralism, etc.) through two questions that cross paths with these tendencies without being limited to them: 1) the relation between self and other; 2) the question of particularity, or of cultural identity.
