Resumen
RICARD LANATA, Xavier. El irracional es el otro: Los mecanismos de la interpretación en Antropología. Anthropologica [online]. 2005, vol.23, n.23, pp.5-41. ISSN 0254-9212.
This article examines two dialogues between an anthropologist and alpaca shepherds of the Ausangate mountains (Cusco region, province of Canchis). From the description and analysis of the actual interpretation mechanisms used in the anthropological discipline (establishment of a lexicon, logical inferences, etc.), and of its consequences (in particular; the attribution of a pre-rational or irrational mentality), the article calls for a reflection on the methodological obstacles for an adequate anthropological interpretation of other cultures. It attempts in this way, to contribute to define, from the hermeneutic practice of anthropology, with a definition of the methodological protection that guarantee the constitution of real spaces of intercultural dialogue.
