Abstract

RIVERA ANDIA, Juan Javier. The «artistic knowledge» of an Anthropologist and the cultural studies in Peru: On a forgotten work of José María Arguedas. Anthropologica, Dec. 2011, vol.29, no.29, p.143-154. ISSN 0254-9212.

This text aims to make some questions about the reasons why an ethnographic archive joined by Jose Maria Arguedas has remained unpublished until now. Mainly, it is suggested that this lack of attention to a source like this may be related to a the way in which Arguedas conceived the production of knowledge in Anthropology.

Keywords: indigenismo; Peru; history of Peruvian Anthropology; epistemologies; world anthropologies.
