BRANCO, Jorge Freitas. Meanings of anthropology in Portugal in the 1970s. Etnográfica [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.2, pp.365-378. ISSN 0873-6561.

This article situates events and processes that occurred during the 1970s, relevant for the development of anthropology in Portugal. It is based on both information already available as well as lived experience. Because at the time anthropology was not yet an entirely institutionalized discipline, we propose that this period constituted a phase of intellectual mourning provoked both by the shock of colonial emancipation and by a shifting scientific paradigm (abandonment of the search for harmony or egalitarianism, in favor of new focuses on conflict and inequality).

Palavras-chave : Portugal; social anthropology; cultural anthropology; 1970s; mourning; changing paradigm.
