leyendo a Fuenzalida

This article offers a brief account of Fernando Fuenzalida’s intelectual trajectory. His anthropological research can be tracked along several stages that show a series of transformations in society, as well as in the subject of analysis, and interpretation, and in his approach to the subject-matter. Throughout four decades he switches from an ethnographic approach centered on culture to approaches that give more importance to political and social transformation. In recent years he returns to global and cultural topics.
