| Popis: | This paper is a journey through the career path of the American anthropologist Annette Barbara Cohen (1933-1997), mostly known by her married name Annette Weiner. Throughout the text, we will weave and unweave various moments of her personal and professional itinerary to pose on some aspects that we find significant in the production of other ways of looking at the world and doing anthropology. Weiner's itinerary constitutes what might be called a "singular" trajectory, characterized by diverse textures and moments, and by a permanent will to change whether vocational, or empirical and theoretical. The relevance of the thematic areas covered by this author – which take up and expand on topics of classical Anthropology – and the vastness of her work did not translate, however, into a greater circulation of her books and articles in Spanish. For this reason, in the following sections we reconstruct Weiner´s trajectory, based on primary and secondary sources such as interviews, academic works and obituaries. This paper ultimately aims to translate and to make available to a Spanish speaking audience information on the life and work of an anthropologist who found her analytical strength in the attention to detail. |
