ABSTRACT
For a long time anthropology was ddincd bytht: exoticism ofits subject malter and by lhe distance, conce-ived as both cultural and geographic, that separated the researcher from the re..~earchcd group. This situation has changed. ln a few years we may assess the twcnticth century as characterized by a long and complex movement, with theoretical and politicai implications, that replaced lhe ideal ofthc radical encounter with alterity with research at homc. But "home" will, as always, incorporate many meanings, and anthropology will maintain, in its paradigmatíc assumption, a socio-gcnctic aim toward an appreciation for, and an nnderstanding of, diffcrcm.:e. Jn some cases, differcncc will be lhe routeto theoretical universalism viacomparison; in others, it will surface as a denunciation of exolicism o r a dcnial ofits appeal. This review examines different moments and conte xis in which an attempt at developing anthropology "ar h orne" becamc an uppropriute quesl.
INTRODUCTION
Until recently, the ide a ofan anthropology ai home was a paradox anda contradictiun ofterms. Throughout the twentieth century, howcver, the distances between ethnologists and those they observed-----<~nce seen as "'informants"have constantly decreased: frnm lhe T robrianders to the Azande, from thcsc
groups to the Bororo by way of the K wakiutl, by midcentury the academic
community discovered that the approach, not the subjet.:t matter, had unwit-

tingly alway,; defined the anthropological endeavor. Lévi-Strauss (1962) played a fundamental role in this change ofpcrspcctive hy imprinting a horizontal sense to wcial practices and hcliefs in any latitude; Firlh (1956) and Sclmeider(l96S) pruvided the necessary test ofvalidity in therealm ofkinship ,;tudies. The awareness that the search for radical othcrncss cuntained a politicai component allowed ''indigenous" anthropologies to enter lhe scene during the 1970s (Fahim 1982); in the 1980s Geertz ( 19g3) could proclaim that "wc are ali natives now." But admonitions from the older generatiun attc~tcd that lhe movement from overseas to across the hall was nol smuoth; stud~,r:ing at home was seen by many as a dlfficult ta<,k and hetter entmsted to researchers who had gained experience dscwhere (Dumont 1986).
From the beginning, anthrupologists who had their origins in former anthropological sites wcrc cxcmpted from the search for alterity provided that thcir training had bccn undcrtaken with the proper mentors. Thus Malinowski gavc bis approval to Hsian-T ung Feito publish h is monograph on Chinese peasants, rcmarking that if self-knowledge is lhe most diftícult to gain, thcn ·'an anthropology of one's own people is the most arduous, but also thc most valuable achievement of a fieldworker" (Malinowski 1939;xix). The approval that RadcliftC-Brovm and Evans-Pritchard gavc to the study by Srinivas (1952) on the Coorgs oflndia also suggcsls that the canon could bedeveloped independent of shared practices. The ideal of overseas research, however, remained the goal to be reached. Dccadcs later, and as pari of a tradition that had fumly questioned the need for externa I fieldwork (Béteille & Madan 1975; Srinivas 1966, 1979; Uberoi 1968), Saberwal (1982) remarked thatfor many, ficldwork in India could be seen as a soft experience, because it was accomplished mostly within the language, caste, and region of origin of the rcscarcher.
ln the case ofresearchers from metropolitan centers, who rcccntly carne to accept that they too are natives, the drive for bringing anthropology home has various motivations. Some explain 1t as one ofthe inevitable conditiuns ofthe modem world (Jackson I987a); for others, it emerges from thc purpose ro transform anthropology into cultural critique (Marcus & Fischer 1986). ln the United States parlicularly, when anthropology comes home it is recasl as "studies" (cultural, feminis!, science and technology) and seen as part of"antidisciplinary" arenas (Marcus 1995), thus attesting to an inherent affinity between anthropology and exoticism. Whatcvcr lhe case, a lineage thatjustifies the attempt is always traced, bc it from Raymond Firth and Max Gluckman (Jackson 1987b), or from Margarct Mead and Ruth ilenedict (Marcus & Fischer 1986 for Mead, Geertz 1988 forBenedict).
ln places where anthropology was ratificd lncally via social sciences during the 1940s and 1950s (e.g. Brazil and lndia}. mainly as pari ofrnovements toward "modernization," an open dialogue with national politicai agendas became inevitablc, thus reproducing canonical European patterns (E Beckcr
ANTHROPOLOGY AT HOME 107
1971). ln these contexts, alterity has rarely been uncommitted and (Weberian) interested aspccts of knowledge are oftentimes explicit. This distinct quality has blinded many observers to a timeless quest for theon:tical excellence, fundamental in these contexts, which results in a pattern of a thrcefold dialogue: with peer anthropologísts and sociologists, with the metropolitan traditions of knowledge (past and present), aml wilh the subjects ofresearch (Madan 1982b, Pe.inmo 1992, Das 1995).
In this essay llook at some ofthe index i cal components ofthe term h orne in the expression "anthropology at home." First, I examine the moment and the context in which the attempt to devclop anthropology at home became an appropriate goal. I tbcus my attention on lhe socially legitimate centers of scholarly production-that is, as per Gerholm & Hannerz ( 1982b), the sites of ''intemational anthropology"-where the ideal of a long period offieldwork and overseas research was first established. This endeavor includc!. Europe and the United States. (I assume that nowadays the United States plays a role socially equivalent to that ufEngland during the first half ofthe century o r France in the golden moments ofslructuralism.)
ln a second part, I shift to a different perspective. I take a look at othemess in contemporary anthropology in Brazil. Contrary to lraditional canons ofanthropology, thc overall panem has been to undertake rescarch at h orne (though the expres~ion "anthropology at home" is notusual). I point to a contiguration of different pmjccts lhat, though not exclusive, may bc distinguished as attempts at radical othcmess, at the study of "contact" with othemess, at "nearby" othemess, or as a radicalization of "us."
By indicating variances in the nolion of othemess, I concludc with an agenda tbrthe examination ofanthropology with its dual face: atthe sarne time one and many.
ANTHROPOLOGY AT HOME
ln the context ofa new historical awareness at "intemational" centers ofproduction, personal concerns about the future of anthropology in the 1960s gave way in thc 1970s to more sociological analysis, dennuncing politicai relations that had always been a trait of anthropological fieldwnrk. Soon the idea of an anthropology at hnme made its debut in Europe, while in Lhe United States it twirled into "studics," ai the intersection of several experimcnls in the humanities.
Antecedents: Worries in the Center
ln the 1960s, two minor papers hy prcstigious anthropo\ogists expressed pamdoxical feelings about the future of anthropology. Exactly at the point intime when the discipline had gathered momentum, its subject maller ran the risk of
108 PEIRANO
disappearing. ln France, Lévi-Strauss (1961) wamed that anthropology might become a scicncc without an object because of the physical disappearance of whole populations following contacl or becausc uf the rejection of anthropology by newly independent nations. Would it survive? .For Lévi-Strauss, thi~ development was a unique chance for anthropologists to become awarc. ifthey had not been previously, that the discipline had never bccn defined as the study ofprimitives in absolute terms but instead hac.l been conceived as a certain relationship between observer and obscrvcd. Thus, to the extent that lhe world became smaller, and Western civilization ever more expansive and complexrebom everywhere as creole--differences would be closer to the obscrvcr. There should bc no fear: No crisis of anthropology was in sight.
For Goody (1966) the "single-handed community study ofuncomplicated socielies" (1966:574) was no longer pus:;ible as primitives became players in much larger and complex social networks in Third World countries. It wa.s a crossroads for anlhropology, which could either become social archacology, a branch ofhislmical sociology based on "traditional preserve," or accept hlminginlo comparative sociology. Suggesting a "decolonizalion ofthe social scienccs," Goody stressed tbat the distinction between suciology and social anthropology in England was basically xenophobic: Sociology was lhe study of complex societies, social anthropology of simplc ones, but in the new nations, lheir "other culture" was "our sociology" (1966:576).
Lévi-Strauss's optimism and Goody's proposal for disciplinary adjustment in the 1960s must be seen in the conlext oflhc undisputed prestige ofthe discipline. Latour (1996) bas characlerizc.d the ethnographerofthatperíod as an antithetical King Midas, "curscd with the gift of turning everything to dust" (1996:5). But lhat decade also witnessed Leach's (1961) relhinking of anthropology, thc lcgitimization ofthe study of complex societics (Banton 1966), Firth (1956) and Schneider (1968) making incursions into studying their own socielie~ via kinship, and lhe publication ofMalinmvski's ficld diaries. The latter alone lcd tu much dispute (Darnell 1974), and in a rcjoinc.lcr first published in 1968 in the United States, Stocking ( 1974) remiml.ed u..-, lh!!l: anthropological ficldwork was a historical phenomenon, thus implying that it could just as well be lransicnt.
Relations of Power and Selj:Rejlection Ofcoursc, in 1965 Hallowell (1974) had already laid lhe foum.lations for looking at anthropology as •·an anthropological problcm," and soon after, Hymes (1974) proposed a reinvention of anthmpology. Retrospectively, the idea of centering one's questions on thc conditions that produced anthropology in the West proved lo bc thc hasis for much in the self-reflection projects lhat followed. Intemational conferences resembling collective rituah of expiation wcre a mark of the 1970s. These conferences led lo books that became well
ANTHROPOLOGY ATHOME 109
known to the profession, and the frequent publication of pro files of different national trends ofthe discipline hecame usual in prominentjoumals. ln some cases., joumals published spccial issues on these topics.
CONFERENCES m THE 1970s Asad ( 1973a) was the classic publication of the period, the result of a conference under the auspices of lhe University ofHull in 1972. lL was direct in its denunciation that British (functional) anthropology had been basedon apowerrelationship between the West and the Third World. Anthropology bad emergcd as a distinctive discipline ai the beginning of lhe colonial era, became a flourishing academic profession toward its close, and throughout this period devotcd itself to description and analyses "carried out by Europeans, for a European audience---of non-European societies dominated by European power" (Asad 1973b:l5). Such an inequitable situation could be transcended only by its inner contradictions.
Diamond (19 80a) and F ahim' s ( 1982) papers carne out of conferences sponsored by the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research. Openly Marxist, Diamond ( 1980b) alluded to national traditions only to dismiss them; for him, professional anthropology was an instance of diffusion by domination meaning that •·an Jndian or African anthropologist, trained in this Westem technique, does not behave as an Indian or African when he behaves as an anlhropologist. ... he lives and thinks as an academic European" (l980b: 11-12). [ln this sense, Diamond was in a position different from the positions ofthose who, like Crick (1976), at that moment tried to encourage antluopologists of othcr cultures to develop "traditions oftheir own-scrutinizing themselves in ways which are not just a pai e retlection of our interest in them-but also that they witl make us the object oftheir speculation" ( 1976: 167).]
ln this contexl, when Fahim (1982) brought togethcr a number of anthropologists from different non-Westem parts of the world (the organize r was an Egyptian anthropologist), the term indigenous anthropology was proposed as a working concept to refer to thc practice of anthropology in one's native country, society, andlorethnic group. 1 From the organizer's pointofview, the symposium accomplished its goal ofreplacing tbe Wcstern versus non-Western polemics with a constructive dialogue, in the sarne process shifting the focus from indigenous "antluopology" to "anthropologists" (Fahim & Helmer 1982). Madan ( 1982a,b) received special credit from tbe editor for h is forceful defense ofthe idea that the crucial discussion should not address where anthropology is done or by whom, merely rcplacing one actor with another, but rather should face up to a much-needed change in anthropology's perspective. Because anthropology is a kind of knowledge, ora fonn of consciousness, that

arises from the encounter of cultures in the mind ofthe researcher, it cnahles us to undcrstand ourselves in relation to others, becoming a projcct ofheightened self-awareness.
ANTHROPOLOGY OF ANTilROPOLOGY A second perspective conceming different contexts for anthropology can be discerned in the challenge some anthropologists felt about looking at the discipline with anthropological eyes, thus following the wise lead given by Hallowell (1974). McGrane (1976) attempted to face the paradoxical situation that the discipline sees everythíng ( everything but itself) as culturally bound by tracking the European cosmogrnphies from the sixteenth lo thc carly twentieth centuries. [See Fabian (1983) for a similar !ater attempt.] Pcirano (1981) contrasted Lévi-Strauss's cla~sical position on the issue of the reversibility of anthropological knowledge with Dwnont's (1978) assertion that there is no symmetry between thc modem pole where anthropology stands and the nonmodem pole (thus frustrating the idea of a multiplicity of anthropologies). The thesis explored the variability of anthropological questions in different sociocultural contexts, and Rrazil was used as its starting point.
Alsn framed within the concern for an anthropology of anthropology was Gerholm & Hannerz ( 1982a), whose cditors, untroubled by whether traditions were Westem or non-Westem, invited anthropologists from differcnt backgrounds (which included India, Poland, Sudan, Canada, Brazil, and Sweden) to discu.ss the shaping of national anthropologies. Di!;tinguishing between a prosperous mainland of British, US, and Frcnch disciplines (i.e. "intemational" anthropology) and "an archipelago of large and small islands" on the periphery (Gerholm & Hannerz 1982b:6), they inquired into d1e structure of center-periphery relations and its inequalities; confronted thc variety of discipline boundaries; looked at the backgrounds, training, and careers of anthropologists; and asked: Could it be that if anthropo1ogy is an intcrprctation of culture, this intcrpretation itself is shaped by culture? Diamond (1980a) and Bourdieu {1969) were mentioned as stimuli, and, as in Fahim's book, here Saberwal's (I 982} far-reaching implications were given special attention by the editors. Stocking (1982) closed the special issue with ·•a view from the Cl.'Il
ter" in which, taking the lead from O Velho (1982), he highlighted thc "privileges ofunderdevelopment" while distinguishing between anthropologies of "empirc-building" and of"nation-building," alluding to thc question ofthe reversibility of anthropological knowledgc suggested by Peirano (1981). (See Stocking 1982:178.)
Doing Anthropology at Home
Displayed in the titles oftbe books, doing anthropology at home became alegitimate undertaking for Messerschmidt (1981) and Jackson (19S7a). But
ANTHROPOLOGY AT HOME 111
h orne, fOr them, was basically thc United States and Europe. That thc Mediterranean area, for instance, remained unstudicd by insiders- ·and, if it had been studied, the literaturc could be ignored-is shown in Gilmorc (1982), where the author reveals bis explicit choice to review only works publisbed in English.
[n Messerschmidt (1981), thc subjects of research were those ncarby the ethnographers in the United States and Canada: kinspeople, elder1y in a large city, a bureaucratic environment, a rnining company. Offering an extensive bibliography, the editor proposed that the tenn "insider anthropology" carri.ed less-ncgative cormotations than, for inslance, "indigenous" or ''native." (The sarne term was also proposed by Madan 1982b.)
Jackson (1987a) went further and brought togcther anthropologists from Britain, Sweden, DL'llmark, Zimbabwe, Israel, and France, underthe sponsorship of the Association of Social Anthropologists in England. Once again,. home was I!urope (or, suggcstively enough, Africa), and non-European research would be a specific catcgory. Jackson ( 19M7b) asked why thc close relationship between anthropulogy, folklore, and archaeology that cxisted in England no longer obtained., and Jackson suspected-in a comparison to sociology-that the differencc between them was a !ove of(by one) anda distaste for (by the other) modem society: Anthropologists were the folklorists ofthe exotic (1987b:8). Although research abroad would continue, it was clear that fieldwork at h orne wa~ here to stay. For some ofthe contributors, h orne was always transient, but whcrcver it was (Strathem 1987), there was a need to proceed by a phenomcnology of the idea of remoteness (Ardcner 1987). Okely { 1987) maintained that homc was an increasingly narrow territory in a postcolonial era; Dragadze (1987) commented on the fact that a Soviet anthropologist is a historian, not a sociologist; and Mascarenhas-Keyes (1987) discussed lhe process by which a native anthropologist becomes a '"multiple native."
ll\ THF. UNlTED STATES The project of bringing anthropology home in the United Statcs was cast with an enonnous measun: ofsociallegitimacy and success as "cultural critique." FollowingGeertz's interprctiveproposal, postmodernism caught on as if by powerful magic. ln due time, the affinity with the idea of bringing anthropology home was lost, but it may yct be recalled: "Indeed, we believc thal lhe modem tOrmulation of cultural antluopology depends for its fui! rcalizationonjust such a catching up ofits lightly atteoded to criticai function at h orne with lhe presem lively transfonnation of its traditionally emphasized descriptivc function abroad" (Marcus & Fischer 1986:4). "Home" and "abroad" continucd to be distinctive sites, but by dcnouncing exoticism, there was a sense that a metamorphosis was being advanced and ethnographers were moving pa:.t anthropology toward experimentatilm and cultural studies. The tenn "post anthropology" was hinted in Clifford & Marcus ( 1986), with nove! intellectual lineages drawn or emphasized, whether from
112 PEIRANO
the Chicago school ofurban sociology (Clifford 1986) o r from Margaret Mead in the United States and Raymond Williams in England (Marcus & Fischer 1986). ln this contexl, the term "repatriated anthropology" was suggested.
For Clifford {1986), the new experimentation was bcing developed in works such as Latour & Woolgar (1979) on laboratory biologists, Marcus (1983) on the dynastic ri eh, Crapanzano ( 1980) on new ethnographic portraits, all ofthem opening the way for successors, such as Traweek (1988) on physicists, Fischer & Abedi ( 1990) on postmodern dialogues acros)i cultures, and the subsequent questionings of classi.c tlelds and conccpls such as ethnography (Thomas 1991) and cu1ture (Abu-Lughod 1991). For some, repatriated (or at home) anthropology was identified as "Amcrican culture" studies: ''The boundaries between 'tOreign,' 'ovcrscas,' 'exotic,' or even 'primitive' nr 'nonliterate' and 'ai home' or 'in our culture' are disappearing as lhe world culture becomes more uniform atone levei andmore di verse at another" (Spindler & Spindler 1983:73; see also Moffatt 1992, Brown 1994, Traube 1996).
Parallel to tbese deve1opments, Stock.ing( 1983a,b) 1aunched tbe successful HOA (Historyof Anthropology) series, cxplaining intheflfstintroductory texl that tbe profound issues ofdiscip1inary identity that tbe discipline was facing in the early l980s had mubilized anthropo1ogists into looking at the history of anthropology. Thc diagnosis was familiar: "With lhe withdrawal ofthe umbrella ofEuropean power that long prolected thcir entry inlo the colonial tleld, anlhropologists found it increasingly difficu1tlu gain access to (as well as ethically more problematic to study) the non-European 'others' who had traditionally excited the anthropologica1 imagination" (1983b:4).
Conferences and congresscs conti.nued to produce publications well received by the profession (c.g. Fox 1991), and the launching ofncw journa1s (e.g. Cultural Anthropology in 1986 and, a few years ]ater, in 1988, Public Culture) sibrnaled new arenas for experimentation and for the remaking ofexisting disciplines: "One source oftransfonnation is frum the sheer power and influence ofideas frum the margins toward the putative ccnter or mainstream. Anolhcrsimultaneous source is fi"om distaff v o ices situated within the realm of the official" (Marcus 1991:564). [Meanwhi1c, Dialectical Anthropology ( 1985) dedicated part ofan issue to discuss "National Trends, '' which included lhe cases ofFrench, British, Soviet, and German anthropology.j
Of course, Said (1978) had been a main rcference from the moment it was puhlished, and issues aboutcolonialism continued to be ana1yzed ( e.g. Thomas 1994), with close connections lo the literature on gender and feminism (e.g. Dirks et all994, Behar & Gordon 1995, Lamphere et all997).
Post-Exotic Anthropology? A shift from the concerns with writing to attention on sites and audiences has marked the present decade. Strathem (I 995) examines the (sbifting) contexts
ANTHROPOLOGY AT HOME 113
within whicb people make different orders of knowledgc for themselves (including anthropologists) as a prclude to questioning assumptions about global and local :rx:rspectives. (Meanwhile the European Association of Social Anthropologists was founded in 1990 and two yean~later launched Socta!Anthropology.)
Almost simultaneously, two books on locations werc published: Clifford (1997) examines "routes,. as spatial practices of antbropology, noting that fieldwork has been based on a distinction between a home base and an exterior place of discovery. However, notions of "homes and abroads, community insides and outsides, fields and metropo)es are increasingly challenged by postexotic, decolonizing trends,. (1997:53). Fields must be negotiated; and because there is no narra tive form or way ofwriting inherently suited to a politics oflocation, anthropolugical distance sometimes may be "challenged, blurred, relationally reconstructed" (1997:81). Gupta & Ferguson (1997a,b) also recognize tbat antbropology has developed as a body ofknowledge based on regional specíalízation. The spatial separation betwccn "the field" and "home" )eads the author& to examine the fieldworker as an anthropological subjcct. Whether "postmodern migrancy" (Ahmad 1992) may be at stake or not, authors feel a need to propose solutions: Clifford (1997) suggests that traditional fieldwork will ccrtainly maintain its prestige, but the discipline may come "to resemble more closely the 'national' antbropologies of many European and non-W estem countries, with short, repeated visits lhe norm and fully supported research years rare" (1997:90). Gupta & Ferguson see possible altemative solutions for fieldwork in strong and long-establishcd "national" traditions as those of Mexico, Brazil, Gennany, Russia, or India ( 1997b:27), and thcy suggest that from "spatial sites" anthropologists move to "politica] locations," following feminist scholarship.
Such alternatives were the guiding inspiration for Moore (1996). who looked allocal practices and discourscs as sets of "situated knowlcdges" (cf Haraway 1988), ali ofwhich are simultaneously local and global. For the editor, the future of anthropological knowledge must be seen as the result of a challenge by Third World, Black, and feminist scholars.
Audiences h ave beco me another topic. Almost two decades afterthe unsuccessful attemptby MMJ Fischer (unpublished data) to include an introduction for Iranians different from one for Americans (see Fischer 1980), the concern with readership finally emerged in Europe (Driessen 1993) and in the United States (Brettelll993), in lhe context of queries related to a "politics of ethnography." An awareness of audiences led Marcus (1993a,b), in bis introduction to the frrst issue of Late Editi.ons, to propose that the diffcrent volwnes of the series had "globally-mindcd U.S. academics"(1993b:3)as their privilegedtargets, in an attempt to prompt a meeting of antbropology and cultural studies. The purposewas "to evoke a combined sense offamiliarity and strangeness ln
114 PEIR.<I..NO
U.S.-university educatcd readers," by selecting subjecL<; that share a sort of frame ofrefercncc and experience with them "but thcn differ from them by cultural background and situated fin-de-sii:cle prcdicament" (Marcus 1993b:5).
Questions of audience, location, politic~, and theory were present in the special is~uc of PubUc Culture devoted to the discussion of Ahmad ( 1992), but only to reveal thedisparityofinterpretations about what theol)' is ali about and whetherthere could be any agreemcnt on the field of"politics ofthcury" (Appadurai et all993, Ahmad 1993). Another attempt at an intemational discussion was put forurard by Borofsky ( 1994}, in a collcctive publication that carne out of a scssion organized for the 1989 Amcrican Anthropological Associatinn's annual meeting. The book incllldcd individual statements on alllhurs' "intellectual roots." The project was extended in 1996, with anothcr section at lhe sarne meeting, ln which lhe Iiii e "How others see us: American cultural anthropology as thc observed rather than the observer" indicated an exercise in reversibility (despi te tbe fact tbat "otbers;' with few exccptions, were located in lhe United Statcs or Europe).
Among conternporary etbnographies at home, I singlc nut Rabinow ( 1996), on the invention of lhe polymerase chain reaction, for a number of reasons: flrst, for thc classic anthropo!ogical motivation [''I was often intrigued by, but sh·plical of, the claims ofmiraculous knuwledge made possible by new tcchnologies supposedly ushering a ncw era in the understanding oflífc and unrivaled prospects for the improvcment ofhealth" (Rabümw 1996:2)). Second, I single out this referencc for its canonical strucrure: The first two chapters present the ecology ofthe invcntion, lhe (ever noble) third chaptcr fm:uses on the processes that culminatcd in the invention, while the \ast two demonstrate that an idea has little value unless it is put in action. Third, lhe hook is innovative in the process ofmaking both interviewees and readers collaborate in the text; in the style of Late Editions, transcripts of conversatiuns with scienrists, technicians, and busines~mcn are presenred. Finally, despite prulcsts ofantidisciplinarity, the book also reinforccs the idea that even at home, Lhe ethnologist needs to leam another languagc (in this case, molecularbiolugy) during a long period of socialization and, as always, to face the problem of who has the authority and thc rcsponsibility to represent expericncc and knowledge (Rabinow 1996: 17). The fact that the book is not found on anthropology shelves in US bookstorcs, hut on science shelves, reinforccs by exclusion an enduring ideo\ogical a.~sociation of anthropology with cxoticism.2
2S<:c Pc1rano (1997) for acomparisnn offour rec<:nt books, !WO ofwhich were pul:lli~h~t.l in lhe Uniled StBtes (Cioortz 1995. Rabinow 1996), w.•o ofwhich were pul:llish~d in lndiu (Madan 1994, Das 1995).
ANTHROPOLOGY ATHOME 115
FROM (AN)OTHER POINT OF VIEW
Observing the Greek case from anthropologists' own accounts, Kuper (1994) criticizes \Vhat he calls "na.tivist elhnography"-an extreme caseofanthropology at h orne. Oftentimes taking a lead from Said and postmodem reflexive di~course, nativist ethnography assumes that only natives understand natives and that the nativemustbe theproperjudge ofethnography, even its censor. Sensibly, the author shares a skeptical view ofthis trend. He spares some native and foreign individual ethnographers, while sanctioning different traditions of ethnographic study, and proposes a "cosmopo\itan" allemativc for anthropology. For Kuper, cosmopolitan ethnographers should v.Tite only to other anthropologists (and not for curious foreigners and armchair voyeurs; nor should they write for natives or even the native community of experts, i. e. social scientists, planners, intellectuals). For him, sue h a cosmopolitan anthropoiOb'Y is a social scicncc closdy allied to sociology and social hi!'.tory that cannot be bound in the service of any politicai program.
Kupcr's notion of a cosmopolitan anthropology may be contrasted to the multiccntercd projL:ct of Tndian anthropologists (lJberoi 1968, 1983; Madan 1994; Das 1995). Well before the current concerns with anthropology at h orne, India offered lhe acadt:mic world long discussions on thc study of'"onc's own society" (Srinivas 1955, 19fi6, 1979; Ubcroi 1968; Béteille & Madan 1975; Madan 19R2a,b; Das 1995). which directly lead to lhe question of audiences for anthropological writing. India was also the scene ofthe unique rebirth of Contributions to lndian Sociology, afterits founders, Louis Dumont and David Pocock, decided to cease publication ofthe joumal in Europe after I O years of existence (see Madan 1994). The debates carried on in the section '·Fora Sociology oflndia," the title ofthe first artic\e published by the editors (Dumont & Pocock 1957) and later a regular feature of the journal, revealed it as a forum fortheoretical, academic, and politicai (even pedagogical) discussion, involving scholars from a variety ofbackgrounds and orientations. If science's life, wannth, and movement may best be perceived in debate (Latour 1989), then this 30-year-old forum has a most thoughtful history to tell.
fndian anthropologisls are aware of their multiple readerships. Madan ( \982b:266) mentions two types oftriangular connections: (a) the relationship betwecn insider and outsider anthropologists and the people being studied and (b) thc rclationship bctwccn lhe anthropologist, the sponsor of research, and thc people. Das (1995) also points to threc kimls of dialogues within sociologi. cal writingon lndia: thedialogue with (a) the Westem traditions ofscholarship in the discipline, (b) with the Indian sociologist and anthropologist and (c) with the "informant," whose voice is present either as information obtained in the field oras lhe written tro:.ts ofthe tradition. ln this sense, anthropology in lndia evaluates and retines, at one and the sarne time, anthropological dis-

course and the scholarship about one's own society. ln this context, it is worth rccalling that out<iider anthropologists who have worked in lndia have also engaged in dialogues with insid(:r scholarn; some ofthese exchanges deeply influenced both sides. Good examples are the uncnding debate between Dumont and Srinivas, the reactions by Dumont to the Indian philosopher AK Saran (scc Srinivas 1955, 1966; Dumont 1970, 1980; Saran 1962), and the subaltem historians' (Guha & Spivak 1988) dissension with Dumont and their reception and influence in Europe and elsewhere.
ALTERITY lN BRAZJL
A characteristic feature of anthropology in India is that social scientists aim at a mode ofsocial reflection that does not merely duplicate Western questions. Yet Tndian social scientists are fully aware that Westem questions predirect their efforts, evcn thcir contestation. ln Brazil, the ímage of an unavoidable dialogue with the centers ofintcllectual production is invariably present, but the undertone is different: Brazilian anthrupologists feel that they are part and pareei ofthe West-even if, in important aspect-., they are not. As one ofthe social sciences, anthropology in Brazil finds its usual intellectual nichc at lhe intersection of different streams: frrst, canonical andlor currcnl trcnds ofWestem scholarship; second, a sense of social responsibility loward thooe observed; and third, the lineage of social thought developed in the country at lcast from the early 1930s onward (which of course includes previous borrowings and earlier politicai commitments).
ln this complex configuration, theory is the noble route to actual or idealized intellectual dialogues, and social commitment is in fact a powerful component ofsocial scientists' identity (see, c.g., Candido 1958, Peirnno 1981, Romeny et a\1991, Schwartzman 1991, H Becker 1992, Reis 1996). Where thcory has such an ideological power, conununication is made more intricate by the fact that Portuguese is the language of intellectual discussion (oral and writtcn) and English and French are the languages of scholarly leaming. A quick glance into current anthropology in Brazil thus reveals no great surprises in lerms of individual production-provided one knows Portuguese well. Howcver, exactly because a dialogue is always taking place with absent interlocutors, altemative answers to existing concems such as ethnicity, cultural and social pluralism, racc, national identity, and so on are routine. [lt is in this context that Arantes (1991) has ironically characterizcd Brazilian intcllectual milieu as a "settling tank in the periphery."]
Somewhat of a singularity arises when academic production is depicted collectively. As opposed to the United States or Europe today, the criticai point is neither exoticism nor the guilt generally associated ..-vith it. Cone em o ver exoticism took a different path i o Brazil.

rather than "exoticism" has generally drawn the attention of anthropologists whenever and wherever they encounter "othemess," thus sanctioning the idea that French influence has been stronger than the Gennan heritage. Moreover, because of an overall inclination that is both broadly theoretical and politicai, and therefore congenial to nation-building values and responsibilities, otherncss is rccurrcntly found wilhin thc limiL'i ofthe country (bul see exceptions in G Velho 1995) and often related to an urge to track down a possible "Brazilian" singularity (DaMatta 1984; see Fry 1995 for the explicit question).
In this section I look at different conceptions of othemess in BraziL This endeavor results from an inquiry into possible equivalent notions of exoticism in thc Bmzilian contcxt (aml may cvcntuatly hclp decipher why anlhropologisls in Brazil do not partake the current sense of crisis as in other contexts). 3J tliscem four configurations, presented here for heuristic purposes, which are neither discrete nor mutually exclusive. Cutting across a continuum of concems about the location of othemess, many authors move from one to another or combine them at different moments in their careers; ali of them are socially recognized as legitimate anthropology. I cite publications that I take as represenlative, but by no means do 1 touch below the surface of lhe available literature.
Radical Otherness Thc canonical se are h for radical othemesx may bc illuxtratcd in Brazil in lenns ofideological and/or geographical remoteness: frrst, in the study ofindigcnous or so-called tribal peoples; second, in the recent wave ofresearch beyond Brazilian's fi:ontiers. ln both cases, radical othemess is not extreme.
ln the first case, as befalls the study of lndian societies, interlocutors for Brazilian specialists are located both inside and out.side the local community of social scientists. This is the area where outside debates are more visible. (Is one's difference another's exoticísm?) Actual fieldwork, however, has been restricted to the limit.s ofthe country, even when the larger ethnological areais perceivcd a~ South America. Though fWiding may be one major constraint, there are crucial politicai and ideological implications in this fact.
A distinguished body of literature on South American ethnology is available to infonn contemporaneous specialists, going back to nineteenth-century Gennan expeditions seeking answers in Brazil to European questions about the state of"naturalness" ofthe primitives (Baldus 1954) up to more recent genemlions, such as Nimuendaju's (e.g. 1946) celebrated monographs on tbe social organization ofthe Gê tribes and thc late 1930s rcscarch ofTupi groups
3 A different approach wa.s adopted in Peirano (1981), which e:wmint'::õ the pruce:.~ by which, from thc 1950s on, a common stock ofsociologkal qucstions was progressively dismembered and çouçhed ao :;oçioJugy, anll!ropology, and politiçaloçien~'t:.

(e.g. Baldus 1970, Wagley & Gaivão 1949). Soon after, Ribeiro & Ribeiro (1957) carried out research among the Urubu-Kaapor; during the late 1940s and early 1950s Fernandes (1963, 1970) published bis classic reconstruction of Tupinambá social organization and warfare based on sixteenth-century chroniclers, and Schaden (1954) studied the difterent aspects ofGuarani culture. Having been the best-studied peoples in Brazil, after Nimuendaju the Gê attra{.1ed the attention uf Lévi-Strnuss ( 1956) and, following suit. the Harvard Central-Brazil Project (Maybury-Lewis 1967, 1979). ln due time, the results of tbis large-scale research program emerged as the strongest ethnographical cases supporting structural anthropology, having served as fieldwork experi-ence for a generalion of ethnologisls (among tho~ who dcvclopcd lhcir ca- • reers in Brazil, see DaMatta 1982; Me1arti 1970, 1978).
Today, newcomers to the fie1d can thus discern some antinomies: Tupi or Gê; kinship or cosmology; Amazonian and Central Hrazil or Xingu; externa! historical sociology or internal synchronic analysis; ecology or culture; history or ethnography; politicai economy or descriptive cosmology (see Viveiros de Castro 1995b ). As in every antinomy, reality is a step removed. But in this context, Tupi research, having practically disappeared from the ethnological scene during lhe 1960s and early l970s (but see Laraia 1986), has recently reemergcd with a driving force buth within and beyond the limits ofthe Portuguese language (Viveiros de Castro 1992, T Lima 1995, Fausto 1997; see also Muller 1990, Magalhães 1994). Prompted by that body of research, interest in kinship was also rehabilitated (Viveiros de Castro 1995a,b; Villaça 1992; for a recent debate with French ethnographers, see Viveiros de Castro 1993, 1994; Copet-Rougier & Héritier-Augé 1993). Mcanwhile, rcscarch on G~ groups conlinm:d (c.g. Vida! 1977, Carneiro da Cunha 197R, Secgcr 1981, Lopes da Silva 19R6).
The sccond trend of radical othemess is more rcccnt. Wbilc ittakcs thc ubserver away from the geographical limits of the countl)', it still confirms the idea that some relative link to home is essential. ln this context the United Statc~ has bccomc a sort ofparadigmatic othcr for comparativc studies, fTom the classic study on racial prejudice by Nogueira (see 1986) to more recent analyses ofhierarchy and individualism by DaMatta (1973a, 1981, 1991). This trend has unfolded in the works of L Cardoso de Oliveira (1989), R Lima (1991), and, in this issue, Segato (1998). An emergenttopic isthe study ofBrazilian immigrants (e.g. G Ribeiro 1996}. A recent interest in Portuguese anthropology, as indicated by congresses and conferences in Brazil and Portugal, anests again to historical and linguistic links.
Contact with Otherness
Considered by many the most successful theoretical innovation produced in Brazil, the idea of interethnic friction made its appearance in anthropology as a
ANTHROPOLOGY ATHOME 119
bricolage of indigenist concems and sociological theoretical inspiration. Coined by R Cardoso de Oliveira (1963), interethnic friction was proposed as a sym.:rclic totality emerging from lhe conta<..1 oflndian popu\ations with thc national society and revealing "a situation in which two groups are dialectically unified through opposing interests" (\ 963:43). Seen from this perspective, concems about the integration of lndians into the national society~which have always been a source of distress for ethnologists and indigenists-were shifted onto theoretical grounds. Contact was seen as a dynamic process, and the notion oftotality did not rest with one agent o r the other (national o r lndian) but in the universe ofthe observed phenomenon. Interethnic fiiction was propnsed in a context in which British and US theories of contact, namely social change (M:alinowski) and acculturation (Redfield, Linton, and Herskovitz), had proved inadequate; Balandier's views and Femandes's (1972) studies on race relations in Bmzil were chosen instead as inspiration.
Contact with lndians had been a major social concern in Brazil since the foundalion ofthe Service fOr the Protection oflndians (SPI) in 1910. ln lhe 1940s and 1950s it proceeded through observations carried out by ethnologists (generally published apart fi"om theirmajor ethnographical work) and set shore in academic anthropology as a legitimate topic in the 1950s, merging academic with public-policy concerns for indigenous populations (see D Ribeiro 1957, 1962). During the 1960s a peculiar academic scene emerged in Brazi1: Sharing the sarne space, and often involving the sarne individual researchers (Laraia & DaMatta 1967, DaMatta 1982, Melatti 1967), studies were being developed that, on the one hand, focused on specific features oflndian social systems { cf Harvard Centrai-Brazil Project) and, on the other hand, focused on contact as intcrcthnic friction.
This thcmatic inspiration survivcs today in studies thatbearthc hallmark of intcrcthnic friction but have become a distinct lineage of concem (though theoretical bonds span from postmodern to historical and sociological concerns). Its topics vary from an evaluation ofYanomami ethnography in a context of crisis (Ramos 1995) to analyses of indigenism, Indian lands, and frontiers (Oliveira 1987, 1988; Ramos 1998, Souza Lima 1995) to social conditions ofSouth American lndians (Carneiro da Cunha 1992).
During the 1970s, in due course the concem with contact embraced the theme of frontiers of expa.nsion, making issues related to internal colonialism, peasants, and capitalist development a legilimate anthropological subject (O Velho 1972, 1976 ). At the sarne time, studies on peasants gained their own thematic status, as extensive studies '>l."ere carried out by both anthropologists and sociologists (amongthe fonner, see Palmeira 1977, Sigaud 1980, Moura 1978, Seyferth 1985, K Woortmann 1990, E W oortmann 1995). This thematic movement's location eventually reached the fringes of large cities (Leite Lopes 1976).

Nearby Otherness
As early as the 1970s, anthropologists in Brazil began to do research nearby. Because academic socialization takes place within social science courses, anthropological approaches have become a counterpart to sociology. ln the unfolding of politicai authoritarianism in the 1970s, anthropology was seen by many as a promising counterpart to Marxist challenges coming from sociology-a silent dialogue that has persisted ever since. For some, the qualitative aspects of anthropology were appealing; others were attracted by the microscopic approach to sociallifc; still others wcrc attractcd by the challenge of understanding certain aspects ofthe "national" ethos. The preferredroute was via theo:ry.
The Chicago school of sociology was one of G Velho's significant interlocutors (e.g. 1972, 1975, 1981) in bis choice of sensitive urban issues, ranging from middle-class and elite lifestyles to psychic cultural habits, drug consumption, and violence. H is studcnl.'-l cnlargcd this uni verse by including popular secton~, aging, gcndcr, prostitution, kinsbip and family, and politics. Onc major mutivatiun ofthc ovcrall projecl was to uncovcr urban valucs and thc critcria for defming social identity and difference. Thcses and books produced by this line ofinqui:ry are numerous and far-reaching (e.g. Duarte 1986, Gaspar 1985, Lins de Barros 1989, Vianna 1995; Salem 1985 for areview on middleclass. family).
ln the horizontality bestowed on each society by structuralism, DaMatta (1984, 1991) found a legitímate avenue for his long-standíng inquiry into the national ethos through the relationship between individualism and holism in Brazil. Of course, Gilberto Freyre's monumental work (see Segato 1998) is a predecessor in any search for Brazilian identity and DaMalla acknowledges thc link. Having participated in the two major lndian research projects in the 1960s (cfabove), since the 1980s the author has shitled to national themes.. DaMatta (1973a) may be seen as a point oftransition, pulling together a canonical structuralis.t analysis ofan Apinajé myth, a story by Edgar Allan Poe, and an examination of communitas in Brazilian carnival. By means of a dialogue with Dumont's notion ofhierarchy, DaMatta (1991) develops a comparative analysis of carnival in Brazil and the United States, discloses hierarchy in popular sayings and songs, and probes. literary works.
ln neither of the two approaches above was tbe relevance or appropriateness of developing anthropology at home ever seriously questioned. After a short exchange on the nature offieldwork in general, on the disposition ofethnographers toward "anthropological blucs," and on thc idca offamiliarity (DaMatta 1973b, 19Rl; G Velho 197R), hoth ncarby and farfrom humc, lhe issuc was put to rest. (This debate was contcmponmcous to Indian anthropologist'i' discussion on lhe study of one's own society.)

Meanwhile, other topics bave emerged since the 1950s, first related to the social integration of different populalions and !ater to minoríty rights. Sucb to pies brought together sociology and anthropology, thereby reaffirming and giving bistorical validation to authors such as Candido (1995), who had never totally distinguished the social sciences from each other. To mention justa few, on immigrants see Azevedo (1994), Cardoso (1995), Seyferth (1990); on racerelations, see Segato (1998), Borges Pereira(l967), Fry (1991); ongender sludics, Bruschini & Sorj (I 994), Gregori (1993); on rcligion, mcssianism, and Afro-Brazilian cults, R Ribeiro (1978), Maggie (1975), O Velho (1995), Sirmao (1995); and on popular festivities, Magnani (1984), Cavalcanti (1994). More directly focused on politics as a social domain in Brazil are studies in Palmeira (1995) and Palmeira & Goldman (1996).
Radical Us
As ifto confirm that social sciences in Bnu.il have a profound debt to Durkheim-who proposed that other forms of civilization are sought not for their own sake but lo explain what is near lo u~-from the !980s on anthropologists havc launchcd a wavc of sludics on the social sciences thcmselves, with thc overall purpose of understanding science as a manifestation of modernity. Although !opies of study vary from local social scientists to classic authors of social theory, interlocutors are often French: See, for example, Castro Faria (l993), Corrêa (1982, 1987), Miceli (1989), Goldman (1994), and Neiburg (1997). Melatti (1 984) stands as the richest bibliographical account of contemporary anthropology in Brazil. A comprehensive project to study different styles ofanthropology was launched in Cardoso de Oliveira & Ruben (1995), with proposals to focus on different national experiences. This project was preceded by an independent study by Peirano ( 1981 ), who !ater, having chosen social sciences developed in lndia for interlocution (Peirano 1991), attempted a comparative approach based on the theoretícal enigma put forth by Dumont (1978). For a comparison between Brazilian folklorists and sociologists vis-àvis nation-building ideology, see Villiena (1997); for a comparisou between Brazilian and Hungarian folk musicians and intellectuals in tbe ftrst half ofthe century, see Travassos (1997). An examination ofthe literature on anthropology and psychoanalysis in Brazil is found in Duarte (1997).
ln these studies, one sttiking featurc is that the vast majority deal with broad issues related to Westem intellectual traditions but, because they are published in Portuguese, have a limited audience. The question offor whom these works are produced thus steps in; these dialogues with major sources of scholarship :result in local exercises that ( either by design or owing to power relationships) are free from externa! disputes. Nonetheless they fulfill the performative function of ideologically linking Brazilian social scientists to the larger world.

Brazi/ as Site, or Otherness in Context
The fOunding ofthe social sciences ata moment ofthrusts toward nation buitding is a well-known phenomenon (E Becker 1971 for France and the United States; Saberwal 1982 for lndia), as is the paradox of a criticai social science surviving against the vested interests ofthe elites that created them. ln these contcxts, social science is not necessarily specialized; anthropology and sociology separate at times and in placcs that crcatc a (politicai and conceptual) need for differentiating approaches, theories, or perspectives.
ln Brazil in the 1930s, social science was adopted to pro vide a scientific approach to designing the new countty's future. 1t was then believed that, in due time, social science would replace the literary social essay, which had been, "more than philosophy or the human sciences, the central phenomenou of spírihmllife" (Candido 1976:156). Thus, from thc 1930~ ln thc 1950s, whilc social science was maturing a sociology "feita-no-Brasil" ( which actually h ccarne hegemonic during the next two decades), canonic anthropological studies oflndian groups were the rule. ln the 1960s, these studics bcgan to sharc lhe stage with the new wave of studies on contactas interethnic friction and, immediately afterward, in the 1970s, with peasants and urban srndies. Through· out these decades the blurring of disciplines has gone hand in hand with the quest for social commitment and ambitions for academic standards of exce\\ence, difference being found nearby or, at most, not far from home.
Some dccades ago, Anderson (1968) suggested that a flourishing British anthropolugy was thc rcsult of lhe expor! of criticai social thought lo subject peoples during thc first half of the century and that lhe sociology England failed to develop at home had given rise to a prosperous anthropolo&'Y ahroad. More recently, Fischer (1988) suggested thatNorth American anthropologists do not seem to play the sarne role enjoyed by Brazilian anthropologists as public intellectuals, not because ofthe formcrs' Jack of cngagcmcnt, but bccausc of"the \oss ofa serious bifocality, able to be trained simultaneously ai home and abroad on Amcrican culture as ittransforms (and is transformed) by global society" ( 1988: 13). \1y intcntion hcrc has bccn to furtherdiscussions on the indexical components of the notions of homc and abroad, by pointing ou I some anthropologica\ difficulties that are inherent in intcllcctual dialogues. Si&'llificantly enough, thejuxtaposition ofan intematiunal c~~:pcriL.'TICC anda Bra.lilian experience-as ifthey were distinct-indicates (and this vcryrcvicw is agood example) that, more often thannot, authors meetonly in our "'Literature Cited'' section.
CONCLUSION
There are many meanings to the expression "anthropology at home," the most obvious ofwhich refers to the kind of inquiry developed in the study ofone's

own society, where "others" are both ourselves and those relatively different from us, whom we se e as part ofthe sarne collectivity. ln this respect, after banning exoticism, anthropology at h orne was a historical shitl for some. For others it has always becn thc major trend within a long-standing tradition; others still have chosen to develop their anthropological inquiries both at home and abroad. But whencver ob~ervers and observed meet, new hybrid representations arise, which are intensified in comparison to the notiuns from which thcy proceed (Dumont 1994). The more modem civili7.ation sprcads thrnughoul thc world, the more it is itself modified by the incorporation of hybrid prnduct:-~, making it more powerful and, at lhe sarne time, modifying it through thc con-
• stant mix of distinct values. Anthropologists have taken on multiple roles, as members oftransnational
communities sharing codes, expectations, rimais, and a body of classic literature-all of which allow dialogues to ensue-and, at the sarne time, as individuais whose socialization and social identity are tied to a specific collectivity, making their political and social responsibilities context-bound. Their prevailing values may vary, be they national, ethnic, o r other. ln some cases, a civilizational identity (as in Soulh Asia) is superimposed on thís configuration; in others it is hegemonic (as in "America," for instance).
Justas in other complex social phenomena, an examination ofthe different contexts of anthropology should be approached from a comparative perspective. For this purpose, some conditions are necessary: First, we must grantthat academic knowledge, however socially produced, is relatively autonomous from its immediate contexts ofproduction and therefore is capable ofattaining desirable leveis of communication. Second, we must accept that rigorous compari sou, rathcr than uncontrolled relativism, is the best guarantee against superficial hnmogeni:zation acruss national and cultural boundaries. And third, wc must examine conlcmporary currents of anthropology at lhe convergence ofthe many socially recognized theoretical histories, includingthcirncighboring disciplines (either models or rivais) and local traditiom, whcrc thcse broader relationships are embedded.
