Abstract
ORTIZ ELIZONDO, Héctor. Disciplinary Boundaries: Dialogs between Anthropology and Criminology. Desacatos [online]. 2018, n.57, pp.20-35. ISSN 2448-5144.
In this article, I explore the role of the anthropologist in the penal law, namely his part as an expert witness in cases were indigenous people are involved. The goals of these considerations are to question our disciplinary self-perception and to open the road towards a more active role of the anthropologist in the field of criminology. I will consider some penal examples in order to illustrate the conceptual discrepancies while participating in concrete cases.
Keywords : legal anthropology; indigenous rights; criminology; cultural defense; history of anthropology.
