Abstract
Anthropology supply anarchist thought with information on forms of social organization outside established power, and denies the historical need of
such power, showing the crucial role that violence plays in its constitution; but it also confirms the fragility of self-government in the face of the advances of the State. The relationship between anthropology and anarchism is dense but paradoxical. There is, on the one hand, the sympathy towards ‘traditional’ or ‘archaic’ cultures hold by a science born in a progressive environment, linked (in spite of, or because of that) to colonial processes. On the other, as anthropology turns to political engagement, its hopes always seem to be pinned on a state capable of correcting the authoritarian tenor of society,
and its claims for diversity are expressed in the name of universal goals.
