Objet and method: epistemological criteria or strategies for the academic survival?

Authors

  • Francisco Sánchez Pérez

Abstract

This article puts into question the demarcation criteria that traditionally have sustained the arguments in favour of the disciplinal autonomy between Sociology and Anthropology. In comparing different objects of study and the specific methods used in each of these subjects, the author concludes that the autonomy of both disciplines can only be justified on historical and sociological grounds.
