Abstract

At present, an important part of the anthropological discipline in Peru - within the framework of university education, research and academic publications, and, above all, the flow from the heart of the social life - seems to have borne trapped in the past. Consequently, this article suggests that anthropology may not become a healthy autocoherente, comprehensive and simple text while it does not understand and accept - and is reconstituted from - the five critical that turn pathological its textuality. And, therefore, it is proposed: 1. Recognize the neighbors-next-us of urbanity as objects-subjects of study. 2. Do not confuse redemption with research. 3. Sizing the ethnography as a means and not as an end in itself. 4. Rescue the anthropological metalanguage, both classic and contemporary. 5. Conceive semiology as the basis of the anthropological project.
