Den tidiga antropologins vetenskapliga gränsbyggande
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
The purpose of this article is to explicate the cultural
boundaries present in the early history of anthropology
through the study of its rhetorical forms. The theoretical
framework utilized is the cartographically
approach, which means studying scientific facts as
boundaries on a cultural map. The study takes its
departure from the late 19th century with a primary
focus on Sir Edward Burnett Tylor´s (1832–1917) writings.
After a close and critical reading of Tylor’s texts,
certain conclusions are reached about his direct influence
on the anthropological space on the cultural map.
The findings suggest a more critical cartographical
approach to the study of the rhetorical forms present
in contemporary multi-disciplinary creation of cultural
boundaries
