Resumo(s)
The object of this communication is the anthropologist’s role in local
development.This is not a matter of peaceful discussion: the techno-scientific
development is a universal concept whiles the notions of culture(s) that the
anthropologist studies are particular. How to reconcile the universal character of
techno - scientific development with the particular and diverse character of
cultures? The aim of this communication is to discuss this issue in order to justify
that role.
There are economists who argue that investment in Portugal has been greatly
undervalued, as if economic growth is only due to fiscal policy, to rising wages or
to demand-related aspects.
The key variable of economic growth, as others say, is "competitive investment,"
which improves the quality of what we do "in-house" and the quality of our
participation in globalization. In the midst of quantitative economic variables, there
is a human qualitative variable that emerge. It is through this variable that
anthropologists can affirm their specific difference in the "competitive investment"
implied in local development projects.
What makes their specific quality? It is their methodological formation and
practice, both scientific and artistic. Scientific, because they rely on the triple
methodology of fieldwork, participant observation and comparative method.
Artistic, because anthropologists appear to us, in their formation and in their
methodological practices with the subjects of the contexts studied, as co - authors
of creative projects of local development.
In summary: the anthropologists plays a qualitative role in local development plans
because, through its competences already mentioned, he can be seen as a mediator
between the local population and the institutions from which those plans emanate.
