| Sumario: |
This work is a review article aiming to rebuild significant episodes for the anthropology discipline in its observation experience –through the ethnographical method– of what we call ‘power’. I argue that said experience led to an epistemological central finding for the whole group of social sciences which I coined as de-ontology of the State. I explore three examples of diversification of the ethnographic observation objects which paved the road for said de-ontology. I deny any pretension of performing a critical and comprehensive examination of the ethnographies on the State, and finally, I call to reflection on three of the conceptual-theoretical problems which have appeared from the results of the research on said ethnographies: the analysis of the myths and rituals of the State; the problem of the foundation of sovereignty; and the question around the meaning of its margins. |
