Although early feminist insights about reflexivity and fieldwork relations have become core tenets of anthropological theories, feminism itself has been marginalized in anthropology. This review examines feminist contributions to American cultural anthropology since the 1990s across four areas of scholarship: the anthropology of science and medicine, political anthropology, economic anthropology, and ethnography as writing and genre. Treating feminist anthropology as a traveling theory capable of addressing critical social problems beyond gender, this article aims not merely to recredit feminism in anthropology, but also to show its potential to transform anthropology into an antiracist, decolonial, and abolitionist project.

The article deals with the book by I. D. Batieva about the life and work of the prominent scientist-geologist and mineralogist I. V. Belkov (1917–1989), who headed the Geological Institute of the Kola Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1961–1985. The goal is to determine the information capabilities of a chronicle memoir and biographical work. It is a source on the history of geological research and scientific everyday life of the Soviet era and a resource for the anthropology of science and the anthropology of professions. Of particular value are descriptions of field life, official and informal communications in the academic environment, scientific and festive events, and the organization of family life of geologists. The authors conclude that the significance of this book goes beyond the interests of the regional academic corporation. Among other memoir sources, it serves the purposes of self-knowledge, self-identification, and presentation of the professional community. A feature of the source is its complex nature. The book includes many letters of I. V. Belkov. Thanks to this, the facts are presented and evaluated from different points of view, which creates an anthropological perspectiv

Anthropology of science education that was born in the mid-20th century. The question that arose at that time was the extent to which education could change society, the frame of mind at that time how to develop development in developing countries and indeed at that time developed countries like Europe were thinking of doing it. changes in society develop through its programs, so that educational anthropology tries to find patterns of community learning culture that can create a change.

In this paper, we discuss the potentialities and challenges of historical approaches related to the Symmetrical Anthropology proposed by Bruno Latour and collaborators. To accomplish this goal, first, we provide a brief account about how Sociology and Anthropology of Science evolved, stressing how these different movements correlate with historiographical approaches. Second, we introduce the metaphysical scheme of Symmetrical Anthropology and discuss which characteristics a historical narrative should have to be consistent with this world vision. Third, we briefly describe the articulation of the Uncertainty Principle focusing on appropriating such characteristics. Based on this concrete historical account, we discuss the potentialities and challenges of this approach to History of Physics.

Resumo: Este texto propõe examinar a capacidade das grafias em trespassar distintos domínios da produção antropológica. Em particular, interessa explicitar algumas das conexões e tensões entre os domínios da antropologia das imagens e da antropologia da ciência e da tecnologia por meio de grafias. Tal noção tem sido freqüentemente assemelhada a de inscrição – desenhos, escritas, imagens fílmicas e fotográficas, obras de arte – mas também pode indicar as coisas e seus rastros. O artigo percorre três articulações conhecidas, mas exemplares: entre texto e imagem; entre arte e tecnologia; entre conhecimento científico e saber tradicional, as quais enfatizam o potencial das grafias em nutrir o pensar e o fazer antropológico.  Palavras-Chave: grafias. Antropologia da imagem. Antropologia da ciência e da tecnologia ANTROPOLOGY OF IMAGES AND ANTROPOLOGY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY: A REFLECTION TRANSPASSED BY GRAPHISMS Abstract: This paper proposes to explore the capacity of graphy/graphism to crossing different areas of anthropological production. In particular, the paper approaches some of the connections and tensions between the domains of the anthropology of images and the anthropology of science and technology through graphisms. This notion has often been associated to that of inscription - drawings, writings, film and photographic images, works of art - but it can also indicate things and their trails. The paper runs through three well known but exemplary articulations: between text and image; between art and technology; between scientific and traditional knowledge, which emphasize the potential of graphisms in nurturing the anthropological endeavour.Keywords: graphy/graphism. Anthropology of image. Anthropology of science and technology.
