A investigação revela como cientistas sociais norte-americanos da Smithsonian Institution e antropólogos brasileiros e mexicanos, arregimentados por agências governamentais ou de caráter cooperativo, acabaram se associando a sanitaristas, administradores e educadores em torno de uma agenda comum de ações médico-sanitárias e projetos de desenvolvimento dirigidos às comunidades mais remotas e atrasadas de países como Brasil e México. A rede de especialistas apostou na contribuição que o relativismo cultural podia oferecer considerando a necessidade de tornar inteligível a realidade sócio-cultural das populações alvo das intervenções modernizadoras. Eles também assumiram que vencer as resistências locais à mudança representava um pré-requisito para a eficácia das políticas de saúde e educação sanitária a serem implementadas. No caso do Brasil, o Serviço Nacional de Proteção ao Índio, o Serviço Especial de Saúde Pública e o Instituto Nacional de Estudos Pedagógicos foram órgãos pioneiros na incorporação das ciências sociais, vinculando-as a uma agenda de reforma social. O propósito de empregar o conhecimento etnográfico da vida social como um recurso válido para o desenvolvimento e aperfeiçoamento de políticas públicas também esteve presente nos programas de estudos de comunidade conduzidos por aqui nos anos cinqüenta, como o Projeto do São Francisco e o Projeto Bahia-Columbia. Algumas destas experiências já foram objeto de análise, outras têm aqui sua história recuperada, mas a proposta principal é tomá-las em conjunto, dentro de uma perspectiva comparativa, que visa tanto compor um quadro abrangente dos interesses e compromissos da antropologia do pós-guerra e de sua inserção em domínios não acadêmicos, quanto estimar a contribuição que se esperava extrair da disciplina, e da abordagem relativista preconizada por ela, para os programas de intervenção, com destaque para o campo da saúde pública. / Abstract: This study aims to clarify the post-war chapter of the history of Anthropology that refers to the anthropologists' involvement in technical assistance programs in Latin America, and the application of anthropological knowledge to the public health field. The research reveals how North American social scientists from the Smithsonian Institution, Brazilian and Mexican anthropologists from governmental or cooperative agencies joined sanitarians, administrators and educators who had a common agenda on medical sanitary action as well as development projects addressed to the most remote and underdeveloped communities of countries like Brazil and Mexico. The specialists believed in the contribution that cultural relativism could offer in considering the need for understanding the sociocultural reality of the populations that were being influenced by modernizing interventions. They also considered that overcoming the locals' resistance to change represented a prerequisite for the implementation and efficiency of health policies and sanitary education. In Brazil, the National Service for Protection of Indigenous People (Serviço Nacional de Proteção ao Índio), the Special Service for Public Health (Serviço Especial de Saúde Pública) and the National Institute for Pedagogical Studies (Instituto Nacional de Estudos Pedagógicos) were pioneering organizations for the incorporation of the social sciences in an agenda for social change.The employment of ethnographic knowledge concerning social life as a valid resource for the development and improvement of public policies was also present in the community studies programs in the 50's, like the São Francisco Project and the Bahia-Columbia Project. Some of these experiences have already been the object of analysis, and others have their history recaptured now. The main purpose here is to see them as a whole in a comparative perspective aiming to compose a wide panorama of interests and compromises of post-war anthropology and its inclusion in non-academic domains, as well as estimate the contribution from the subject, and from its relativistic approach, to the intervention programs, especially the ones related to public health. / Doutorado / Doutor em Antropologia Social

Anthropology as Administrative Tool: the Use of Applied Anthropology by the War Relocation Authority

Minor, David 05 1900 (has links)
Beginning in the 1930's a debate emerged within the American Anthropological Association over applied versus pure research. With a few exceptions the members refused to endorse or support the attempt to introduce applied anthropology as a discipline recognized by the Association. This refusal resulted in the creation of a separate organization, the Society for Applied Anthropology, in 1941. In order to prove the validity of their discipline the members of the Society needed an opportunity. That opportunity appeared with the signing of Executive Order 9066, which authorized the forced removal of Japanese-Americans from the west coast. Members of the Society believed the employment of applied anthropologists by the War Relocation Authority would demonstrate the value of their discipline. When provided with this opportunity, however, applied anthropology failed.
