PEREZ OROZCO, Carlos Enrique. Entre el oficio y la disciplina: Hacia un balance del quehacer antropológico en el Valle del Cauca. CS [online]. 2009, n.4, pp.127-146. ISSN 2011-0324.  https://doi.org/10.18046/recs.i4.438.

This article presents the results of an investigation on the tasks of anthropologists in the region of the Valle del Cauca. It describes these tasks regarding the practical works they perform, their role and social place, their academic production and their contributions to the social science discipline The author asserts that interdisciplinary practices, although positive for a holistic understanding of cultural problems, dissolve the methodological boundaries and of the tools inherent to the study of regional anthropology. The article identifies some distinctive features of these practices and the challenges presented to the formation of new anthropologists in Valle del Cauca.
