Resumo
In his 1950 Marett Lecture, later published as "Social Anthropology: Past and Present," E.E. Evans-Pritchard traces the development of social anthropology as a distinct discipline, differentiating it from ethnology and folklore. He argues for a more rigorous, scientific approach to the study of human societies, emphasizing the importance of fieldwork and comparative analysis. Evans-Pritchard discusses the influence of key figures like Tylor and Frazer, while also critiquing their evolutionary frameworks. He advocates for a focus on social structures and functions, drawing inspiration from Durkheim and Radcliffe-Brown. The lecture reflects Evans-Pritchard's own significant contributions to the field and his vision for the future of social anthropology.
