Comunidad política en los pueblos de indios del Macizo colombiano, en el Nuevo Reino de Granada

Abstract

The theoretical development achieved in different areas from the social sciences has been mainly supported by what the author calls "confusion of genre", that is the way in which the understading of the research object requires the involvement and knowledge of several social disciplines both in theory and in method. In some way, this article attempted to assess the topic from the social and anthropological perspective. Although the research object pointed out the necessity to go from the ethnographic present to the historical past, the article presents the analytical framework used as part of the methodological effort.
