Anthropology, history and the sociocultural institutions as a link between them. Another contribution on the discussion

Abstract

Is the Anthropology an auxiliary science of the History? Is the History an empty explanation of the facts? Can we define the Anthropology as the History of the non-history communities? Or is the History only the science of the winners? In this article we review the permanent controversial relation between History and Anthropology as sciences with a common way. We show the main theoretic concepts to argue the different points of view, in one or another direction and, at the same time, we realize a brief historic approach about the different stages of this dialogue. We show as well, the different common fields they have got and finally, we propose a new link to work together under the sociocultural institutions approach. They can be very useful as a tool to establish a new bridge to connect both sciences. We try to expose a theoretic revision to enrich the present analysis that we complete with some current related researches.
