%X Norbert Elias se alaba que calificar a las investigaciones seg¨²n su grado de compromiso o distanciamiento de los objetos de estudio, es parte de los valores en tanto juicios pr¨¢cticos que los intelectuales empleamos en el desarrollo de nuestra actividad. La profusa invocaci¨®n al compromiso en la antropolog¨ªa latinoamerican, habla de lo que quienes lo invocan desean hacer con sus antropolog¨ªas, y tambi¨¦n de c¨®mo este ideal nos ha modelado a los antrop¨®logos. En este art¨ªculo muestro las formas y razones antropol¨®gicas y espec¨ªficamente argentinas por las cuales la "antropolog¨ªa social" y el "compromiso" se constituyeron rec¨ªprocamente en el sentido com¨²n de nuestra subdisciplina en la Argentina. un doble posicionamiento-pol¨ªtico-universitario y epistemol¨®gico-de un sector de los antrop¨®logos argentinos que caracterizar¨¦ como prof¨¦tico. According to Norbert Elias, to qualify research according to its degree of commitment to, or detachment from its objects, is a practical value that intellectuals use in pursuing their job. Current references to commitment (compromiso) by Latin American anthropologists, talk about those colleagues' perspectives on anthropology, and also about the ways in which such a notion has modeled them as anthropologists. Here I examine how and why Argentine anthropologists have made of "social anthropology" and "commitment" the backbone of their discipline in Argentina, both in university politics and in academic work in the 60-70s. I also suggest that anthropological debates on prophets and prophetism may cast some light upon this process.
