Resumo(s)
The rise of anthropology in Portugal is examined within the framework of several cycles of
development. The chapter discusses how the consolidation of anthropology at university level
was the main focus until the 90’s. Applied anthropology, as distinctive from academic anthropology
received very little attention. Consequently, there was an absence of an institutionalization
of applied anthropology in the country. Nowadays, however, two main trends converge
that supports the growth of applied anthropology and is providing work for anthropologists
outside academia. First, anthropology departments in Portugal have stabilized their staff quotas
resulting in very few positions open for anthropologists at the university level. Second,
global changes are impacting the social framework of the country and, consequently, opening
up new horizons of research and practice for social scientists. Several examples of these opportunities
are discussed which is creating an optimism about the various niches for new and relevant
anthropological practices.
