El artículo reconstruye la trayectoria antropológica de Alfred Métraux (1902-1963) bajo la forma de un itinerario intelectual que se inicia con su crianza argentina y prosigue con su formación temprana en Francia y Suecia bajo la tutela de sus maestros Marcel Mauss y Erland Nordenskiöld, y luego con sus sucesivos desempeños institucionales en la Argentina, los Estados Unidos y Francia. A la luz de los estudios contemporáneos que revalorizan la figura disciplinar de Métraux, el texto recapitula aspectos específicos de su biografía, su personalidad y su obra, y analiza su prueba iniciática en el terreno, la fase posterior del análisis sintético y la etapa madura de compromiso en la ONU y la UNESCO. Finalmente, se presenta un breve manuscrito inédito de Métraux, realizado en 1928 para el diario argentino La Razón.
