| description |
Proposing to resignify specific “lived traditions” in anthropology, this article presents a genealogy of the first uses of the concept of cultural relativism, observing its resonances during the emergence of the extreme right in Brazil today (Dias, 2018). Inquiring into its initial construction in the United States in the twentieth century (Boas, 1928), we ponder the reaction of relativist anthropology to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Du Bois, 1947; Statement, 1947). Subsequently, we denounce the appropriation of cultural relativism by denialist movements (Roque and Almeida, 2021) in Brazil today, in a context that feeds authoritarian, neoliberal, individualistic, racist and eugenicist visions (Leys Stepan, 2005) within and outside the scientific field. Finally, in the face of a situation defined as “abuse of cultural relativism” (Afshari, 2001), the text opens up a reflection on the need for disciplinary updating in permanent dialogue with the field of Human Rights, redefining our task as mediating agents of historical, public, critical and situated knowledge. |

Proponiendo la resignificación de tradiciones vividas en antropología, este artículo presenta una genealogía de los primeros usos del concepto de relativismo cultural, observando sus resonancias durante la emergencia de la extrema derecha en el Brasil actual (Dias, 2018). Indagando su construcción inicial en los Estados Unidos del siglo XX (Boas, 1928), pondera la reacción de la antropología relativista frente a la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos (Du Bois, 1947; Statement, 1947). Posteriormente, denuncia la apropiación del relativismo cultural por parte de los movimientos negacionistas (Roque y Almeida, 2021) en el Brasil actual, en un contexto que alimenta visiones autoritarias, neoliberales, individualistas, racistas y eugenistas (Leys Stepan, 2005) dentro y fuera del campo científico. Finalmente, frente a una situación que se define como de “abuso del relativismo cultural” (Afshari, 2001), el texto abre la reflexión sobre la necesidad de una actualización disciplinaria en diálogo permanente con el campo de los derechos humanos, resignificando nuestra tarea formativa como agentes de mediación de un conocimiento histórico, público, crítico y situado.
