Sumario:In this article, we present some preliminary findings from the ongoing research project History and Development of Academic Production in the Field of the Anthropology of Public Policies, framed within the Academic Program on Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Study of Public Policies: An Anthropological Contribution (National University of Rosario). Its field of work consists of various academic documents that make up a Material Historical Heritage within the field of the Anthropology of Public Policies. Based on this research project, we reflect on the contributions and challenges involved in adopting an anthropological approach to the study of public policies. The article presents the process of searching, classifying, and systematizing academic papers presented at the Rosario Conferences on Sociocultural Anthropology (2007–2022), highlighting the main thematic lines and predominant approaches. It also analyzes theoretical perspectives on public policies and the State made explicit in some papers, distinguishing them from the conceptions of the research team. Finally, it reflects on how academic documents can be constituted as a field of ethnographic inquiry and as material historical heritage for the discipline.
