On the one hand, this discipline has developed very well in only 25 years generating scientifically relevant knowledge both locally and internationally. On the other hand, and unlike a large part of scientific knowledge generated in peripheral contexts, it has major social applications. This work describes the different dimensions of the origin and development of this discipline in Argentina, the cognitive condition of the field in 1983 and, briefly, its development until today, its institutional dimension, the existence of other research traditions and certain social dimensions which, we believe, are the basis for the success of this scientific discipline. La antropología forense ha tenido en la Argentina un éxito científico fuera de lo común. Por un lado, esta disciplina se ha desarrollado muy bien en escasos veinticinco años generando conocimiento científicamente relevante tanto a nivel local como internacional. Por otro lado, y a diferencia de lo que ocurre con gran parte del conocimiento científico generado en contextos periféricos, tiene importantes aplicaciones sociales. En este trabajo describiremos las diferentes dimensiones del origen y desarrollo de esta disciplina en la Argentina, el estado cognitivo de esa ciencia en 1983 y, más brevemente, su desarrollo hasta el presente, su dimensión institucional, la existencia de otras tradiciones de investigación y algunas dimensiones sociales que, creemos, están en la base del éxito de esta disciplina científica. A antropologia forense na Argentina teve um sucesso científico incomum. Por um lado, esta disciplina se desenvolveu muito em apenas 25 anos de geração de conhecimento cientificamente relevante tanto a nível local quanto internacional. Além disso, ao contrário do que acontece com grande parte do conhecimento científico gerado em contextos periféricos, apresenta aplicações sociais importantes. Neste artigo descrevemos as diferentes dimensões da origem e desenvolvimento desta disciplina na Argentina. O estado cognitivo dessa ciência em 1983 e, brevemente, o seu desenvolvimento até o presente, a sua dimensão institucional, a existência de outras tradições de pesquisa e algumas dimensões sociais que acreditamos que estão na base do sucesso desta disciplina científica. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/2300 10.34096/cas.i42.2300 spa Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CAS/article/view/2300/1977 Cuadernos de antropología social; Núm. 42 (2015); 35-54 1850-275X 0327-3776 Antropologia forense EAAF Produção de conhecimento Sociologia da tradução Ciência e periferia Antropología forense Equipo Argentino de Antropología Forense (EAAF) Producción de conocimiento Sociología de la traducción Ciencia y periferia Forensic Anthropology EAAF Knowledge production Sociology of translation Science and periphery When the Periphery Becomes the Center.
