Ciencia Ergo Sum ISSN: 1405-0269 [email protected] Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México México Korsbaek, Leif Gregory Bateson, un antropólogo transatlántico e interdisciplinario Ciencia Ergo Sum, vol. 19, núm. 2, 2012, pp. 181-190 Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México Toluca, México Available in: http://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=10422928010 Abstract The text offers a general image of the very important British social anthropologist Gregory Bateson, in the context of the historical development of British social and cultural anthropology. Gregory Bateson is an important figure in the world history of anthropology, but is very little known in Latin America (or in the Spanish speaking world in general). This work pays special attention to his contributions to the development of field work methodology and to some anthropological sub disciplines, such as psychiatric anthropology, and it draws attention to the interdisciplinary character of his anthropology. It is also mentioned that, as opposed to the dominant trend in British social anthropology, he insisted on making use of the concept of "culture", relating it to British social anthropology's principal theoretical concept: "social structure". Keywords British social anthropology, history of social anthropology, ecology, psychiatric anthropology, culture, social structure.
