The critical historical study of adelphos ("brother") in recent decades has tended to a consensus that favors the perspective in which Jesus of Galilee is recognized as "carnal brothers", according to the testimonies of the Greek texts. However, from the parental anthropology and the socialparental history, the data attested by the new testament are not univocal and are addressed in the light of the extended exogamous family structure, a crucial aspect, to point out that the texts provide data and information, but they are not the answer in itself. To which, a richer perspective opens in nuances and aspects of the kinship of Jesus and the parental ties in Galilee of the 1st century AD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this article is to problematize the relationship between language, justice and law through a philosophical and anthropological reflection. From the thinking of paradigmatic authors of the 20th century, such as Jacques Derrida, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Fernand Braudel and Pierre Bourdieu, a historical, anthropological, philosophical and ethnolinguistic analysis will be carried out, with the purpose of deconstructing the criteria on which the concepts of justice and law are based.

The objective of this text is to invite readers to explore a horizon of works that posit -with great versatility- a critique of scholarly disciplines accompanied by an initiative to reconcile anthropology and history through theoretical discussions, interpretative debates or epistemological positions. Also, it presents a broad review of a complex corpus of writings that are highly-relevant to anthropological and historical studies today. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article suggests that the first testimonies in Peru are linked to the anthropological work of the 1960s and 1970s, and to the indigenista narrative's attempt to expand the forms of representation. The proposed hypothesis is that since 1970 the testimony as a space for dialogue between the Social Sciences and the Humanities was a platform that promoted the representation of subjects not previously considered central: people of African descent and especially women. Thus, the range of actors is expanded beyond the fixation of culturalist anthropology and indigenista narrative by indigenous authors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study of antiquities was a key element for the institutionalization of the Colombian Academy of History. This article analyzes the content of the Academy's journal, Boletín de Historia y Antigüedades between 1902 and 1943, and several texts written by precursors and prominent members of the Academy. Based on these sources, the article shed light on how was articulated the institutional and epistemological validation of archeological objects. Aesthetics concerns, concludes the article, played an important role in the way the local intelligentsia interpreted the indigenous material culture before the academic institutionalization of Anthropology in Colombia.
