Resumen
Con este ensayo apuntamos a reimaginar la antropologia no como una ciencia que estudia “lo humano” en tanto que cualidad estable, sino como un margen cambiante en el que, de manera práctica y símbolica, se articulan nuestras vidas con las de otras especies. Invitamos a lectoras y lectores a pensar en la posibilidad de exista una antropología con humanos cuyos límites antropológicos son pororosos, inestables, y maleables. Sugerimos entonces que el anthropos, está constituido por relaciones que desbordan los límites de nuestra especie, ese tradicional «objeto de estudio» de nuestra disciplina. La vida y la sociedad humana emergen de su articulación - simbiótica, violenta, o indiferente – con seres que pueden ser entendidos como «vivos» o «no vivos», pero con los cuales a menudo mantenemos siempre una relación vital (ver Dabezies y Arregui 2022). Planteamos entonces un giro hacia la vitalidad de los márgenes, entendiendo la vitalidad no como fuerza intrínseca de los organismos (al modo del vitalismo), sino como espacio de relación que conecta y transforma, de manera orquestada y a veces contenciosamente, lo vivo y lo no vivo, lo humano y lo no humano.
