The History of Linguistic Anthropology as a Device for a New Integrated Perspective
Jacqueline Holzer
Abstract
The history of the emergence of linguistic anthropology helps us not only to reflect on
the path-dependency of our own scientific categories, but also to enlarge our own perspective
beyond these categories. The following paper tries to develop on the basis of
Latour's network theory a new integrated perspective that reflects our own historical position
in the network of constructing scientific facts, in the context of political problems,
of social claims of objects that we are using in order to constitute our scientific field.
