Introduction

Practices, themes and problems of anthropology in the present: global perspectives and critical contexts in the contemporary world - a mosaic

“…These are likewise examined in the dossier "Reflections on Anthropological Practice Around the World," the second issue of the Global Anthropological Dialogues section, inaugurated in the previous issue of Vibrant, which aims to provide an account of the international dialogues between the anthropology of and about Brazil and other world anthropologies, recognizing not only the need to surmount linguistic and hegemonic barriers but also pointing to the contemporary reality of the output of our intense joint efforts achieved with and through relations with colleagues from all over the world. Organized by Carmen Rial and Virginia Dominguez (Dominguez & Rial, 2022), the dossier contains papers by anthropologists from different anthropological associations in the context of the Global Survey on Anthropological Practice (GSAP). The reflections published here stem from the decisions to conduct the survey on a global scale taken through the network of the World Council of Anthropological Associations (WCAA), created in 2004 under the leadership of Gustavo Lins Ribeiro in Brazil, during the 24th Brazilian Anthropology Meeting, the survey was affirmed at the biennial meeting of the WCAA held in Taipei in October 2014 (Nešković, Mathur, McGrath, Accaioli, Millar & Metzner, 2022).…”
