Resumen
[EN] The objective of this article is to present a brief overview of the long history of
anthropology in Spain. Of primary importance is positioning this history both
within Spain’s wider social and political contexts, and also against the development
of scientifc research throughout the country. Methodologically, this study is based
on extensive existing literature concerning the history of the discipline, from the
start of the twentieth century to contemporary times, which informed the decision
to structure this writing in four sections, segmenting the period of history covered.
The frst section considers the primary or formative development of a regionalist
Spanish ethnography at the beginning of the twentieth century. Following this, in
the second section, we explore the Francoist era when the twentieth century was
well underway; this was a period marked by the strong infuence of foreign research
on the establishment of teaching methods and practical approaches to anthropology.
In the third section, we observe how, as Spain transitioned from a dictatorship to a
strong democratic state formed of autonomous regions, a uniquely Spanish anthro‑
pology emerged and, as we discuss in the fourth section, the country entered a time
of consolidation and institutionalisation throughout the wider feld of Spanish sci‑
entifc endeavour. In this way, we examine Spanish anthropology from the context
of intellectual development not dissimilar to that taking place on a global scale.
