Una propuesta antropológica para el estudio de los partidos políticos

This theoretical paper is an anthropological approach to the central political actors in today's society, the political parties. Throughout this paper, it has been proposed to consider these types of organization as an interwoven network of authorities that construct the history of their organization, form militants, and create a political community, linked to a whole conception of good and evil. The proposals of various authors on the state (Skocpol), authority (Cohen), community (Spencer), and spheres of autonomy (Lewellen) have been commented on, applying their proposals to the subject of political parties. The purpose is to propose a path from anthropology for the study of these organizations, and what are the contributions of this discipline to the study of these organizations.
