Abstract

This article aims to suggest ideas for a more dynamic anthropological practice in Spain, through the examination of and comparison with anthropological practice in UK. Using an ethnographic evaluation of a public health programme in UK as a departing point, the author explores the positive aspects which could be extracted and extrapolated form the anthropological practice in that country. This article reviews the ways in which British anthropology connects with other disciplines, agencies and institutions in order to offer reflexive commentaries which have an impact both on public health interventions and on anthropological theory. These theoretical and practical dimensions are possible thanks to British anthropology’s grounding on theoretical tradition (a tradition which is constantly renewed through interdisciplinary dialogue), thanks to the use of collaborative methodologies (which demand the implication of institutions and researchers alike) and thanks to the concern with the ethical questions arising
from the anthropological enterprise
