Abstract

This article discusses the question of application in the processes of anthropological knowledge production. Applied anthropology, for long seemingly limited to state and market perspectives, has the potential to become a change-oriented disciplinary practice seeking solutions to systemic problems. While generally focusing on the current academic conditions of this possible transformation, in the first part I overview the early experiences with applied anthropology and critical debates on these experiences. In the rest of the article I discuss the theoretical and methodological exchanges between cultural critique, activist and action anthropology, and also examine the possibilities and limitations of participatory action research, paying particular attention to major methodological and ethical issues.

Özet

Bu makale, antropolojik bilgi üretim süreçlerinde uygulama meselesini ele alıyor. Uzunca birsüre devlet ve piyasa perspektifleriyle sınırlı olduğu izlenimi veren uygulamalı antropoloji,sistemik sorunlara çözüm arayan değişim odaklı bir disiplin pratiğine dönüşme potansiyelinesahiptir. Makale, genel olarak bu dönüşümün güncel akademik koşullarına odaklanırken, ilkkısımda, erken dönem uygulamalı antropoloji deneyimleri ve bu deneyimler üzerine yürütüleneleştirel tartışmalara göz atmaktadır. Diğer kısımlarda, kültürel eleştiri, aktivist antropoloji veeylem araştırmaları arasındaki kuramsal ve metodolojik alışveriş ele alınıyor. Tartışmada, ayrıca,topluluk tabanlı, katılımcı yaklaşımlara öncelik veren uygulamalı araştırmacılığın olanakları vesınırlılıkları, bazı önemli metodolojik ve etik soru(n)lar üzerinden, değerlendiriliyor.
