O olhar distanciado: o programa etnológico de Rousseau

Rousseau’s exhortation to take a distance vision, to observe the differences between men in order to know the specificity and the property of each man — which was expressed two centuries before Lévi-Strauss — sets what it might name rousseauist anthropology. The knowledge of man is not obtained by looking to the side and taking any type immediately available as a reference. On the contrary, it is necessary of travels ruled, an education of the look and the organization of data collected by observation.
