Resumen

Recent decades have seen a proliferation of works in anthropology which refer to matters of ontology. They reflect anthropological concerns with the nature of being and reality, and at the same time critically review the boundaries and categories of Western modernity. Yet to what extent have these ontological anthropologies interrogated or transformed fundamental anthropological concepts such as culture, difference, materiality, alterity, comparison or ethnography? This article offers an overview of the key theoretical and methodological contributions of ontological anthropologies (both conceptual versions, such as the so called «ontological turn», and more ontic versions), with respect to issues which include the notion of radical alterity, the return to animism, the idea of symmetrical anthropology or the methodological proposals of recursivity and controlled equivocation. At the same time, the paper outlines the main debates which have emerged in our discipline as a result of this opening up to ontological matters, such as the discussions around the nature-culture dichotomy, the frontiers of alterity, the nature of reality, and the reach of ontologically informed political programmes.
