Direito e Antropologia: por uma Aproximação Necessária

Abstract

This article aims to describe the need for a greater rapprochement between the jurisprudence and anthropology and how this approach can bring benefits for both fields, especially to the field of law by introducing research methods from Anthropology that are different from the search mode usually used in law the, bibliographical research. Anthropology, through the use of field research, empirical research, when applied to the law search deconstruct true until then regarded as absolute, objectively demonstrated that certain legal institutes, imported from other countries, may not be exactly similar to its ‘original’, showing clear dissociation between what applies in a specific location and what applies in Brazil. Thus the aim is to demonstrate how can there be a greater rapprochement between these two fields and to demonstrate concretely that the examples used by Brazilian Law institutes, not always correspond to alleged international institutes that the doctrine country insists on label as similar, as will be demonstrated in this paper succinctly.
