Complexity Studies are a useful example for exploring the institutional and ideological conditioning that sets the limits to anthropological knowledge. This paper examines the relationship between Sociocultural Anthropology and other scientific fields, conditioned by tradition, professional formation, and the State’s regulation of scientific activity. It also explores a framework of Anthropology of Knowledge and highlights the importance of pondering about the limits of disciplinar y development and its concurrent causes.
