Revista Chilena de Antropología is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal focusing on anthropological research in Chile and Latin America, linking ethnography, archaeology, and social theory. It publishes articles that intersect regional studies, indigenous issues, and disciplinary debates, engaging scholars associated with universities, museums, and research institutes. The journal serves as a platform connecting authors and readers across academic networks in Santiago, Valparaíso, and other cities.
The journal emerged in the late 20th century amid scholarly initiatives associated with Universidad de Chile, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Universidad de Concepción, Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino, and research centers like Instituto de Investigaciones Antropológicas and Centro de Estudios Públicos. Early contributors included intellectuals linked to the legacies of José Toribio Medina, Diego Barros Arana, and debates influenced by comparative work from Claude Lévi-Strauss, Alfred Radcliffe-Brown, Bronisław Malinowski, Franz Boas, and regional scholars such as Alfred Métraux. The journal reflects institutional shifts following higher education reforms involving Consejo de Rectores de las Universidades Chilenas and policy dialogues involving the Comisión Nacional de Investigación Científica y Tecnológica.
Articles cover fieldwork in contexts related to Mapuche, Aymara, Rapa Nui, Diaguita, Atacameño (Likan Antai), and other indigenous communities, as well as urban studies in Santiago de Chile, Valparaíso, Antofagasta, and Punta Arenas. Contributions address archaeology connected to sites like Monte Verde, El Morro de Arica, and collections from institutions such as the Museo Nacional de Historia Natural (Chile), interpreting material culture alongside theoretical frameworks from scholars such as Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Foucault, Antonio Gramsci, Clifford Geertz, and Marshall Sahlins. The journal also situates Chilean studies within hemispheric dialogues involving Latin American Studies Association, Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales, and comparative work referencing José Carlos Mariátegui, Eduardo Galeano, and Aníbal Quijano.
Editorship has involved academics affiliated with departments at Universidad de Chile, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Universidad Austral de Chile, and museums such as the Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino and Museo Nacional de Historia Natural (Chile). The publisher, Editorial Universitaria de Chile, coordinates peer review drawing on external referees from networks including Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Universidad de Buenos Aires, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, and University of California, Berkeley. Production formats have included print runs distributed to libraries like the Biblioteca Nacional de Chile and digital copies accessible through institutional repositories tied to CONICYT initiatives and collaborative platforms used by Redalyc and SciELO-associated projects.
The journal is indexed in regional and international services comparable to databases connecting Latin American scholarship, with visibility in aggregators used by scholars at Harvard University, Stanford University, Columbia University, University of Chicago, and specialized indexing projects driven by institutions such as Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas and scholarly platforms connected to WorldCat-listed collections. Its metadata participates in catalogues maintained by university libraries including Universidad de Sevilla, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, and national archives in Argentina, Perú, and Brasil.
Noteworthy articles have examined land tenure disputes involving La Araucanía and Temuco contexts, kinship and ritual among Mapuche communities, ethnohistorical reassessments of colonial records referencing figures like Alonso de Ercilla, and archaeological syntheses addressing early human occupation near Monte Verde and sites tied to the Paleo-Indian chronology. Contributions have engaged theoretical dialogues invoking Claude Lévi-Strauss and regional thinkers such as Vladimir Orellana and Fernando Henríquez. Special issues have convened panels around topics parallel to conferences held by the Latin American Anthropological Association and symposia involving curators from the Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino.
The journal is cited in scholarship produced by researchers at Universidad de Chile, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Universidad de São Paulo, and international centers like The Smithsonian Institution, British Museum, and Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology. Its articles inform policy debates in regional offices connected to Comunidad Autónoma de la Araucanía and cultural heritage programs coordinated with the Dirección de Bibliotecas, Archivos y Museos (DIBAM). Reviews and citations appear in bibliographies compiled by authors such as Roberto Bolaño-adjacent critics and historians working on colonial and modern Chilean studies.
