Abstract

This article examines and comments upon the methodological innovation proposed in political anthropology by the work of J.-W. Lapierre in the late 1960s. The text seeks to show the origin ality and interest of the proposal- as well as its problems - in the midst of the various critical reviews which were then reevaluating the direction of the discipline (Balandier, Gluckman , Beatti e, M. Fried etc .). The article also und ertakes to evaluate, in historical perspective, teh territory and horizons of the debate of which his solution is a part - the difficulties of the diverse configurations assumed by comparativism in the practice of the discipline.
