Tradurre la “riflessività operativa”: l’insegnamento dell’antropologia medica applicata al diritto

The contribution shows how anthropological knowledge and methodology can be employed in the legal context. Although anthropology is no stranger to the legal world, light will be shed on the dynamics of its use and the ethical and positional dilemmas involved. Through an ethnographic excerpt of broader action research conducted to understand the weight of stereotypes and imaginaries in recognizing international protection, the author will reflect on the difficulties encountered in translating anthropological knowledge and methodology into the legal sphere. In particular, the author will discuss the implications of using cultural tests to interpret and validate migration stories and motivations.
