Abstract

La relación entre la antropología, los Estudios de Refugiados y los Estudios de Migración Forzada es histórica. Este campo de estudios ha registrado un creciente interés debido, por un lado, a la «crisis de refugiados» en Europa a partir del año 2015 y, por otro, al aumento de población desplazada de manera forzosa en todo el mundo. Sin embargo, hasta ahora ha habido un vacío importante en el desarrollo de un estado de la cuestión en antropología sobre este ámbito en lengua castellana. Con este artículo se pretende empezar a colmar este vacío. Para esto se presenta un recorrido histórico de los Estudios de Refugiados y de los Estudios de Migración Forzada, en el que se pone el foco en los conceptos y contribuciones más relevantes que la antropología ha aportado a estos campos de estudio. Se describe el papel determinante que han jugado las antropólogas (la mayoría) en la construcción de este campo de estudios, empezando por los trabajos pioneros e innovadores de Elizabeth Colson, Barbara Harrell-Bond (fundadora de los Estudios de Refugiados) y Liisa Malkki, entre otras, para terminar con los debates recientes entre la separación o la fusión entre los Estudios de Refugiados y los Estudios de Migración Forzada. Un elemento central lo asumen las aportaciones en materia de refugio y migraciones forzadas desde una perspectiva de género: desde evidenciar el carácter androcéntrico de la Convención de Ginebra de 1951, hasta las líneas de investigación más recientes, en las que las antropólogas españolas están aportando contribuciones importante
