Abstract

 

Anthropologists are interested in the social, collective, and political dimensions of abandonment. These include, among others, conceptions and representations of abandonment, the ways in which the family, the community and the state abandon beings, objects, and places, as well as the processes of social differentiation and the power relations that make possible abandonment, normalize it, and sometimes makes it necessary, even a driving force, to contemporary economic and governance systems.
