Abstract


In this paper the authors explore the 'political' usages of the folk-medicine concept. From a critical medical anthropology approach they analyze the emergent notion in Pitré's work, its later appropiation by the ethnomedicine, the medical anthropology critique and, finally, its new usage in the Italian and Mexican anthropology. As a final remark, they talk about the role of anthropology in the present-day health-care contexts and the different possibilities that this situation brings about in relation with the notion of folkmedicine.
