    • Abstract:
      In this paper we analyse one of the itineraries that anthropological studies about the notion of person have carried out. We start from Mauss's classic work where he elaborates a genealogy of the notion of person showing its historical character and its variations in different societies. From his distinction between personage's notion and self's category, other authors after him had analysed the representations of the notion of person in societies categorised as `sociocentric' (with special accent on the personage) and `egocentric' (with special accent on the self). Here we follow the way of different authors and theories showing how the dimensions that constitute the person as personage and as self do not necessarily represent an evolution but can be manifested in the same society and even in the same notion of person.

    • Abstract:
      En este trabajo analizamos uno de los itinerarios que recorrieron los estudios antropológicos sobre la noción de persona. Partimos del trabajo clásico de Marcel Mauss en el que el autor traza La genealogIa de la noción de persona seflalando su carácter historico y mostrando las variaciones de contenido que fue adquiriendo a través de las civilizaciones. A partir de la distincion entre Ia noción de personaje y Ia categorla de ser (mc:) establecida pot Mauss, numerosos autores posteriores abordaron las representaciones de Ia persona entre sociedades categorizadas corno `sociocéntricas' (cuyo énfasis está en el personaje) y `egocéntricas' (aquellas centradas en el set). Trazamos aqul un recorrido por diferentes autores y corrientes intentando mostrar cómo las dimensiones que constituyen a la persona en tanto personaje o set no representan necesariamente una evolución line- al sino que pueden manifestarse en una misma sociedad y, pot lo tanto, en una misma noción de persona.
