Gunter Gebauer and Christoph Wulf have founded historical anthropology, together with their German colleagues. Their transdisciplinary perspective bears the ambition to study the historical and cultural multiplicity of human experience. We present here the theoretical foundations of this historical anthropology through the concepts of mimesis and ritual. For these German scholars, mimetic action stands at the root of the diverse social and cultural life-forms. With the hypothesis that they put forward, rituals are corporeal and symbolic acts acquired through mimetism.

This article aims to clarify the meaning and the scope of « the epistemology of relevance », which constitutes the fundamental issue of Fernand Dumont's work published by Presses universitaires de France in 1981 : L'Anthropologie en l'absence de l'homme. Without renouncing the requirements of an epistemology based on the analysis of the operatives procedures to the construction of the object, Dumont highlights the limits of such an « epistemology of truth » as regards the bringing to light of the foundations and purposes of modern human sciences, or what he calls « Anthropology ». According to him, it is essential in this field of knowledge to open up epistemological reflection to questions relating to ethical legitimacy, to the « relevance » of science in human society.
