This article briefly surveys the current state of historical anthropology and argues that the growing fortune of the concept of “historicity” in anthropology may prove insidious as it favours a contraposition between history and anthropology and the rise of new hierarchies within anthropology itself. It may also lead to the end of historical anthropology as a common borderland where archives served as crucial meeting points for historians and anthropologists.

Abstract
This article briefly surveys the current state of historical anthropology and argues that the growing fortune of the concept of “historicity” in anthropology may prove insidious as it favours a contraposition between history and anthropology and the rise of new hierarchies within anthropology itself. It may also lead to the end of historical anthropology as a common borderland where archives served as crucial meeting points for historians and anthropologists.
