The purpose of this work is to show that the context of writing anthropological narrations has a determinant influence on its classification as scientific text. In the analysis of selected works of Bronislaw Malinowski, Lévi-Strauss, Marc Augé and Nigel Barley, we fund that the status and prestige of each one of these authors influenced the academic destiny of their respective narratives. Also, the results of the exploration of some of the epistemologic footpaths of the anthropological knowledge will appear, emphasizing the determining weight of social constructo of the conditions of publication.
