Asociación de Antropólogos Iberoamericanos en Red
organization of anthropologists
The AIBR (Network of Iberoamerican Anthropologists, from the Spanish Antropólogos Iberoamericanos en Red) is an association for anthropologists started in 1996 with the creation of the portal El Rincón del Antropólogo (The Anthropologist's Corner), which was one of the first portals related to anthropology in the Spanish-speaking world. The association has grown into a network that connects more than 7,000 anthropologists from Spain, Portugal, and the Latin-American countries.
Creation of AIBR and AIBR. Revista de Antropología Iberoamericana
In November 2002, the association was legally constituted and recognized by the Minister of the Interior of Spain.
Since 2001, AIBR has published the scientific journal AIBR. Revista de Antropología Iberoamericana ('Journal of Iberoamerican Anthropology') every four months, both electronically and on paper.
AIBR Annual International Conference of Anthropology
In July 2015, the association held its first international conference under the global theme "The human being: cultures, origins, and destiny", with over 800 delegates gathering in Madrid, Spain. The meeting was presented by anthropologist Didier Fassin of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and closed with a lecture by Aurora González Echevarria of the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
The Second AIBR International Conference took place in Barcelona in September 2016, under the global theme "Identity: Bridges, Thresholds, and Barriers". This edition opened with a plenary address by Arturo Escobar (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), and continued with lectures by Tim Ingold (University of Aberdeen), Verena Stolcke (Autonomous University of Barcelona), and Manuel Delgado (University of Barcelona).
The Third AIBR International Conference took place in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, in November 2017 and was the first edition of the AIBR Conference to take place in the Americas. The theme was "Travels, crossings, displacements", and the conference began with an inaugural lecture by Marc Augé of the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS).
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Asociación de Antropólogos Iberoamericanos en Red” as organization of anthropologists. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as organization of anthropologists. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4651818. VIAF identifies the subject as 147002903. The Library of Congress control number is no2010147259. None of the 4 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1996, 2002, 2001 and 2015.
Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
