Thank you for your most-beautiful words and for this wonderful occasion. It is an unequalled honour, for which I am deeply grateful – especially to my fellow sociologists. Even though I call myself not a sociologist but a “social-cultural anthropologist,” my relationship with Sociology is a long and cordial one. It began at university when I took the course “Introduction to Anthropology,” only to learn that much of the material had been written by sociologists. For the rest of my career I have maintained a certain confusion about the division of labour between these two fields of investigation of human life. Today you confirm their resemblance, acknowledging the kinship relation between them. In a word, you have adopted me, and it’s good: I feel at home.
