| Sumario: | Barabas and Bartolomé propose that as displacements and relocations of human groups have stopped being considered as cross-roads phenomena, they have become the subject of anthropological research, discussion and practice. To sustain this hypothesis they offer the revision of some examples of reservoirs and relocations in Latin America and, from an anthropological point of view, they analyse the involuntary displacement and relocation of towns, particularly in certain objective and subjective aspects of the social actors involved and the social movements that come as a result of the relocations. Finally, they underline the difficulty of the insertion of anthropologists to the task forces in charge of the relocation, an area traditionally reserved to engineers or technicians.
