Abstract:

English Abstract: Instead of focusing directly on the epistemological problems facing the anthropologist, this paper aims to reverse the ethnographic lens and reflect first on what the ethnographic situation does for the ‘ethnographed’: what kind of work do the subjects of an inquiry engage in when they consent to an ethnographic relation? What affordances does it offer them? Briefly put, my answer to this question would be that it allows them to experiment novel ways of giving shape to and translating forms of reflexivity that are always historically and politically situated.

Abstract This article attempts to write pioneering filmmaker Paulin Vieyra and his little-studied first film, Afrique sur Seine (1955), back into the history of French, African, and late colonial/early post-colonial cinema by exploring two interwoven threads. First, a close analysis of the film's technical and aesthetic affinities with the nascent French New Wave, particularly the work of ethnographer Jean Rouch; second, a contextualized reading of the film's anti-colonialist discourse and commentary on the status of Blacks in French society at the end of the colonial period, paying special at

Abstract:

Making the sociology of the body as an independent scientific discipline based on the work of the French social anthropology. Problematization of physicality in anthropology actually begins with the category of “techniques of the body”. This concept was first introduced in the scientific turnover by the French anthropologist and ethnographer Marcel moss. Described techniques are based on extensive ethnographic material on the basis of which he formulates two basic classifications. After Moss, the category of “techniques of the body” continues to develop his student Andre Leroy-Gourhan and expl

Abstract:

In the last few years a number of studies have explored the epistemological uses of the ethnographer’s gender in sociological research and the effects of gender on research results. These studies aim either to analyze how ethnographers can use their “gender” to open up observational possibilities, or to analyze observations made while maintaining as much control as possible over the conditions of their sociological interpretation. But relatively few papers discuss using ethnography to study gendered social relations. This article applies that approach to the observations made in our field stud

This essay examines the ethnographer’s “underground” as a foundational research space lacking in light: the light provided by being fully aware of our motives and by illuminating the “lack” that leads us to look for something in others, who then become the human instruments of our research. From as early as the 1930s, the ethnographic “I” was central to how Michel Leiris viewed his engagement with research, so much so that the French writer and researcher is an often forgotten or underestimated precursor of a type of reflexivity that has placed questioning research subjects at the heart of (au

Abstract:

This case study on English, French, and German penny magazines from the 1830s aims to make visible a mostly overlooked way of producing and diffusing knowledge—not least ethnographic knowledge—in early illustrated magazines. By investigating an example of trading stereotyped wood engravings between England, France, and Germany, the present paper retraces the development of a periodical-specific international verbal-visual syntax which was triggered by the emergence of illustration. It retraces how magazine makers learned within a few months to give meaning to illustrated periodicals’ layout, t

Abstract:

The French in the United States offers valuable insight on processes of identity formation among French-born individuals living permanently in the US. The book's title foreshadows the ambiguity of how the French in America are defined in objective terms, as well as their subject positioning as members of an ethnic group. For instance, Lindenfeld cautions against relying on the criterion of ancestry used in census-based rankings to study the French presence in the United States, since census identification includes people of various national origins and does not distinguish the number of interv

Abstract:

This study addresses the growing call from scholars, such as Heidi Campbell, for a deeper reflection of methodological approaches to digital ethnography within various religious traditions and communities. In this article, I examine how I utilize a collection of “skillful means” informed by Buddhism, namely a mixed set of digital research methods encompassing reflexive choices and decisions, positioning, and creativities. This set of tools is situationally tailored for and derived from interacting with Chinese Buddhist diasporas in French Canada in the context of digital social media throughou

Abstract:

Drawing on two years of ethnographic fieldwork with members of the Tamil diaspora in the greater Paris region, I demonstrate the central role of food in expressing and transmitting Tamil ethnic identity through food consumption and culinary practices. I contextualize this within the framework of gastronationalism, which not only affirms the exceptionalism of French cuisine but also maintains the exclusionary borders of proper (gastro-)citizenship. I argue that maintaining public spaces of Tamil culinary culture in Paris constitutes a gastro-political counter-strategy to dominant French gastron

Abstract:

Based on two ethnographic studies carried out by Brazilian anthropologists, this article presents different strata of a game of representations forged in a French rural space where forms of symbolic valori‑ sation have been implemented that collaborate in the construction of French regional identities: the cheese heritage and farm tourism. Responding to the context of modernisation of agriculture which coexists with the policies of heritage in the rural landscape, the idealised representations of the French countryside are intended to obscure the reality of modern high‑yield agriculture to the

Abstract:

The article focuses on the life and work of Ziedonis Ligers (1917-2001), a Latvian emigree scholar who began a career in ethnology in his native country before World War II but spent most of his creative years as a researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). Having defended his doctoral thesis at Sorbonne in 1953, Ligers joined a research team formed by the eminent French ethnologist Marcel Griaule. The next ten years of Ligers’s life were spent conducting fieldwork in presentday Mali (then known as French Sudan) and in present-day Niger (a former French colony by
