French term or phrase: pépins
Des mystères du terrain au bricolage sociologique
Philippe Vienne (Université libre de Bruxelles),
L’article interroge le statut épistémologique actuel de l’ethnographie : théorie autonome ou simple stade épistémologique précédant le travail ethnologique ? Au carrefour des traditions anthropologique (Marc Augé) et de l’École de Chicago (Everett Hughes), la réflexivité critique sur ce que fait l’observateur dans le monde social étudié amène à examiner les mystères et dangers du terrain scolaire, et les terrifiants pépins de l’ethnographie. Que l’ethnographe soit « pris » et parfois piégé dans le réseau social qu’il étudie implique une investigation des implications psychologiques sur l’observateur, et pourquoi pas, dans la continuation des réflexions sur le fait social total, d’un passage nécessaire du stade ethnographique au stade épistémologique qui lui succède, celui de la théorisation en sciences sociales comme rupture avec l’ethnographie, par exemple chez Erving Goffman.
