On the body, time, space and meaning
To freely read beyond authors’intentions, their “poïetic strategies” or the immanent content of texts ; to select certain “traces” and associate meanings to them ; reflexive progression on the social stakes of careers and the researchers’sensitivity. Questioning over the research recurrent themes : the « long run », the territorialisation or situation and the problem of meaning. Two ways : the ethnographer’s method and the « object under observation ». To throw light on the « added value » of ethnographic observation : observation of bodies in full activity (activity as the operator of social production), of subjectivities , traces of former or sideways processes, re-actualised or not, within the forms of commitment of the actors in situation ; “localisation “ of phenomena, traces that are significant to reconstruct representations, give meaning to the agents’gestures, behaviour and activities ; enrichment of our experience. Is there/ is that, then, a sociological analysis ?
