« Douze tiroirs de demi-vérités pour alléger votre descente »
Invited by ACSALF to present a perspective on the current issues and renewals of sociology and anthropology, I have excluded from the start any attempt to survey the field, to compare, or to make a show of erudition on everything that has been published on this theme. I have preferred to adopt a critical perspective on any form of knowledge that makes truth claims in the form of representations, on any form of knowledge posed as a “voice-over” claiming to hold the truth of the human subjects it discusses. I am appealing to “half-truths” to evoke human complexity, just in case we kept the misguided hope of reducing human societies to overly clear truths.
