Ethnographic writing, Scientific discourse, Theories of language, Post-modernityAbstract
This text proposes a reflection on ethnographic writing, namely its discursive marks, its goals and its modus faciendi in the realm of a post-modern anthropology. Having for corpus articles by James Clifford and Stephen Tyler, published in Writing culture: the poetics and politics of ethnography (1986) – a collective work that stresses the centrality of writing inasmuch as it questions the ethnographic report as a testimony on behalf of truth – , we will try to pinpoint at first the scientific discourse as classically defined; secondly, we will present the contributions by the theories of language that echo in ethnographic practice; finally, we will characterize the post-modern paradigm emergency and the effects it has generated in ethnographic writing.
