CONT

Il faudrait que les ethnologues admettent une fois pour toutes que leur démarche ne peut être en aucun cas objective, la subjectivité du chercheur étant primordiale. Pourtant, c'est uniquement à travers l'honnêteté intellectuelle, qui consiste à donner les clés des conditions dans lesquelles se fait la recherche, qu'il est possible d'avancer. Il est donc essentiel que chacun fasse état de ses présupposés culturels, théoriques voire religieux afin qu'on sache qui parle et d'où il parle.

OBS

Terme généralement utilisé au pluriel dans ce contexte.

Key term(s)
  • présupposé culturel
