In SITU Collection

In Situ Collection - DS. Effigi

The In Situ dimension, which characterizes this collection, refers to fieldwork, where the focus is on the local and on microphenomena. The focus is on the actors' point of view, on the details of the daily lives of the people studied, by placing the discourses produced during the survey in their context of enunciation. Understanding "social action" and social relationships from the inside, including those between the researcher and his or her hosts, is part of the ethnographic commitment, and provides nuance to overhanging scientific approaches that manipulate overly broad categories of analysis. 

The In Situ collection thus offers texts that participate in another "epistemological break", as they operate "from below", starting from the ordinariness of inquiry and its situations of interlocution, to discuss both academic ready-thinking and the "mots valises" of public policy. To this end, the collection aims to give pride of place to alternative and innovative writing in the social sciences, so that the voices of inquiry are not stifled and the dynamics of social worlds and their full historicity resonate.
