IN SITU Collection

In Situ Collection – DS. Effigi

TheIn Situ dimension, which characterizes this collection, refers to field research that focuses on local and micro-phenomena. Importance is given to the actors' point of view and the details of the daily lives of the people studied, by placing the discourse produced during the research in its context of enunciation. Understanding "social action" and social relationships from the inside, including those that develop between the researcher and their hosts, is part of the ethnographic commitment and allows for a more nuanced approach than overarching scientific approaches that manipulate overly broad categories of analysis. 

TheIn Situcollection thus offers texts that contribute to another "epistemological break" since they operate "from below," starting from the ordinary nature of the investigation and its situations of dialogue, to discuss both academic ready-made ideas and the "catch-all terms" 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 research are not stifled and the dynamics of social worlds and their full historicity can resonate.
