Abstract

By combining methods from cultural anthropology to the methods of theatre, this article considers the process of artistic creation as ethnographic field work. The proposed approach aims to reverse the usual position of the researcher who regards his/her position of observer as external to the object of study. By placing his/her own field literally in the work, the researcher creates, along with the respondents, a situation which enables the emergence of a form of anthropological knowledge that questions its nature and place among the sciences.
