Abstract
The ethnographic method is considered the research method par excellence of social anthropology. It is defined as a qualitative method centered on participant observation and reflexivity. In this paper we propose to think these methodological naturalizations as academic anthropology socio-historical constructions in order to rethink ethnography as a multi technical method that is open to interdisciplinary dialogue, that is reflexive and capable of analyzing the research process as a whole.
