Transmettre l’anthropologie à travers l’enquête collective et partenariale

Abstract

This paper is focused on the conception and the setting of the learning/teaching programme Anthropologie, Science & Société (University Lumière-Lyon2, DRAC (Regional Cultural Affairs Directorate of) Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. With fieldwork examples and concrete achievements, it describes and analyses the modalities and effects of this peculiar pedagogical experiment, based on the transmission and lived experience of a posture rather than the formal teaching of thematized knowledges. The paper emphasizes several principles developed through the programme : partnership research, collaborative projects, plurality of writing and feedback processes, etc. It shows how, by producing genuine relational modalities between students, teachers and partners, and assuming the inductive and experimental dimensions of the learning/teaching situations, this programme questions the stakes of professionalizing anthropology but also renews the teaching and learning of anthropology.
