    L’autore presenta la nozione d’implicazione del ricercatore nei lavori dell’antropologo francese Gérard Althabe e ne illustra l’originalità mettendola a confronto con la nozione dei master role di Raymond Gold e dei membership role di Patricia e Peter Adler per pensare le interazioni sul campo. Proprio sul campo, Althabe ha riconosciuto il suo potenziale gnoseologico, prima per rendere conto dell’universo rurale africano negli anni della decolonizzazione, e poi, nel contesto urbano francese, per analizzare le interazioni nello spazio pubblico residenziale, al tempo della trasformazione strutturale del lavoro salariato e del capitale degli anni Ottanta. L’autore evidenzia la pertinenza attuale dell’implicazione e delle operazioni di conoscenza a cui abilita a proposito delle novità metodologicheThe author presents the notion of social production of the ethnographer (French “implication”) in the fieldworks of French anthropologist Gérard Althabe and explains its originality by comparing it with the notion of Raymond Gold’s master roles and Patricia and Peter Adler’s membership roles to conceptualize the fieldwork interactions.

The author proposes to overcome the conception of the relationship as methodical instrument and the ethics of obligation strictly related to it, both external to the act of anthropological understanding and insufficient to distinguish its originality, with a more comprehensive understanding of the fieldwork relationship as emergent social bond throughout the anthropologist implication (her/his social construction).
