The book proposes some reflection on the process of ethnographic knowledge as a particular type of experiment. In the process of socio-cultural interpretation, an ethnographer’s work mainly consists in sharing fragments of experience with his interlocutors’ community. The best way to gain knowledge lies in his capacity to saturate himself with the analogies, metaphors, moods and emotions within the other’s culture and embodying the sense more by empathy than by plain reasoning.

Abstract
The book proposes some reflection on the process of ethnographic knowledge as a particular type of experiment. In the process of socio-cultural interpretation, an ethnographer’s work mainly consists in sharing fragments of experience with his interlocutors’ community. The best way to gain knowledge lies in his capacity to saturate himself with the analogies, metaphors, moods and emotions within the other’s culture and embodying the sense more by empathy than by plain reasoning.
