Summary

This paper deals with the anthropologist at home, in other words, the anthropologist who studies his own society of origin. A series of issues and debates gather around this figure at the end of the 20th century. They include the questioning of the legitimacy for engaging in anthropology, the transformation of the discipline marked by great geopolitical changes, field work relations, and subjectivity. The analysis of the bases of this figure enables one to understand some of the contemporary debates emerging around social anthropology.
