This paper sets out to envision fieldwork as a device designed by researchers during the construction of their research object. A parallel should be established between this heuristic installation and the creative process of a theatrical production or of an artistic performance. By acknowledging anthropologists impossibility to adopt the position of a detached inquiry, the author invites the researchers to take on the role of co-creators of a social situation and draw the appropriate consequences in terms of their methodology. This contribution pursues in building a theoretical space between art and social anthropology.
