Abstract:
Research practices are inserted in political and institutional conditions supporting or hindering potential developments. Aiming to help update traditional debates in anthropology on their social and ethical implications, this article addresses several recent transformations in the forms of publication and spreading of academic texts. We focus specifically on the implementation of open-access digital repositories, among which we highlight their potentials and challenges for ethnographic research by considering three problematizing axes: (a) procedurality and reflexivity in the production of knowledge; (b) the informed consent and the resource of anonymity; (c) the uses and contradictions of digital technologies in social research.
Keywords: ethnography, Internet, digital repositories, open access.
