Abstract
Cette reflexion sur la methodologie de la representation ethnographique ne remet pas en cause les methodes qualitatives et quantitatives utilisees pour connaitre la verite sociale, mais pose plutot le probleme de la representation en termes de recherches sur le terrain et aux moyens de comparer ce mode d'enquete avec la representation en statistiques sociales. L'A. s'interesse egalement aux implications politiques de cette nuance et au role joue par les representations statistiques dans la creation du monde du pouvoir moderne dans lequel habitent les anthropologues
