Résumé anglais Monique Selim, The Status of the Other An ethnological investigation poses specific methodological problems linked to the direct social communication between the researcher and the subjects of the research. The interpersonal relations which are produced during the course of the research constitute the conditions upon which the gathering of information depends, and the interpretation of these relations is decisive in the elaboration of the analysis. The subjects of the research confer a particular status upon the ethnologist in relation to the microstructures within which he or she functions and to the social perspectives forged by the actors on the basis of their own identity and their place in the society. In this context, the "status of the other" attributed to the ethnologist seems to be an essential mental tool. This article identifies variations of this "status of the other" in three very different urban contexts, two of them in French, popular milieux, and the third on the Indian subcontinent.
