This article examines the historical construction of legitimacy within French ethnology. Karady argues that the discipline's claim to scientific objectivity was intertwined with its institutional development and its relationship to political power. He traces the evolution of ethnology in France from its origins in the late 19th century, highlighting the role of key figures and institutions in shaping its identity and methods. The article explores how French ethnology sought to distinguish itself from other disciplines, such as sociology and history, and how it negotiated its position within the broader intellectual and political landscape. Karady's analysis reveals the complex interplay between scientific aspirations, institutional strategies, and political contexts in the formation of a disciplinary field
