La connaissance produite au moyen de L'ethnographie est longtemps entrée dans la culture populaire, et la propagation de stéréotypes et d'informations à propos de différences culturelles est un trait caractéristique de notre époque. Jusquà présent, L'intégration de L'ethno‐graphie dans les circuits de L'information de la culture postmoderne a peu retenu L'attention de la critique. Comment la recherche ethno‐graphique sur la mondialisation peut‐elle s'opposer à une réduction formelle des idées dans le monde de L'information ? Cet article repense la pratique de la théoricienne littéraire Gayatri Spivak selon laquelle la «déconstruction subalterniste« est une stratégie critique d'appréhension de L'ethnographie. Cette déconstruction ouvre la porte à une politique matérialiste de la forme en assistant à la fiction implicite dans la métaphore du texte social. Knowledge produced through ethnography has long flowed into popular culture, and the circulation of stereotypes and information about cultural differences is a characteristic feature of our time. Yet the integration of ethnography into the circuits of information of postmodern culture has received little critical attention. How can ethnographic research on globalization resist the formal reduction of ideas into information? This essay reworks literary theorist Gayatri Spivak's practice of subalternist deconstruction as a critical strategy of reading ethnography. Subalternist deconstruction enables a materialist politics of form by attending to the fiction implicit in the metaphor of the social text
