Abstract

The aim of this article is to show the necessity or the inevitability of the constant and contextual reformulation of anthropological methodology. In addition, and more specifically, it is to consider the importance of setting out our research projects in direct relation to the global world and the transnational interconnections that it inexorably implies, this consideration currently being a necessary element for the achievement of successful ethnographies. In order to achieve this, I will present some difficulties and the modifications that I had to make as part of the research process for my doctoral thesis. The text will show that is fieldwork itself that continually guides us and makes us redefine not only the previously planned strategy for carrying out ethnography, but also who will be the study subjects necessary for the viability of ethnographic work. I also intend to highlight the need to normalize multisited and multifocused ethnographies in order to account for the current reality of our study subjects, who can no longer be limited to a closed group or a bounded space or territory. Reflecting on the ways to carry out this type of scattered ethnography becomes a necessary condition for describing the reality of which our study groups or topics are a part.
