Abstract

The modes, epistemologies, objects, and differential problems of psychoanalysis and anthropology tend to distance the two fields. However, ethically and in some parameters of fundamental problems of enunciation of the
two disciplines, they can also be closer. This article investigates these dissociations and articulations. Finally, it proposes a more consistent and proper use of psychoanalysis by anthropologists, at the level of investigation and sharing of one’s own dreams with others, human sources of research.
