DESCRIPTION:The Katharine A. Pearson Chair in Civil Society and Public Poli
 cy welcomes anthropologist and ethnologist Marc Abélès\, Director of Studi
 es\, École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS).\n\nAbstract\n\n
 How can an anthropologist contribute to a better understanding of contempo
 rary institutions ? By contrast with sociological studies\, anthropology  
 provides an ethnographic perspective\, an analysis of everyday practices a
 nd representations. It emphasizes macro-micro articulations\, and seeks to
  illuminate how power circulates and irrigates the structures and the func
 tioning of institutions.\n\nThis ethnographic work requires patience and i
 nteractivity. To show what is at stake in this kind of approach\, I would 
 like to present the fieldwork I did in two different contexts\, national a
 nd international: the French Parliament and the World Trade Organisation. 
 These two institutions share a common vocation: they aim to produce norms 
 which will impact the economic and social life of the people. However\, th
 ere is a significant gap between the political practices observed in the F
 rench assembly and the transnational diplomacy at work in the WTO.\n\nPutt
 ing together these two experiences\, I will propose some reflections based
  on my ethnographic explorations in the field of institutions.\n
