Based on a concrete experience of research, this text proposes a dialogue between psychoanalysis and anthropology, especially in terms of the relationships between researchers and their objects in ethnographical work: in fieldwork, in analyses and in the interpretation of data. These relationships are seen on the basis of transference. They showed the possibility for dialogue on an analytical and methodological level, between two fields of interest, both of which conceive reality as mediated by language.
