Support for ethnographic journals
The Ministry of Culture supports four ethnological journals: Le journal des anthropologues, Terrain, Ethnologie française et Ethnographies.org.
Journal of Anthropologists was born in 1990 from the desire to transform the Bulletin ofFrench Association of Anthropologists (AFA) in a genuine reference journal for anthropology.
The purpose of the Journal of Anthropologists is to explore and report on innovative areas of research that can open up new perspectives for the discipline and reflect its progress.
Concerned to go beyond cultural areas, the thematic dossiers propose to address a problem in a comparative perspective and linking different societies around the world.
Moreover, in the same spirit of openness, the Journal des anthropologues has always published alongside a majority of anthropologists, specialists from neighbouring disciplines: sociology, psychoanalysis, political science, economics, etc.
Founded in 1971 by Jean Cuisenier as part of the Centre d'ethnologie française, the journal French ethnology is today one of the main French-language journals of general anthropology. The journal maintains a special but not exclusive attention to European companies.
Located since 2008 within the editorial division of the Maison Archéologie & Ethnologie – René Ginouvès of the Université Paris Nanterre, it was directed by Martine Segalen (2006-2017) and Nicolas Adell (since 2017).
French ethnology publishes four issues per year. Issues published since 2001 are available online through the portal Cairn, with a 36-month mobile barrier, and the oldest are available on the platform JSTOR.
Created in 1983 by the mission of the Ethnological Heritage at the Ministry of Culture and Communication, the journal of ethnology "Land" has been published since No. 66 by the House of archaeology and ethnology (MAE) of the University of Nanterre, supported by the Department of Research Management and Scientific Policy.
The online review ethnographies.org Social Sciences, intends to renew the descriptive approach of the fields in an anthropological and sociological perspective.
Since its creation in 2001, the journal Ethnographiques.org has published 36 issues, covering topics as varied as museography, sport, kinship, music, ritual expressions, health, social mobilizations, the development of Islam, new technologies, work or heritage practices.
It offers both young and established researchers the opportunity to publish unpublished works by mobilizing all the resources of information and communication technologies to better reflect ethnographic realities.
