Paper long abstract:
This paper intends a critical reflection on some aspects of the links between social research and public policy--in other words, the extent of the "applicability" of social and ethnographic knowledge outside academic circles. This subject is already established in social sciences, recently gaining a new momentum. Thus, we expect to contribute to both the debate on professional practice which is linked to processes we generically call social management and social intervention and the dialogue between ethnographic production and issues on the public agenda. To that end, we resort to a series of empiric experiences which allow us to reach provisional results and which brings forward new challenges regarding how we "do" ethnography at the crossroads where we stand in the present.
