In the process, I identi- fy elements in the work of the filmmaker and anthropologist that amount to a critique of any simplistic opposition between prose and poetry, science and art, rational and irrational, material and immaterial, the thought world and the lived world, ethnographic description and creative interpretation, sound and word, ethnographic film and documentary, anthropology and cinema. Keywords: French anthropology; Anthropological theory; Ethnographic film; Marcel Mauss; Jean Rouch; Surrealism. vibrant v.9 n.2 ruben
