Abstract
Conducting ethnography in the border space initiates a pro
cess of reflection on the role of the researcher in the face of the border
device and its impact on people on the move. How does the academy
position itself in a border context, among the other actors, such as
border actors, people on the move, solidarity networks? A group of
researchers share their reflections on an ethnographic field experien
ce along the French-Italian frontier. Direct encounters with solidarity
actors and people on the move, while making concrete experience of
the border, become a space to reflect on the role that researchers can
play in the perspective of solidarity and in their relationship with the
people involved.
