The paper discusses the results of fieldwork among the Daba in Cameroon and the Dogon in Mali. The author confronts indigenous conceptualisation of wealth distinguishing both sorghum wealth and money wealth with such theoretical constructs as post-tribal society, tribal economics, pristine affluence and petite production marchande. The analysis of specific behaviors and conceptualizations of the chosen conceptual category from the Daba and Dogon worlds shows how the process of hybridization of contemporary African rural communities culture has contributed towards coexistence of cultural patterns typical for the domestic mode of production (subsistence logic) and patterns that are taken over from a market economy (small-scale, commercial farming and income logic).

Based on the classic concept developed by M.L. Pratt and the author’s experience of fieldwork in Africa, this article discusses methods of building a contact zone during anthropological field research. Under the conditions of such research, a limited space of mutual, lasting, interactive relations is created between the anthropologist and the local social environment. The contact zone understood in this way is produced discursively and practiced physically. The time factor and coordination of the anthropologist’s availa- bility with the rhythm of life in the studied community are paramount. The contact zone may have different scope and social depth – it will be shallow, scattered and short-lived in field research covering an extensive area, but will acquire an interactive depth during an “intensive habitation”, when an anthropologist shares everyday life with the studied community.
