The article aims to present the project of anthropology that refers to the well known tradition of practising ethnographic surrealism. Considering few modifications of action and qualitative research, the project rediscovers the “non-obvious” and “taken for granted” aspects of daily life and attempts to create the reality in a responsible manner. It is applied in artistic and scientific projects and may play a supportive role in the educational process and in the development of anthropological imagination.
About the humbugisation of anthropology The authors of the article assume that anthropology is constantly engaged. They wish to see research work and ethnographic transcript somewhere between the truth and fictional creation. As an alternative to anthropological studies and the trivialization of texts, they point out to a program of the discipline’s open humbugisation and its traces in the media displays. Eventually, it would be an attempt to achieve a new reflection on the subject of research and narration.
