Description and Objectives
The origin of the title Ethnologie Française can be found in its history, as it is the successor to older journals like Arts et traditions populaires (Popular Arts and Traditions). Marking a break with the past, the new title was adopted 1971 at the National Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions and the Center for French Ethnology, which forms part of the CNRS. Ethnologie Française is now one of the leading journals of European anthropology, having opened up to new domains, fields, and methods of the discipline since the 1990s. The forty years of publication constituting a priceless heritage that reflects the evolution of anthropology in France.
While continuing to engage with the classic, founding subjects of the discipline (the body, relationships, nature, space, literature, and material culture), the journal addresses questions of global current affairs: migration, tourism, sports, humanitarian aid, and sexuality. The anthropology of Ethnologie Française, draws as much on French concepts as on Anglo-Saxon ones. It serves as a forum for displaying field works often to stimulate further research, and it interacts with history and sociology, two related disciplines.
Editorial Policy
Each issue (four issues per year, each 192 pages) focuses on a central theme established through discussion by editorial board. Then, the preparation is entrusted to one or more guest editors. The articles are then subjected to peer review, as well as the varia which complete each issue and are often written by young researchers. The journal devotes one of its yearly issues to the anthropology of a country in Europe that is defined culturally rather than politically. For this reason, it welcomes foreign authors (a third of articles). In 1994, Italia was published, followed more recently by: Great Britain (2007), Sweden (2008), Norway, (2009), Poland (2010), Ireland (2011), Slovenia (2012), Croatia (2013), and issues devoted to Turkey and Israel are currently being prepared.
Since 2000, Ethnologie Française has been available online at CAIRN. Previous issues have been digitized on J-STOR.
