Résumé

Dans cette introduction, nous avançons que l'attention ethnographique portée aux documents, un élément banal de notre quotidien, peut révéler des manœuvres sociales qui accélèrent ou préservent des configurations particulières de pouvoir et d'imputabilité. Nous employons l'expression « document/ation » pour rendre compte des possibles relevant des moments d'action. Les articles de ce numéro spécial mettent en évidence les tensions dynamiques entre la systématisation et l'ambigüité qui résultent des situations de vérification, d'appréciation et de validation.
