Actually interfered by the old tension between what is general and what is particular, between the social structure and the experienced procedure, between the society and the individual, but at present, enrolled within other conceptual nets, the anthropology of experience has arisen diverse questions when setting the experience in circulation: can we divert the individual case off a general frame? Can we forecast the actions of individuals and their expressed senses from the knowledge of social, economical, cultural and linguistic institutions? With regard to these questions, the anthropology of experience will claim its own specifications. This work offers an introduction to it as well as to its conceptual plot and its argumentative thesis. It analyses, in first place, the notion of “social drama”, then, it attempts to explain the notion of “narrative”, “reflectivity” and lastly, the concept of “experience” itself.
