【 摘 要 】

Transposing a field of practices into a constituted knowledge is highly problematic for the ethnographer observing practices founded on the experience of the spiritual world. How can a so-called spiritual experience be observed? How can it be transformed into an ethnographical knowledge? Drawing on two contrasted cases issued from my fieldwork in Burma, spirit possession and esoteric Buddhism, I will try to show that, in any case, the observer finds himself caught in the observed situation (see Jeanne Favret-Saada on this subject) and that in order to construct knowledge about these experiences, it is necessary to analyse the interactions between the ethnographer and the ethnographees.
