This case study questions ethnographic practice and focuses on a specific social interaction: how members of a professional group (cabinetmakers) ask for help in the workshop. The aim of this contribution is to give an example of potential uses of ethnographic tools--such as observation--and to encourage students to exercise an ethnographic awareness while bearing in mind and questioning the effects of their own social position on their research.
