The article proposes a critical debate about the prejudiced separation between the knowledge of the academy or instituted science and the local knowledge of populations from different cultures and social organizations far from the surrounding society. From the ethnography of knowledge, the registered field material must be analyzed, already in the academy, by interdisciplinary interaction of researchers from different disciplinary areas. In the field, some private researcher focuses on certain areas of knowledge that interest him when practicing ethnography without, however, projecting his disciplinary field on his interlocutor. Of interest in everything associated with mathematics, for example, only after returning from the field would it make sense to use as a technique, a method of analysis proper to some ethno-x, where x is one of the academic disciplines that in this author's particular understanding could, for example, be mathematics.
