| Summary: | Presented as an imaginary dialogue with the author of <em>Art and Agency</em>, this paper displays a number of methodological shared positions: the contextualist nature of his epistemology, his focus on relations rather than on objects, his sense of pragmatism, his proximity with the notion of “person-objects” such as developed by the author of the present paper, his attention to the meso-social level and, eventually, his<span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> </span>neutral standing in front of research objects. In spite of a few disagreements, all these properties bring to light a convergence between Gell’s anthropological approach and the kind of sociological methodology<span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> </span>presently practiced in certain trends of French sociology.
