Areas of agreement (Consensus fields). Methodological aspects towards conciliation between anthropology and sociology In this article, we try to describe the historical process of reconciliation between qualitative sociology and anthropology in the context of contemporary societies. From various examples of authors and researches in the social sciences history, it shows the convergent or divergent positions with a special focus on methodological aspects. The proximity of both disciplines seems reconciliation from the common fieldworks called "areas of agreement": in particular, observation, interviews, life stories and specially depth or observational interviews. The foreseeable consequence of this sociological and anthropological (or ethnological) overlap is the creation of a new field for the human sciences: the socioanthropology.
