  abstract = {{I}n the globalized world, work presents itself as a nub of actualization of intermixed relations of domination. {H}ow does the ethnological analysis study such intermixed relations? {T}o answer the question the first part of the paper compares the anthropological approaches that {P}ierre {B}ourdieu and {G}{\'e}rard {A}lthabe designed in the key period of decolonization. {T}hey both broke with colonial ethnography through the analysis of relations of colonial domination in the field of work. {B}ourdieu?s approach is structuralist and he combines ethnography and sociological analysis to display the symbolic structure of the social positions. {A}lthabe's ethnologic approach is constructivist and tries to show the production of social relations by the power of imagination. {I}n the second part of the paper three researches are briefly presented : prostitution in the brothels of {P}otosi in {B}olivia, the job of the highly qualified women of {U}niversity of {C}anton in {C}hina, work in the building industry in {O}ran in {A}lgeria by way of a return to the {B}ourdieu's work. {I}n these very different situations, the analysis lays stress on the means by which the social agents build their social relations.},
