Summary/Abstract: In this paper I first focus on the foundation of the AFEA (Association Francaise d'Ethnologie et d'Anthropologie) and I try to find out how this new association has been managing (or not) to bring together anthropology and folklore since its foundation in 2009. Using this French example, I also try to shed light on more global dis- cussions going on between folklorists, ethnologists and anthropologists worldwide. I present different models of possible cooperation between anthropologists and folklorists, ranging from unitarism to federalism. Finally, I question the relevance of dualist schemes in our field of studies.
