abstract noteAs the usefulness of integrating the historical dimension into anthropology no longer needs to be demonstrated, the political is one of the dimensions of this historization. However, this integration of history has not made it obvious that politics is taken seriously in the analysis of observed social practices. Sometimes contracted (hypo-politicization), sometimes amplified (hyper-politicization), politics nonetheless manifests itself through a research posture sensitive to its manifestations and consequences both in terms of observed social practices and in those of research. This article is intended as a contribution to this reflection on the subject of historization through politics. From elements of a fieldwork first carried out as part of a doctoral thesis on conversions to the Bahā’ī faith in Tunisia, including later fieldwork, focuses on the way to integrate politics into this anthropological approach. This posture aims to situate the practices observed in the contemporary world to better understand the issues by making the Maghreb a terrain that is neither an exotic exception (hypo-politicization) nor a political exception (hyper-politicization) but, more simply, a field with specificities certainly, but a field like any other.
