Zusammenfassung:	In responding to the honour given me by this 2006 Weaver-Tremblay Award, I will sketch some aspects of my academic and non-academic background, ponder the label "applied," discuss the balance between intellectual inquiry and pragmatic anthropology, and give some examples of my applied work, focusing on the James Bay region. /// L'honneur de recevoir le prix Weaver-Tremblay m'amène à relater quelques éléments de mon parcours universitaire et non-universitaire, à réfléchir sur la nature de l'étiquette " appliquée ", à discuter de l'équilibre entre la recherche intellectuelle et l'anthropologie pragmatique, et, enfin, à donner quelques exemples de mes travaux appliqués en focalisant sur la région de la Baie James.
