Based on the ethnography of a journey ‘to the roots’, this talk analyses practices of diasporic identification as they take place in and through the travels to China of Chinese - Tahitian descendant of emigrants. The travel itself entails an ‘evidential paradigm’: it is apprehended and realized as a kind of tracking and detective game. Identity is here explored as a research practice in travel.
