Abstract
The (enlightened) perspective of an anthropologist on entrepreneurship and the project An interview with Jean-Pierre Boutinet Jean-Pierre Boutinet is the author of Anthropologie du projet (2012) and Vers une société des agendas, Une mutation des temporalités (2004).The main focus of his work has been on the study of the project through the lens of his expertise as psychologist and anthropologist.This interview is quite relevant to project studies as it nurtures new thoughts on the relationship between entrepreneurship and projects.Boutinet influences in France on the understanding of the emergence and evolution of the word and the concept of project in the Western world has been tremendous.From this perspective, he offers a fresh critical look at the very central notion of time in the context of the project.He questions how the term project is used today and how we tend to dismiss the essence of its very nature for its creativity and meaning.As his work has been published only in French, it has not been discovered by the project management community at large with the exception of a few scholars (e.g.Garel, 2013;Scranton, 2015).We hence take the opportunity provided by this special section to introduce the important hidden elements of project studies to a larger audience.In short, we believe that Jean-Pierre Boutinet's unique perspective enlightens the relationship between entrepreneurship and the project.The format of an interview facilitates a dialogue between these two fields.It allows to critically assess the links between the project approach and that of entrepreneurship in a natural conversation.The interview also situates the notions of entrepreneurship and the project in relation to each other, in their convergence and contrast.The figures of the entrepreneurship and the project are likely to bring creativity and singularity together.Overall, we would like to know more about how Jean-Pierre Boutinet as a psychologist and anthropologist situates and compares the two notions of entrepreneurship and the project, and about the form which a dialogue between these two notions might take, ideally.The interview is organized in seven sections: convergences between entrepreneurship and the project; convergences between temporalities of entrepreneurship and the project; entrepreneurship, bricolage, improvisation and creativity; entrepreneurship and project management; about the entrepreneurial project: project to be completed and interminable project; space and time in the entrepreneurial project; and from the author of the project to the self-employed person, through the injunction to autonomy.1. Convergences between entrepreneurship and the project I: What is your critical view of entrepreneurship and the project?JPB: spontaneously, if I had to say something about the existing relationship between entrepreneurship and the project, I would say that I see a great similarity between these two figures insofar as both are creative processes that solicit the individual or collective actor's capacity to afford themselves the means of producing some novel form or other of technico-social

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
