Summary/Abstract: The paper shows the chains of transformations that enabled a little-known art of papercutting to become a subject of ethnographic research in Israel. The main assumptions of the actor network-theory are presented. The meaning of “circulating reverence” and “chain of reference” is described. The crucial role of “representative guarantors” in the chain of reference on ethnographic research on Jewish papercut from the beginning of 20th century is shown. The role of the center of calculation is presented. The chain breakdown during the Second World War is described.
