The tacit knowledge is difficult to control and study. It would be imprudent to ask about it in a survey and it cannot be observed from the outside or captured by any IT tools. Moreover, its functioning cannot be regulated by the rules. The following article discusses the application of ethnography for examining this intangible phenomenon.

Collaborationist Czechism took over a Reich legend about the Third Reich´s fight for Europe of everlasting peace and social reconciliation in the so-called civil war. After the triumph of the Nazi Germany, the Czech issue would have been to be solved. However, during the war intermezzo the Nazi propaganda pretended an interest in the Czech "folk culture" and its apparent creator - the Czech farmer. Simultaneously, the Protectorate promoted the German "folk culture" (mainly the national costume) and the Reich ethnography (e.g. the ethnographer Kerkman, an expert in folk costumes) as unbeatable models for the Czech ethnography. The study describes the resources of the Nazi interest in the "folk culture", the forms of the culture ́s promotion, as well as the causes of an alleged support to the ethnographic curiosities in the Protectorate. However, the "folk culture" and the ethnography that promoted this culture, worked as a support to Czechism, a Czech nation ́s anchor in its alleged roots, and as an expression of national nostalgia and sentiment. The folk costumes and traditions were revitalized. In comparison to the interwar trends of ethnography, both models of the interest in the "folk culture" gave an impression of a kind of anachronism. The models disparaged the Czech and Moravian people down to the position of an ethnographic group. The "folk culture" (especially folk costumes, folk songs) was also used by the exile propaganda around Edvard Beneš, President of Czechoslovakia, to encourage the exile Czechism, to induce a feeling of the Czech nation´s wholeness (in emigration and at home), and to manifest Czechism and Czechoslovakism in the public.

The individualistic orientation of life histories has long been hailed as an antidote to the generalizing tendencies of ethnographic research. However, the life history method is not without problems of its own, as I explain by referencing some of the most well celebrated life histories and so-called ‘autobiographies’ in the anthropological corpus. The traditional method of composing the life history as a flowing narrative is not only morally dishonest but also intellectually inadequate because it conveys the false impression of a chronologically timeless and uninterrupted soliloquy. By focusing only on the final product, life histories ignore the other two components in the communicative process. In this article, I emphasize the need to (re-)insert the producer and process into the research equation.

The paper analyzes a recent experiment in the collaborative production of ethnographic knowledge and the use of the graphic novel form as an alternative to the conventional academic monograph. Lissa: A Story about Medical Promise, Friendship, and Revolution (2017) is discussed here as a useful tool in the age of globalization for building recognition of the need to protect the lives of people other than our immediate kin, tribe, race, or nation. The paper argues that both the collaborative research behind the story and the formal experimentation stem from the authors’ sense of accountability to their informants. By telling a story about distant others who are given names and faces, Lissa’s authors encourage readers to develop empathy across borders.

The article presents an ethnographical narrative about children’s participation in the cultural and ceremonial life in Mexico and Bali, in order to examine commonalities and differences between the two cultures. The importance of considering cultural diversity in early childhood education and of including cultural values in activities for the children is stressed, as well as the need for these programmes to be rooted in the family and community. These aspects are related to the need to allow children to develop a clear personal identity, to value cultural diversity, and to solve problems related to differences between them.

The contemporary investigations on power, politics, government and knowledge are profoundly influenced by Foucault’s work. Governmentality, as a specific way of seeing the connections between the formation of subjectivities and population politics, has been used extensively in anthropology as neoliberal governmentalities have been spreading after the 1990s all over the world. A return to Foucault can help to clarify some overtly ideological uses of ‘neoliberalism’ in nowadays social sciences.

The phenomenon of new media has been a subject of ongoing discussions for a years. On the one hand, they are still reveal many doubts and concerns related to their interpretation and description. On the other hand – has become a pretext for extended reflection on contemporary culture and communication strategies. Particularly important in this context seem to be stories about the meanings of new media in everyday use. Indeed new media are involved in everyday practice and experience of their users.

The aim of this text is to depict the evolution of change in representations of labor and value in a neoliberal society. This evolution is shown through ethnographical studies of small companies in the Upper Silesia as well as the work performed in such companies. The study argues that due to the influence of neoliberał ideology, the social functioning of labor and value has evolved from the class paradigm in the industrial society to a discontinuous structure of the set in the contemporary society. Labor has also changed its measurable representative features. For example, labor is no longer perceived through the lens of worktime or effort, but rather through the lens of value. The text constitutes an analysis of the changes in the labor and value structure and how this structure is perceived in a neoliberal society.

The paper presents and analyses views of the scholar, ethnographer and founder of the so-called Łódź school of ethnography, Kazimiera Zawistowicz-Adamska (1897–1984) concerning the issues of cognitive difficulties they encountered – as well as some that are still experienced by folklore researchers. While perceiving a close relationship between folklore and folk artistic culture this scholar emphasized the extent of studies devoted to these issues in the global science and their popularity in non-scientific circles. Simultaneously, she presented an opinion that ethnographers should not be constrained to studies on so-called material culture that is always conditioned socially and always appears in the context of phenomena (fairly conventionally) of both, social and spiritual culture. Thus, the scholar’s standpoint functions as a kind of conciliation for op-posing standpoints – supporters of things, on the one hand, and defenders of symbols on the other.

The first part of the text addresses the development of ethnography, ethnology and anthropology, respectively, as fields of study, based on the change of the research paradigm. The second part is focused on two most progressive sub-fields of the contemporary anthropology: urban and ethnic anthropology, respectively. It analyses the development of these two fields after 1989, as well as the key areas of research, especially with regard to the change of the political and social system and climate. The aim of the study is to accentuate the confusion with regard to the use of the terms ethnography, ethnology and anthropology and the development continuity of the field. In addition, it aims to underline the social bias of this field of study, even after 1989. Present-day anthropology applies the holistic approach and has remained, to a great extent, part of history. However, it would seem that its comparative scope is its weakness.

The article promotes the argument that anthropological or ethnological knowledge is primarily produced through ethnographies that present fieldwork experience. As publications that appear after returning home, they provide the social sciences with the most recent information about the present reality. Moreover, that is where we can find new methodological approaches and new theoretical concepts. Our contemporary experience in such a fast-changing world shows the uselessness of the formerly applied analytical notions, forcing us to search for a new form of description and new interpretative categories. The article is actually a survey of the best known fieldwork monographs presented through theories, schools and trends in cultural and social anthropology that have been constituted or overcome by these very monographs, which are milestones in over a century of ethnological/anthropological research. As the last ones are from the 21st century, they present not only the newest research results, but also the most up-to-date methodologies.

Artykuł dotyczy kwestii uwspólnienia procesu tworzenia tekstowego opracowania wyników badań etnograficznych prowadzonych przez zespół badawczy. Autorzy omawiają doświadczenie wspólnego działania w dwóch projektach terenowych – pierwszy poświęcony był pamięci o stacjonowaniu wojsk radzieckich w Legnicy, drugi spotkaniom rocznicowym organizowanym w Prywatnym Muzeum Ludowego Wojska Polskiego i Pamiątek po Armii Radzieckiej im. gen. Ludwika Polańskiego prowadzonym przez Michała Sabadacha, które znajduje się w Uniejowicach koło Złotoryi (ok. 30 km od Legnicy). Wynikiem tego pierwszego, realizowanego w ramach grantu NCN Legnica – pamięć podzielonego miasta, było powstanie zespołu Spółdzielni Etnograficznej. Jedną z manifestacji wspólnotowości badań jest omawiany w artykule dziennik terenowy, będący zarazem zapisem doświadczenia terenowego jak i rodzajem gry między badaczami. Eksploracja imprez rocznicowych w Uniejowicach od początku była doświadczeniem wspólnotowym. Autorzy artykułu wskazują, jak wpływało to na generowanie wiedzy i koncepcji interpretacyjnych. W efekcie badacze Spółdzielni zdecydowali się na pisanie monografii o rozmytym autorstwie, posługując się metodami współtworzenia tekstów on line. Dynamika tego procesu i trudności, jakie napotkał zespół, stanowią temat ostatniej partii artykułu.

EN

The article concerns the mutualization of the textual creation of the outcome of ethnographic research conducted by a team. The authors discuss the experience of joint activity in the course of two field projects – the first about the Soviet army stationed in Legnica, and the second, conducted by Michał Sabadach, about anniversary meetings organised by the General Ludwik Polański Private Museum of the Polish People’s Army and Soviet Army Mementoes situated in Uniejowice near Złotoryja (ca. 30 kms from Legnica). The outcome of the first project, realised as part of a National Science Centre grant: Legnica – memory of a divided town, was the creation of an Ethnographic Cooperative. One of the manifestations of the communality of the studies is the field diary, discussed in the article, a record of field experiences and, simultaneously, a game of sorts conducted by the researchers. From the very onset the exploration of the anniversary events held in Uniejowice was such a communal experience. The authors of the article indicate the manner in which it affected the process of generating knowledge and interpretation conceptions. Consequently, the Cooperative researchers decided to write a monograph with a vague authorship, while using methods of creating online texts. The dynamics of this process and the obstacles encountered by the team are the topic of the last part of the article.

The titular motto: “The ethnographer enters uninvited” could be the first commandment in a decalogue of the ethnographer-field researcher, encouraging him to boldly enter the domain of examined communities. This postulate, however, carries a (difficult to predict) risk of contacts with dangerous persons and perilous terrains (e.g. high mountains). The author presented situations of this kind, which he experienced in the course of research carried out in Central Asia, described the ways in which he overcame assorted complications, and wrote about the cognitive benefits of such confrontations.

How pluralism becomes hierarchical? Debating pluralism in contemporary PolandThis article discusses the multifaceted nature of religious pluralism. More specifically, it seeks to answer the question why, while advancing the claims of equality and diversity, the idea of pluralism reproduces inequalities and naturalizes hierarchies. In order to illuminate this problem, the article first presents a theoretical discussion and then refers it to the ethnographic evidence from a yearlong fieldwork in a multireligious locality in southeast Poland. It analyzes the impact of the discourse on “multiculturalism” on minorities’ plights and it exposes the processes in which religion, reconfigured as “culture” or “tradition,” is used as a discriminatory tool. By combining an exploration of a concrete ethnographic setting with an investigation of the broader implications of locally observed phenomena, it demonstrates the importance of anthropological perspective in the study of pluralism, or rather: the importance of a thorough dialogue between theory and ethnography. Dlaczego pluralizm hierarchizuje? Dyskusja na temat pluralizmu we współczesnej PolsceArtykuł podejmuje problem pluralizmu religijnego. Jego celem jest udzielenie odpowiedzi na pytanie dlaczego, mimo iż „pluralizm” promuje różnorodność i równość, równocześnie prowadzi do reprodukowania nierówności i czyni „naturalnymi” hierarchiczne relacje. W tym celu, artykuł w pierwszej kolejności przedstawia teoretyczną dyskusję, następnie zaś łączy ją z obserwacjami z rocznych badań terenowych prowadzonych w wieloreligijnej gminie w południowo-wschodniej Polsce. Poddaje analizie wpływ dyskursu na temat „wielokulturowości” na sytuację mniejszości oraz wyjaśnia, jak religia – rozumiana jako „kulturowy zasób” lub „tradycja” – staje się narzędziem dyskryminacji. łącząc analizę konkretnego przypadku z refleksją na temat szerszych implikacji badanych zjawisk, artykuł dowodzi znaczenia antropologicznej perspektywy w badaniu pluralizmu, a mówiąc precyzyjniej: znaczenia dialogu między teorią a etnografią.
