The inspiration to write the article has been provided by a source document – a letter from a woman from Besko to Polish president Bolesław Bierut with a request to be exempted from displacement during Operation Vistula, launched in April 1947. An analysis of the document, employing the thick description method, resulted in working conclusions pertaining both the specific event and the context in which it occurred, as well as conclusions concerning potential new research fields.

The aim of this anthropological essay is to present the emotional and intellectual processes accompanying me over the years of field research among the Bolivian Moré, who belong to the Chapacura language family. The narrative structure is twofold: addressing both topics and issues that motivated me intellectually to do the research, and the attitudes of Moré themselves, as well as conceptual categories around which their narratives seem to focus. Some passages of this essay take a more analytical form, as I focus on the impor- tance of unpredictable events, the context, and the transformation of field experience over time during the research process. I conclude that both sides of the fieldwork encounter face the task of getting to know the Other. Each gets to know the Other in a particular way through conceptual categories and ways of acting that result from their current way of being in the world.

This article presents the general problem of the postmemorial character of parts of contemporary historiography. An illustration of this issue is the preliminary analysis of descriptions of Polish‑Ukrainian relations during World War II. The analysis is based on tropes derived from genocide studies. Several research hypotheses were formulated on this basis. They require further verification. This is, among others, the question of introducing the concept of ‘social postmemory’ and showing its relation to historical policy. Promising seems to the perception of the connection between post‑memory, discursiveness, and eristic. The issue of intergenerational dialogue on the past and memory has also emerged in the background of deliberations. In the article, an ethno‑historical variant of practicing history has also been criticized in an indirect way.

W pierwszej części artykułu zarysowano teoretyczne ramy funkcjonowania różnorodnych opisów przeszłości w teraźniejszości. Wyróżniono trzy perspektywy narracyjne: naukową, perspektywę pamięci oraz perspektywę polityczną. Postawiono tezę, że perspektywy te bardzo często funkcjonują w swoistym przemieszaniu, a dominującą rolę w perspektywie naukowej odgrywa paradygmat etnohistoryczny. Druga część pracy dotyczy przyczyn istniejących w środowisku naukowym nieporozumień w zakresie interpretacji wydarzeń na Wołyniu i Galicji Wschodniej w latach 1943–1944. The first part of the article outlines a theoretical framework for the functioning of various descriptions of the past in the present. Three basic narrative perspectives are distinguished here: the scientific perspective, the perspective of memory, and the political perspective. A thesis has been put forward that in different texts these perspectives are often mixed up, and a dominant role is played by an ethnohistorical paradigm. The second part of the study

The aim of this article is to discuss the problem of relations between history, memory and ethnic identity. The closer look at similarities and differences pertaining to the character of the ethnicity of Polish and Lithuanian Tatars is taken with a special focus on the vision of ethno-history shared by each group. The empirical part of this text includes the description and interpretation of four documentaries. The analysis of visual materials show how Polish and Lithuanian Tatars use their cultural resources, e.g. the history and the past (partly common, partly different) to communicate their ethnic identity.

Celem tego artykułu jest analiza relacji między historią, pamięcią i tożsamością etniczną. Szczególną uwagę skupiono na ukazaniu podobieństw i różnic między polskimi i litewskimi Tatarami w kontekście występującej w każdej z grup wizji etnohistorii. W części empirycznej zwarto opis i interpretację czterech filmów dokumentalnych. Analiza materiałów wizualnych pokazuje jak w obu społecznościach używa się kulturowych zasobów, to jest historii i przeszłości (podobnej, ale też odmiennej) w procesach komunikacji etnicznej tożsamości.
