The article is focused on the intellectual significance of the theory of myth developed by prominent Polish anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski within his anthropological approach known as functionalism. Th e author argues that Malinowski already in the first half of the 20th century anticipated the main trend within the later studies on myth. Like many influential myth-theorists of the next generations, Malinowski recognized the elements of rationality within mythical thinking. Both his emphasis on the integrity of culture as well as his opposition to diff usionism and evolutionism resonate with the perspective of structuralists in the second half of the 20th century. According to Malinowski, myth and science as the parts of culture serve mainly for the basic biological needs of the human body. Th e more elaborated vision of the functionality of myth has been proposed later in the philosophy of mythology of German poststructuralist Hans Blumenberg. Despite that, Malinowski’s attention to the function of myth reflected and formed the general tendency of contemporary science of myth. Th is tendency presupposes the “de-archaization” of myth in contrast to the progressivist vision of myth as entirely “irrational” or “paralogical” thinking. Th e author also analyses how the intellectual heritage of Malinowski is used in the recent studies made by contemporary Polish and Ukrainian scholars.

Jak wpływają opisy literackie na treść rozprawy naukowej? Jak dużą swobodą w zakresie ich stosowania dysponuje antropolog? Czy może sobie pozwolić na jakikolwiek liryczny opis? Artykuł przedstawia sposoby konstruowania opisów literackich w Argonautach Zachodniego Pacyfiku Bronisława Malinowskiego. By uchwycić charakter dyskursywności stworzonej przez polskiego badacza, zestawiono tę monografię z innymi sposobami opisu charakterystycznymi dla dzieł autorstwa wybranych podróżników i antropologów. Poruszono również kwestię fikcji literackiej i jej wykorzystania w tworzeniu tekstów antropologicznych.

Fear is ever-present in man’s history feeling, regardless of their époque or culture. In my paper I would like to examine what and whom the natives of the New Guinea fear as well as how the fears of the Islanders are constructed, basing my reflection upon Bronislaw Malinowski’s research. In my research I will focus particularly on two beings, sorcerers bara’u and witches mulukwausi, for they perform important civil functions in their communities. Researching upon New Guinea’s demonology will be a step further in my attempt to compare the Islander’s culture and the European culture, in order to bring out some invariant rules and mechanisms concerning fear, mutual to attributive culture. This paper has been inspired by Claude Lévi-Strauss’ structuralism.

Kuchnia w Biszkeku jest autoryzowanym zapisem rozmowy, przeprowadzonej jesienią 2013 r., w stolicy Kirgistanu. Dyskusja, inspirowana wizytą w lokalnym muzeum, dotyczyła problemów wynikających z kulturowych reakcji człowieka na potrzeby biologiczne i pozabiologiczne. Wychodząc od koncepcji Bronisława Malinowskiego autorki podjęły refleksję nad możliwościami budowania takiej teorii kultury, która by wykorzystywała zróżnicowane lokalnie reakcje na uniwersalne potrzeby człowieka.

Kitchen in Bishkek is an authorised transcription of a conversation which took place in autumn 2012, in the capital of Kirgizstan. The discussion, inspired by a visit to the local museum, was concerning the problems of a cultural reception of the human reaction to biological and non-biological needs. Using Bronisław Malinowski’s conception, the authors have pondered upon a possibility of creating a theory of culture, which would make a use of local differences of reactions to universal human needs.
