This paper embarks on the epistemological debate on native anthropology and examines the complexities inherent in the process of production of ethnographic knowledge in the post-accession Europe. The author first addresses the questions of reflexivity in anthropology. In relation to this, the paper discusses the interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives on researcher’s positionality in the field of the study and situatedness of knowledge claims. Subsequently, the author demonstrates how their own status as a native anthropologist was played out in their ethnographic fieldwork among Polish migrants in Belfast. To this end, the author examines their positionality in the field, pointing to intricacies of the insider/outsider status. Next, the paper focuses on the dialectics at work in carrying out an ethnographic study among the members of the same ethnic group, but away from home. It indicates potential disadvantages and advantages deriving from such a situation.

This chapter is a reflection on the places and spaces that have shaped my research and my writing. The chapter highlights my research trajectory as a researcher and academic at a university in British Columbia, Canada. Researcher positionality is a key concept in considering my researcher journey. This chapter takes a journey that is highlighted by family history, being Chinese, a settler, and a non-Indigenous researcher working with Indigenous peoples. There are tensions as well as learning experiences that are the results of working in research. These evolve into my awareness of triple consciousness, intersectionality, co-researcher relationships, and how I move forward as a facilitator for change. As a woman of colour and researcher, I examine the multiple locations that have affected my research experiences. The lessons learned from my engagement in different research projects sheds a light on how one can go forward meaningfully, making choices, as a researcher and concurrently navigate community and academic spaces. My research context draws from a focus on diversity, social justice, anti-racism, community-engaged research, and research relationships. This has led me to becoming an activist-researcher.

The Centered Reality. Helmuth Plessner’s Anti-naturalistic Account

This paper discusses the criticism of naturalism based on the irreducibility of first-person-perspective facts. This critique considers naturalism insufficient since it propos-es the view of reality as a centerless dimension. However, simply reintegrating subjec-tive facts into a naturalistic view of reality we eventually produce a split situation in which conscious and self-conscious forms of life require a special consideration, thus appearing as separated from the whole of reality. In order to overcome what turns out to be a dualistic interpretation of reality, this paper considers Helmuth Plessner’s non-naturalistic approach. It elaborates the notion of positionality and aspectivity as charac-teristics of all natural forms of life, thus leading to the consideration of reality an essen-tially centered dimension and of humans as part of nature.

The field commonly known as Romani Studies has been monopolized for decades almost entirely by non-Romani researchers and, consequently, has been written from an outsider’s perspective, from the standpoint of the majority culture. However, there is currently a significant increase in the number of Romani academics who critically assess the body of research on the Roma and simultaneously lay the foundations of so-called Critical Romani Studies. This situation inevitably leads to questioning the relationship between the researcher and the researched and negotiating the position of the Romani scholar writing from a minority perspective. In this article, I discuss the potential of positionality theory and its added value for the development of Romani Studies. Referring to the scholarly achievements of representatives of other minorities or peripheral communities (or as Gayatri Spivak calls them – subalterns), I will present the challenges and opportunities faced by minority researchers in negotiating the multiple roles arising from their status as „outsiders within” (Collins 1986) and how they can be applied in Romani Studies. I conclude that the synthesis of life experience, academic education, and adherence to high standards in the research process, which many Romani scholars possess, constitutes an added value for the development of Romani Studies, enriching it with the necessary diversity of perspectives and voices.

Dziedzina naukowa potocznie zwana romologią (Romani Studies) była przez dziesięciolecia zmonopolizowana niemal całkowicie przez badaczy nieromskich, a co za tym idzie, pisana była z zewnątrz, z perspektywy kultury większościowej. Obecnie jednak zaobserwować można znaczący wzrost liczby akademików pochodzenia romskiego, którzy w sposób krytyczny rozliczają dorobek badań nad Romami i jednocześnie sami tworzą podwaliny tzw. krytycznej romologii (Critical Romani Studies). Nieuchronnie obecna sytuacja prowadzi do zakwestionowania relacji między badaczem a badanym oraz negocjowania pozycji naukowca Roma piszącego z perspektywy mniejszości. W niniejszym artykule omawiam potencjał teorii pozycjonalności i jej wartość dodaną dla rozwoju romologii. Odnosząc się do dorobku naukowego przedstawicieli innych mniejszości czy społeczności peryferyjnych (lub jak określa ich Gayatri Spivak – subalterns) przedstawię wyzwania i możliwości, przed którymi stoją badacze mniejszościowi w negocjowaniu wielu ról wynikających z ich statusu „outsiderów wewnątrz” (outsiders within) (Collins 1986) i jak mogą być one zastosowane w romologii. Wnioskuję, że synteza doświadczenia życiowego, wykształcenia akademickiego oraz przestrzegania wysokich standardów w procesie badawczym, które posiada wielu romskich uczonych, stanowi wartość dodaną dla rozwoju romologii, wzbogacając ją o niezbędną różnorodność perspektyw i głosów.
