This paper sets out my acquaintance with the work of ESREA since 2016, my reading about autobiographical research and the development of my ideas for a study of The Companionship of Books or what is now known as bibliotherapy. I have defined this as how reading books can help to make us feel better. The paper looks at what kind of books this might be and suggests that most may be found in the area of literature, although not exclusively so, and other types such as autobiography or natural history books are suggested. Theories underpinning bibliotherapy are put forward both by literary specialists and by psychotherapists. The views of my own literature students are also set out and examined as are my own views. I refer to my own early experiences of the restorative power found in literature, particularly poetry, and this is referred to as part of a longer autoethnographic enquiry into the subject which this paper is the preface to. A number of personal stories relating to reading books for assistance in difficult times are referred to, again poetry featuring significantly, but also the value of libraries in supporting and enabling individuals to survive life’s rigors. Finally, a parliamentary report is mentioned, referring to the role of the arts in general as a source of improving our mental wellbeing and the contribution to played by two of its proponents in furthering this aim. In my conclusion the importance of adult education is stressed in ensuring that The Companionship of books can help us to progress in a post-pandemic world.

The main theme of this essay is twofold: 1. the role of unforeseen, unplanned events and encounters that usually take place in the course of ethnographic fieldwork, and 2. the advantages and disadvantages of fieldwork collaboration with an indigenous partner/assistant, combining his/her competences in local matters with that in social sciences. These reflections are based on the author’s experiences from research carried out in the U.S., focusing on the Polish-American diaspora and from studies conducted among indigenous communities of the Andean America. The cases discussed are related to the situation in Ecuador and Bolivia, and above all Chile, where the author carried out his fieldwork in the area of Araucania, the native land of Mapuche.

In this article, I would like to present a set of concepts that offer the possibility of, on the one hand, broadening the traditional, methodological, and technical skills of a researcher and a qualitative analyst, as well as, on the other, increasing the researcher’s intellectual capacity associated with combining categories, interpreting data, and interpreting the causes and effects of the emergence of certain social phenomena. The objective of the article is to indicate and describe some of the methodologies, methods, and research techniques, the recognition of which-as well as the use of certain resultant procedures-can be conducive to creative conceptual and interpretative solutions. Therefore, I am going to describe the serendipity phenomenon, which exemplifies new creative solutions with regard to the following research methodologies: symbolic interactionism, contemplative studies, phenomenology, ethnography, and grounded theory. Moreover, the question of intuition in qualitative research will be addressed as well. Some suggestions with regard to how to be creative in qualitative research will be presented as a consequence of the analyses of the above-mentioned concepts.

W artykule chciałbym przedstawić zestaw koncepcji umożliwiających poszerzenie tradycyjnych, metodycznych i technicznych umiejętności badacza i analityka jakościowego oraz jego umiejętności intelektualnych związanych z łączeniem kategorii, interpretacji danych, a także interpretacji przyczyn i skutków powstania pewnych zjawisk społecznych. Celem artykułu jest wskazanie i opisanie niektórych metodologii, metod i technik badawczych, których poznanie, jak i użycie pewnych procedur z nich pochodzących, może sprzyjać twórczym rozwiązaniom koncepcyjnym i interpretacyjnym. Dlatego opiszę zjawisko kontekstu odkrycia, będącego egzemplifikacją nowych twórczych rozwiązań, w odniesieniu do następujących metodologii: metodyki badawczej interakcjonizmu symbolicznego, badań kontemplatywnych, fenomenologii, etnografii, metodologii teorii ugruntowanej. Ponadto poruszony zostanie także problem intuicji w badaniach jakościowych, która często wnosi nowe i wartościowe inspiracje do badań empirycznych. Przedstawione zostaną również pewne wnioski, będące wynikiem analiz wyżej wymienionych koncepcji, a dotyczące tego, jak być kreatywnym w badaniach jakościowych.
