Artykuł omawia pojęcie liminalności, które w rozumieniu autorki przez ostatnie sto lat dokonało migracji z nauki o ludowości, jaką pierwotnie była folklorystyka, do etnologii, antropologii kultury, performatyki, a także krytyki artystycznej. Ta wędrówka rozpoczęła się w 1909 r. od pierwszego wydania książki Arnolda van Gennepa Obrzędy przejścia. Do pojęcia osadzonego w badaniach kultury ludowej powrócił w 2. połowie XX w. Victor Turner, dokonując jego redefinicji wobec nowych zjawisk kulturowych. Termin tak uwspółcześniony został następnie zawłaszczony przez dynamicznie rozwijaną w nowym millenium performatykę. Proces ten opisał Jon McKenzie. Natomiast artyści i badacze kultury w ostatnim okresie posługiwali się terminem w różny sposób: od rozumienia go w kategoriach „progu” (Maria Stangret-Kantor), do słowa wytrychu w kontekście kryzysów, przemian w sztuce, które dostrzegła krytyka artystyczna w końcu XX w. (Stuart Morgan). Konkluzja artykułu sugeruje, że pojęcie liminalności nadal będzie migrować w kierunku redefinicji wobec nowych metodologii i zjawisk zachodzących w nauce i sztuce.

W artykule przedstawiam wpływ filozofii Jeana-Jacques’a Rousseau na Claude’a Lévi-Straussa refleksję nad statusem i powołaniem antropologii kulturowej. Refleksję tę rozwija on w kontekście swych lektur dzieła Rousseau, któremu nadaje znaczenie etnologiczno-antropologiczne. W pierwszej części artykułu omawiam problematykę dwóch zasadniczych i dopełniających się tekstów Lévi-Straussa o Rousseau, w których podejmuje kwestię warunków powstania etnologii i jej wewnętrznych, teoretycznych sprzeczności, których rozwiązanie Lévi-Strauss znajduje właśnie u Rousseau, jak również jej implikacje praktyczno-polityczne. W części drugiej rozważam podobieństwa i różnice między myślą Lévi-Straussa i myślą Rousseau przez pryzmat napięcia między ich dwiema tendencjami: polityczno-­historyczną i kontemplatywno-mistyczną.

“Tradição” tem sido um conceito chave e objeto da etnologia europeia desde a fundação da disciplina até as políticas de patrimônio cultural imaterial hoje em dia. O foco tem recaído sobre as circulações culturais e sociais e as permutações que afetam os fatos tradicionais, mostrando a plasticidade das “tradições” diante das condições sociais em constante mudança. Entendidas como “usos do passado”, essas compreensões principalmente políticas e sociológicas da “tradição” precisam ser complementadas por uma visão sobre os aspectos emocionais dessa maneira peculiarmente humana de imaginar e experimentar o mundo. Este texto introduz três noções que destacam a dimensão experiencial da tradição: reencantamento, ritualização e criação de patrimônio. Espera-se que novos caminhos se abram para a exploração de todas as dimensões “tradicionais” e suas dinâmicas culturais.

La cuestión intercultural del mundo contemporáneo está ligada a la crítica del proyecto moderno de conocimiento y dominio de la naturaleza en cuanto único modo de comprensión de los seres humanos y su entorno. Este predominio casi exclusivo de la ciencia y de la tecnología en el siglo XIX supone un modelo empírico-naturalista y positivista. La metodología se apoya en un análisis hermenéutico de las memorias y los informes científicos de dos expediciones europeas al sur austral de América, a partir de las cuales se critican los tópicos esenciales de una estrecha visión de la ciencia unificada. Los principales resultados de este proyecto asumen la distinción entre las ciencias naturales y las sociales, debatida a partir de la fenomenología y la hermenéutica. Esta crítica permite clarificar la matriz empírico-racionalista que está definida por la expansión de la idea del mundo natural, tal como la determinó la ciencia europea del siglo XIX, la cual degrada y deslegitima los saberes de los mundos y de los pueblos del mar que habitan los confines de la Tierra del Fuego. Se concluye que reexaminar esta noción de ciencia es una cuestión apremiante para la revisión intercultural de las ideas de mundo y de un planeta sustentable.

En el marco de la conmemoración de los 80 años de fundación del Instituto Etnológico Nacional, este trabajo busca comprender el impulso del gran etnólogo francés Paul Rivet y de los primeros antropólogos y antropólogas que recibieron su influencia e imprimieron al naciente campo de la etnología, así como también intenta arrojar luz sobre la importancia de sus visiones programáticas. Espero lograr lo anterior recuperando una visión panorámica sobre la etnología de los Llanos Orientales colombianos, cuyo estudio fue comenzado por franceses y colombianos y luego secundado por norteamericanos, quienes, a pesar de sus notables contribuciones al campo, no continuaron sus investigaciones sobre esta región. Los Llanos Orientales colombianos y la Orinoquía colombo-venezolana adolecen aún de estudios prolongados y constantes sobre su inmensa diversidad cultural, testimonio de la gran deuda que los organismos públicos y la academia deben a este rincón del país. En este trabajo, pretendo proponer un panorama a partir de la revisión de las fuentes y de los agentes que estuvieron detrás de la investigación etnológica, arqueológica y lingüística de los Llanos. Es mi deseo que dicho programa suscite el interés de los investigadores para unirse a la importante tarea de actualizar los estudios antropológicos de la región oriental de Colombia. Haré primero un recorrido por el contexto indígena de los Llanos Orientales para luego centrarme en los testimonios que antropólogos y antropólogas han aportado al estudio de esta región.

This article highlights how the term “national discipline” is defined and used in ethnography/ethnology/anthropology. The author uses a terminological triad: ethnography/ethnology/anthropology, which relates to the same discipline. It indicates interchangeability of these terms and changes of approaching this discipline, but equally, the scope and degree of its coherence with the global science.

The text is assembled based on an Internet search regarding the contemporary reception of museum-related issues in the field of ethnography/ethnology/anthropology. By drawing comparisons between Polish and foreign academic anthropological centres, I aim to illustrate whether or how this subject is integrated into academic curricula, what trends are emerging, what seems relevant, and which issues are receiving attention. Unfortunately, in Polish anthropology (at the Universities of Warsaw, Wrocław, Poznań, Łódź, and Toruń), there is a tendency to diminish the role of museology in teaching the discipline. The situation is only different at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. In the text, I juxtapose Polish courses related to museology within ethnology and anthropology programmes with various anthropology departments at leading universities worldwide (Columbia University, Cambridge University, Yale University, Oxford, and Københavns Universitet).

Georges Devereux is known as the creator of ethnopsychoanalysis, a discipline that articulates psychoanalysis and anthropology in understanding human phenomena. If in relation to psychoanalysis Devereux declared himself a classical and orthodox Freudian, in relation to anthropology we do not find statements in the same way. The objective proposed for this article is to understand Devereux's insertion in the field of anthropology, considering his formation, his position in the field and the criticisms that he made about anthropology of his time. Devereux's theoretical training took place in the early 1930s and was guided by French anthropology, having Marcel Mauss as his reference author. After the theoretical studies, Devereux went to the United States, where he carried out training for his field research and made his doctoral thesis supervised by Alfred Kroeber, under the foundations of the culture and personality school. Devereux entered to the anthropological field as an opponent of culture and personality school, critical relativism and cultural determinism, seen by him as naive, refusing to face ethical issues and using distancing as a defense mechanism for non-recognition in the other. Although Devereux ascribes the studies of physicists Bohr and Heisenberg as the foundation of complementarism, we can find similarities between Devereux's proposal and the concept of 'total social fact' proposed by Mauss; in both, pluridisciplinary is central, the non-reduction of one discourse to another and the proposition that different explanations of the same phenomenon complement each other.

En el marco del septuagésimo aniversario de la revista Runa. Archivo para las Ciencias del Hombre, Claudia Briones reflexiona en esta entrevista sobre su trayectoria desde la Universidad de Buenos Aires hacia la Universidad Nacional de Río Negro, y los desafíos implicados en la creación de la carrera de Ciencias Antropológicas. Tomando como punto de partida cuatro artículos publicados en la revista entre 1985 y 2007 (dos de ellos en coautoría), repasa las articulaciones entre docencia, investigación, gestión y extensión. A partir de un itinerario intelectual que recorre preocupaciones y compromisos entrelazados con las luchas del Pueblo Mapuche-Tewelche, cuestiona los rótulos que cristalizan procesos y reflexiona sobre los desacuerdos que surgen en la convivencia, sobre las propuestas de los pueblos indígenas respecto a cómo ser juntos siendo otros —las cuales apuntan a la interexistencia, más que a la interculturalidad— y se pregunta por qué algunas de sus reivindicaciones políticas son inaudibles o invisibles, mientras que otras demandas son criminalizadas.

Fundada en 1948 y al menos hasta la década de 1980,Runa fue una expresión de los directores del Museo Etnográfico. Por ende sus discusiones giraron en torno al difusionismo, la americanística y posteriormente la fenomenología. Si bien estas teorías no fueron lo único que se plasmó en la revista, sí creo presentan un eje central durante las primeras tres décadas de su circulación. En este artículo pretendo desarrollar, a partir de los trabajos de José Imbelloni, Marcelo Bórmida y su entorno, dicho derrotero. Runa desarrolló en esa época una antinomia que podríamos denominar “diversidad autoritaria”: es claro que solo se publicaba lo que el director de la revista quería que se publicara. Pero esta posición arbitraria también hacía que la revista tuviera una línea clara. Si uno quería saber cuál era la visión sobre laamericanísticadesde el difusionismo podía referirse a dicha revista. Igual posteriormente respecto a la fenomenología. Cómo equilibrar una línea editorial que tenga personalidad pero a la vez sea democrática, participativa y acorde a los niveles de exigencia académica y científica actuales probablemente sea uno de los desafíos a futuro de revistas como Runa.

SWISS GENESIS OF ANTHROPOLOGY AND ETHNOLOGY BY JAN CZEKANOWSKI (1882-1965) AND STANISŁAW PONIATOWSKI (1884-1945) The history of Polish science still has many gaps. This is the case of Jan Czekanowski and Stanisław Poniatowski. They both studied physical anthropology at the University of Zurich. This article explains the reason for their ethnographic and ethnological research, which they successfully conducted in these disciplines. In addition, the questions of how they got to Switzerland and what prompted the choice of the field of study are answered. The political context of both scholars going to study in Switzerland is taken into account. For the first time in Polish literature on the subject, a complete list of scholars and courses that they studied at the University of Zurich is provided. The list is reconstructed on the basis of sources located in archives and libraries in Zurich.

With the accelerated digitization process that we are currently facing, organizations have begun to migrate their structural and strategic as well as symbolic and cultural processes to digital socialization spaces. Both from a point of view of promoting the organization, as well as the procedures that allow its own development. This reality should be understanded in order to carry out studies that encompass new forms of organizational expression, for which reason this text intends to explain the organization from the cyborg metaphor of Haraway (1984) and propose its study from multi-sited ethnography tools, specifically from the positions of digital ethnography.

Curt Nimuendajú Unckel is well known as a Brazilian ethnologist and linguist who acquired his scientific skills in a self-taught manner over the course of his life. In doing so, Nimuendajú found his way into academia with work that offers important impulses for comparative religion and the sociology of religion. However, Nimuendajú has hardly been received in religious studies to date. Therefore, this paper will focus on and present Nimuendajú's achievements in religious studies. For this purpose, the early period of Nimuendajú's upbringing will be examined (1914-1926), in which the interest in religious studies becomes particularly visible. In parallel, an exchange of letters that Nimuendajú had with the German ethnologist Theodor Koch-Grünberg (1872-1924) is consulted and provides background knowledge on Nimuendajú's genuine research interest.

Este artigo tem como intenção propor uma reflexão sobre a aplicação da categoría de “inconsciente na política”. O artigo sugere que o texto de Marx, 18 Brumário de Luis Bonaparte, na forma como foi lido por Levi-Strauss, indica uma linha de aplicação do conceito que se afasta da tradição freudiana, em favor de uma abordagem antropológica descritiva. O artigo mostra que autores como Franz Fanon recorreram à noção jungiana de “inconsciente coletivo”, como um recurso metodológico importante. Por fim, o artigo sugere que a reflexão política seria beneficiada com uma aproximação aos procedimentos metodológicos da etnografía e da etnología.

A partir de un ejemplo etnográfico concreto situado entre los Karitiana (pueblo indígena de lengua Tupi-Arikém en el estado de Rondônia, sudoeste de la Amazonía brasileña), este artículo discute algunas de las razones por las cuales la introducción de la crianza de animales en gran escala entre las sociedades nativas de las tierras bajas sudamericanas han fracasado y obtuvieron, en el mejor de los casos, éxitos relativos. Construida como parte importante de las políticas públicas oficialmente dedicadas a los pueblos indígenas desde el inicio del siglo XX, la crianza de animales se basa en una serie de presupuestos incompatibles con las formas amerindias de relación con los seres no humanos. Tales divergencias explican el fracaso de los múltiples intentos de implementación de la ganadería, piscicultura o avicultura (entre otras) en aldeas indígenas amazónicas, sugiriendo que tales actividades no parecen constituir buenas alternativas para la sostenibilidad económica de esas poblaciones.

After some general considerations on the topic of human rights, an analysis of the problems highlighted by two disciplines, psychoanalysis and ethnology, is attempted. The psychoanalytic viewpoint helps to understand what are the psychological aspects that favor the respect or the violation of human rights; the ethnological viewpoint, instead, by comparing different cultures allows us to answer questions regarding the diversity of human rights in various social structures, their validity across different countries, and the eventual imposition or conditioning, also through the use of force, of rights other than those of a given culture. Discussing with Muhidin Šarić (author of the 1993 book Keraterm. Erinnerungen aus einem serbischen Lager [Keraterm. Memories from a Serbian concentration camp]. Preface by Paul Parin. Klagenfurt: Drava Verlag, 1994), Paul Parin tries to give an explanation of facts that are still unclear. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Entrevista al señor Alí García Segura, académico de la Universidad de Costa Rica abocado al estudio de las lenguas indígenas. En ella, se narran aspectos de su historia personal que fundamentan su labor como investigador, su búsqueda de objetos representativos para la cultura bribri como el tsáwö y el asiento de Sibö̀ que lo llevó a visitar importantes museos en el exterior y, además, a indagar sobre el rol de investigadores foráneos quienes, en los siglos XIX y XX, visitaron Talamanca y estuvieron involucrados con la extracción de esas piezas. Se finaliza con una reflexión sobre la identidad de la comunidad indígena y sobre la importancia de la participación de sus integrantes en instituciones vinculadas con la preservación de su patrimonio.

The article presents one of the cyclical projects at the Student Circle for Ethnological Research and the Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology Division at the University of Gdańsk, namely, the “Anthropology Contest” organized from 2013 to 2018. The aim of the project were, among others, to promote Gdańsk ethnology, to spread knowledge about anthropology as an interdisciplinary science, and the increase cultural awareness among high school students. The four editions of the project differed from each other in both organization and theme. The formula of the project took on a different format, from test to photographic essays, film materials and micro-ethnographic research based on ethnographic interview. The article presents the format of the “Anthropology Contest” organization, topics of individual editions, as well as difficulties and dilemmas related to the dissemination of ethnological and anthropological knowledge among the young people.

Introdução: Este trabalho foi desenvolvido durante um projeto de voluntariado médico na Guatemala, numa área rural (Totonicapán), na qual a maioria da população apresenta baixo nível socioeconómico. Na Guatemala, em 2020, foram reportadas 65 373 adolescentes grávidas entre os 10 e os 19. Alguns estudos demonstram que as intervenções breves em países de baixa renda são métodos custo-efetivos, viáveis e reduzem as desigualdades ao nível da literacia em saúde. A educação sexual não está difundida em todas as escolas do país por questões culturais e existem vários estigmas associados ao tema. Os professores de uma escola da comunidade local solicitaram o apoio dos médicos e enfermeiros da clínica da ONG para a promoção da saúde em duas turmas de adolescentes. Objetivo: Averiguar o nível de conhecimento de conceitos básicos de saúde sexual e reprodutiva (SSR) em duas turmas de adolescentes mediante a aplicação de um questionário; promover uma sessão de educação para a saúde orientada pelos resultados do questionário. Método: Aplicou-se um questionário anónimo constituído por 5 perguntas, desenhado pelos médicos e enfermeiros voluntários na clínica. Após a leitura das respostas pelos investigadores, conduziu-se uma sessão de educação para a saúde sobre SSR, com informação sobre os tópicos abordados no questionário (conceito de sexualidade, conhecimento sobre métodos anticoncepcionais, sua utilização e prevenção de infeções sexualmente transmissíveis). Realizou-se exemplificação da colocação do preservativo e esclarecimento de dúvidas. Para as sessões dividiram-se os alunos por género, a pedido dos professores. Resultados: A média de idades dos adolescentes foi de 14 anos (com idades compreendidas entre 12 e 17 anos), sendo que 61% eram do género feminino e 39% masculino. Verificou-se que 100% afirmaram nunca ter tido relações sexuais e 31% acreditavam que relações sexuais era o equivalente a “casamento”. Dois terços dos alunos conheciam o preservativo e a grande maioria (88%) não conhecia nenhum outro método anticoncepcional, além do preservativo. Apenas 7,7% dos alunos conheciam a pílula do dia seguinte e 3,8% conheciam a pílula anticoncepcional. Metade dos alunos identificaram o preservativo como o único método eficaz na prevenção de Infeções Sexualmente Transmissíveis e 11,5% acreditavam que o método do coito interrompido previne a transmissão destas infeções. Conclusões: A literacia em SSR é fortemente condicionada por aspetos culturais, pelo que médicos e enfermeiros têm um papel determinante ao dinamizar atividades de promoção da saúde neste âmbito. Para tal é importante envolver os professores e educadores, de forma a trabalhar em conformidade com os padrões socioculturais locais.

This article presents a festivity about which very little has been studied: the «Bugiada» and «Mouriscada» of Sobrado, also called St. John of Sobrado. It is a midsummer festivity which takes place in Northern Portugal (Valongo) on June 24th. Through a bibliographic review, which unifies, for the first time, a scattering of publications about this festivity, it will be possible to identify different paradigms of ethnological research. With a special focus on the 20th century, this mapping will be done through the eyes of foreign and Portuguese scholars who wrote about this cultural manifestation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este artigo trata do povo indígena Kiriri do Rio Verde que, em março de 2017, após sair de Muquém do São Francisco, oeste do estado da Bahia, região Nordeste do Brasil, ocupou uma terra no sul do estado de Minas Gerais, Sudeste do país. A terra ocupada possui 39 hectares e tem como seu proprietário legal o estado de Minas Gerais. A permanência dos Kiriri na área foi autorizada pelo seu verdadeiro dono, um antigo ancestral tapuia que apareceu durante a ciência, momento em que há uma comunicação, como veremos, mais direta e intencional com os encantados, seres outros-que-humanos que habitam o cosmos kiriri. Diferentemente do toré, brincadeira em que ocorre o compartilhamento de comida entre os humanos e os encantados, e em que os cantos são mais fracos para que esses seres outros-que-humanos não se manifestem, na ciência kiriri, os cantos são mais fortes para fazer com que os mestres encostem em pessoas que possuem o dom. Apesar de a ocupação ser legitimada pelo velho tapuia, os Kiriri reconhecem que também precisam negociar com o estado de Minas Gerais, o proprietário legal da área, para conseguirem a regularização da terra. Nesse contexto, este artigo tem como objetivo compreender como os Kiriri criam evidências que a ocupação feita por eles, a partir da atuação conjunta aos encantados, é legitimada pelo verdadeiro dono da terra e como o comunicam ao estado de Minas Gerais. Para olhar para as negociações entre os Kiriri e o estado de Minas Gerais, deve-se reconhecer e analisar a ampla rede de atuação de agentes humanos e outros-que-humanos e, para compreendê-la melhor, propomos atentar também à ciência kiriri. Assim, este artigo esboça questões que tangem ao que podemos chamar de “teoria política kiriri”, evidenciando como as relações diplomáticas de troca e negociação podem ser constituídas no mundo.

Resumo A partir de uma pesquisa sobre os padrões epidemiológicos de leishmaniose tegumentar americana na Terra Indígena Wajãpi (AP), tomo como ponto de partida as perspectivas de alguns Wajãpi e de cientistas para explorar aspectos das ontologias em disputas nesse contexto. Oscilando entre os diferentes sujeitos dessa pesquisa, pretendo refletir e descrever como cada um deles compreende questões comuns como: a matabilidade de alguns seres, as relações com diferentes níveis de alteridade e as perspectivas das relações interespecíficas.

The academic center of ethnological research in Cieszyn has a clearly defined profile, which distinguishes it from other centers of this kind in Poland. Its specificity results primarily from the research interests of the staff, which focus on the issues of cultural and ethnic borderlands and on contemporary socio-cultural transformations, including the role of tradition in the life of postmodern communities. The rich and multifaceted achievements over the past twenty-five years of the center’s operation can be seen as an obligation on the part of the researchers encouraging them to make further consistent efforts to consolidate its position on the map of ethnological studies in Poland, to make their research more effective, and to enhance and broaden international cooperation. A materialization of the idea of creating a permanent ethnological research institution in Silesia, the center plays an important and admittedly unique role in integrating research on cultural phenomena and processes in Central Europe.

Pojęcie ‘Algierii francuskiej’ pojawiło się w dyskursie politycznym i naukowym w połowie XX wieku, jako negacja prób podważenia dominacji francuskiej w tym kraju. Niniejsze studium podejmuje analizę postaw francuskich etnologów w sytuacji konfliktu, jaki wybuchł w połowie XX w. w formalnie integralnej części Republiki Francuskiej. Analiza odwołuje się do takich koncepcji teoretycznych, jak „sytuacja kolonialna” (G. Balandiera) oraz autorskiej koncepcji „sytuacji badawczej”, w ramach której wyróżnić można takie zmienne jak: warunki (polityczne, społeczne itp.) w jakich ma miejsce spotkanie antropologa z przedmiotem jego badań (exterium sytuacji badawczej) oraz formacja zawodowa etnologa i jego doświadczenie życiowe (interium sytuacji badawczej). Analizę ilustrują trzy sylwetki etnologów francuskich skonfrontowanych z tzw. „wojną algierską”: J. Serviera, G. Tillion oraz J. Soustelle. Abstract The concept of ‘French Algeria’ appeared in the political and scientific discourse in the mid-twentieth century as a negation of attempts to undermine French domination in this country. This study examines the attitudes of French ethnologists in a conflict that broke out in the mid-twentieth century in the formally integral part of the French Republic. The analysis refers to such theoretical concepts as the “colonial situation” (G. Balandier) and the original concept of the “research situation”, under which one can distinguish such variables as: conditions (political, social, etc.) in which the anthropologist meets with the subject of his research (exterium of the research situation) and the professional formation of an ethnologist and his life experience (interium of the research situation). The analysis is illustrated by three profiles of French ethnologists confronted with the so-called The “Algerian War”: Servier, Tillion and Soustelle.

O recente livro do antropólogo Piero Leirner se dedica à análise do fenômeno das guerras híbridas, tendo como princípio a desnaturalização da ideia do Estado como máquina de domesticação da guerra. No livro o autor demonstra como as batalhas invadem o campo da política, não por ser uma anomalia desta, mas por estarem umbilicalmente atreladas. A partir disto, o etnólogo, pioneiro no estudo de campo entre militares, investiga como a participação das Forças Armadas nos bastidores na política brasileira, seria a causa e não a consequência da supracitada “polarização” política do presente.

Artykuł opisuje debatę polskich uczonych na temat celów i zakresu badań antropologii. Wpływ na jej przebieg i rozbieżność konkluzji miało szereg czynników. Druga połowa XIX wieku to okres początkowy w kształtowaniu się tej dyscypliny badawczej. Pierwsi antropolodzy byli lekarzami, dlatego też podnoszono znaczenie badań nad fizycznością człowieka jako gatunku i jego podziałem na rasy. Jednocześnie jednak widziano potrzebę łącznego ujmowania związków biologii z ludzką kulturą i z życiem społecznym. Temu służyć miały nauki uznawane za pomocnicze wobec antropologii fizycznej: historia, etnografia, etnologia, socjologia, językoznawstwo i archeologia. Recepcja nauki zachodniej nie przynosiła gotowych wzorców. Na jej gruncie funkcjonowało bowiem jednocześnie wiele ujęć ukształtowanych przez niezależne od siebie narodowe tradycje. Ponadto rozdział nauk o człowieku na odrębne dyscypliny jeszcze się nie dokonał. Stąd też spotykamy synonimiczność terminów takich jak antropologia, etnologia i etnografia. Polskie piśmiennictwo naukowe i popularnonaukowe, stanowiące podstawę źródłową niniejszego artykułu, odegrało znaczącą rolę w pogłębieniu dyskursu wokół kształtujących się nauk o człowieku. Wprowadziło problematykę antropologiczną i zainteresowało nią szeroki krąg czytelników. Bez samodzielnych badań oraz recepcji nauki obcej, dokonujących się w dobie zaborów, nie byłby możliwy rozwój nauk o człowieku po 1918 roku w wolnej Rzeczypospolitej.

Este artículo analiza los dilemas epistemológicos que plantea el despliegue de un enfoque etnográfico, desde una perspectiva postestructuralista, en la investigación con niñas/os. Se realiza un análisis bibliográfico sobre etnografía escolar y sobre etnografía visual a partir de 70 publicaciones académicas (1957-2020). Los hallazgos de la investigación destacan: una genealogía de las etnografías escolares (1) y una tipología de las etnografías visuales (2). Estos elementos se articulan en torno a un análisis epistemológico sobre las relaciones entre quien investiga y quien es sujeto u objeto de conocimiento.

Esaminando i diversi modi in cui Pavese e Calvino si rapportano a temi di comune interesse – il tema del primitivo, le narrazioni delle origini, la gestione affettiva del nesso fusione/distanza nei rapporti umani –l'articolo mostra come i due scrittori si siano confrontati intuitivamente con questioni relative allo sviluppo e al funzionamento mentale concettualizzate da psicoanalisti di molto successivi a Freud e a loro non noti (Racamier, Bion e Klein in particolare). Un serrato confronto testuale mostrerà inoltre come Calvino abbia continuato a interrogarsi per decenni circa le ragioni del suicidio di Pavese, implicitamente addebitandole a problemi relativi a una funzione fondamentale della psiche: quel dispositivo che Racamier avrebbe poi chiamato «lutto originario».

The academic center of ethnological research in Cieszyn has a clearly defined profile, which distinguishes it from other centers of this kind in Poland. Its specificity results primarily from the research interests of the staff, which focus on the issues of cultural and ethnic borderlands and on contemporary socio-cultural transformations, including the role of tradition in the life of postmodern communities. The rich and multifaceted achievements over the past twenty-five years of the center’s operation can be seen as an obligation on the part of the researchers encouraging them to make further consistent efforts to consolidate its position on the map of ethnological studies in Poland, to make their research more effective, and to enhance and broaden international cooperation. A materialization of the idea of creating a permanent ethnological research institution in Silesia, the center plays an important and admittedly unique role in integrating research on cultural phenomena and processes in Central Europe.
