Summary/Abstract: The author indicates a writer’s and anthropological self-awareness that can beconstructed in opposition to the neoliberal management of humanities, namely againstrecommendations to “write a lot.” Therefore, the article presents ways of writing andforms of anthropological understanding that transgress these recommendationsand create a form of experimentation and knowledge development. The author writesabout the ethnography of more-than-human beings, about the experience built intheatrical works in Węgajty, and about the writing workshop of Bjorn Bertelsen in hisresearch in Mozambique. The main topics under scrutiny are literary experimentation, theparatheatrical aspect of anthropological knowledge, and reaching toward non-humanbeings. These allow the author to show that such writing is a legitimate perspective,allowing for a new subject for the humanities.
