Summary/Abstract: A review of the book Ritual Sources of the Theater by Włodzimierz Szturc (PWST Publishers, 2013). Ratajczakowa notes that the researcher approaches the titular issue from less an anthropological perspective than a phenomenological one, which is a novelty in theater studies. The reviewer stresses the profundity of Szturc's observations, calling to life a new branch of study – an archeology of the humanities, researching the imagination of its depiction, rooted in ancient meanings, images, and processes, and pertaining to archetypes which decide upon the continuity of the human species.
