W imię zmarłych: humanistyka forensycznej wrażliwości i publicznej prawdomówności
In the Name of the Dead: Forensic Sensitivity and Public Truthfulness in the Humanities

Summary/Abstract: Is it possible to bring the humanities into the public sphere in a critical way but without engaging in the practices of the public, participative and relational humanities? Looking for examples of such an advanced practice (which would effectively involve the community, being socially useful and at the same time socially critical), we might turn to projects in the fields that emerged with the forensic turn, where the humanities integrate artistic practices, involve new technologies, and critically combine material, hermeneutical and theoretical analysis. Sendyka also strongly emphasizes returning to the sources of the discipline. She demands that the humanities embrace a social orientation: a primary gesture is the reference to the concept of the ancient forum as a space of debate and open and collective thinking.
