Discovering the Sense of Taking Part

Summary/Abstract: ‘The sense of taking part’ – this formula (from Wisława Szymborska’s poem ‘Conversation With A Stone’, in Nothing Twice: Selected Poems, transl. by Stanisław Barańczak and Clare Cavanagh) constitutes Szymborska’s conceptual frame for her reflections on the main assumptions and goals of the new trend in anthropology and ethnography, namely ‘pretextual ethnography’. Nycz examines the consequences of broadening the subject of research to include the processes by which an organism interacts with its environment; he also examines the emergence of a methodology of learning through participation as well as the possibilities of outlining ethnographical knowledge produced as embodied knowledge.
