Sami swoi? Refleksje metodologiczne o antropologii u siebie / Among ourselves? Some methodological reflections about anthropology at home
Journal Title: Etnografia. Praktyki. Teorie. Doświadczenia / Ethnography. Practices, Theories, Experiences - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
The dichotomy between home and abroad, recently very popular in anthropology, but especially significant in the anthropology of Europe, assumes, in my opinion, an increase of Otherness in line with a geographic-political distance . The aim of my article is to demon- strate that the sense of Otherness is not dependent on territorialized culture but on mental as well as bodily dispositions of individuals . The relativity of the concept of Self/Other in the context of anthropology at home will be discussed based on fieldwork carried out by a Polish anthropologist among Polish Contemporary Slavic Pagans associated in the Order of Zadruga ‘Northern Wolf’ . For narrative and analytical purposes, the category ‘at home’ will be problematized by scaling and contextualizing the notion of Europeanness .
