The Doubling of Shadow. Notes from an Ethnography of Life

Journal Title: Nauki o wychowaniu. Studia interdyscyplinarne - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 4

Abstract

The paper is an attempt to present the idea of an ethnography of life understood as a formative narrative on the shaping of one’s identity diachronically as well as from the perspective of key metaphors penetrating the trajectory of the whole life. Ethnography of life is a kind of intellectual and emotional vivisection, a reflexive autotherapy which highlights the different contexts and crucial moments that shape what we often call a scientific biography. The key metaphor of this story is “the doubling of shadow” – the passing of the loved ones, and life in the shadow of the postwar reality of the People’s Republic of Poland.
