History of anthropology in Poland from the researchers’ point of view Abstract he text concerns the author’s project “Ethnography as a personal experience. Generational trans- formations in methodology and research practices”. It reveals a problematic, and partly unstable character of the strategy of constructing the identity of an anthropologist professional group. In the author’s opinion a Polish young anthropologist shows a disruption of knowledge transmission between generations as well as a discontinuity in the Polish ethnology tradition. As a result, there is a tendency in not only borrowing the theory and authority from the tradition of foreign national an- thropologies, but also an uncritical transfer of discursive forms, authorizing national anthropology. In his opinion it is the most important question about contemporary shape of national anthropolo- gies, especially Polish ethnology.

Generational transforma- tions in methodology and research practices” (2011−2013) inanced by Polish National Science Centre (NCN) 1 , which I am conducting. he mentioned topic is devoted to the history of transformations in this discipline and the process development of methodological relective.
