Abstrakt

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest podsumowanie procesu, w którym ukształtowała się twórcza etnografia – akademicka odmiana literatury faktu, wykorzystująca techniki zaczerpnięte z literatury pięknej. Debata wokół „kultury pisania” dała początek eksperymentom w pisarstwie etnograficznym, otwarciu na narrację, docenieniu poetyki antropologicznej, rozwojowi autoetnograficznych form ekspresji, ponownemu przemyśleniu kategorii fikcji oraz nowemu rozumieniu relacji między badaniami terenowymi a pracą nad tekstem. Autor podkreśla zarówno korzyści, jak i zagrożenia związane z tymi procesami, sugerując, że brak uniwersyteckiego wykształcenia w zakresie twórczej etnografii często prowadzi do osobistych rozczarowań i stawia pytania o komfort tworzenia tekstu, zarówno w ujęciu zawodowym, jak i psychologicznym.
