Abstract
Polish ethnology undergoes persistent transformation as a result of theoretical, methodological and epistemological influences from world anthropologies. While in theory it has substantially shifted towards the main stream socio-cultural anthropology, many Polish ethnologists still cultivate formalised methodological approaches developed in the first half of 20th century in Poland, symbolised by a survey. Ethnography understood as an endeavour to obtain an insight into a people’s culture, largely by means of long-lasting participant observation and deep hanging out still struggles for recognition as “scientific enough” while survey approach described in a formalised and quasi-quantitative way dominates students’ training and successful research grants applications. Such a situation highlights the rupture in the identities of Polish ethnographers who feel that discrimination of a participant observation by their own colleagues hinders their struggle to make anthropology an autonomous and publicly recognised discipline in Poland
