About the book:
The book "Umykanie. Pomyślenia z etnografii życia" collects the texts of the recently deceased leading Polish anthropologist – Prof. Wojciech Burszt, which were prepared for publication, commented and narrated by his collaborator, Dr Marcin Kafar.
Prof. Dr hab. Dariusz Czaja from the Jagiellonian University wrote the following about the book:
The book is an important and necessary work in Polish humanities. Such a strong intertwining of "life and creativity" (and in the end: death) gives it a special dimension. Thanks to it, we learn (or remember) about an extremely important (not only in the Poznań anthropology environment) figure of Polish cultural anthropology, whose Wojciech J. Burszta will always remain an indelible part. Moreover, this book can be an invitation to write and edit non-obvious biographies of authors who pursued their work in a scientific idiom.
The publication is available on the website of the Lodz University Press.
The book has been published by the Lodz University Press. Its co-editor is the SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities.
