Teoretyczne i metodologiczne podstawy archeologicznego dyskursu w Polsce. Zarys problematyki

Abstract

The aim of the article is the preliminary presentation of the methodological tradition and theoretical condition of Polish archaeology. I focus here on the standard practice of Polish archaeologists, showing that either they have developed by themselves, borrowed or adapted elements of theories. Archaeological publications will be the basis for the article. The article also points to the multifaceted inspiration flowing from the humanities, social and biological sciences towards archaeology. The role of methodological turns was emphasized: anti-positivist, textual, visual, and performative. As a result, archaeology reached out to them with great hope, looking for answers to troublesome questions concerning forms of social life and culture in the past. The article highlights the individual aspects of Polish archaeology, including the nonobvious influence of Marxism, and processual and post-processual thinking.
