Abstract

This article is based on research conducted in rural areas of the Polish Jurassic Highland by first-year ethnology and cultural anthropology students as part of their first field exercises. One of their tasks was to keep fieldnotes, which provided an insight into the young anthropologists’ experiences. Based on an analysis of these notes, I decided to inscribe the process of becoming an anthropologist into the pattern of the rite of passage according to the model proposed by Arnold van Gennep. The purpose of the article is to analyze and interpret the students’ notes and present the point of view of a young researcher – including myself, the author of this article, who participated in this research – on the Polish countryside and the role of the field in the “anthropological initiation.” Making fieldnotes is not only a technique or method of producing anthropological knowledge, but also a source of information about the researcher’s inner experiences during their professional initiation. The article investigates how the specificity of the rural areas of the Polish Jurassic Highland (as the first research field) influenced the process of the symbolic transformation of a student into an anthropologist.

在波兰侏罗纪高原农村地区进行人种学研究的田野笔记,记录成为人类学家的过程
本文基于一年级民族学和文化人类学学生在波兰侏罗纪高地农村地区进行的研究,这是他们第一次实地练习的一部分。他们的任务之一是做实地记录,这为了解年轻人类学家的经历提供了一个视角。基于对这些笔记的分析,我决定根据Arnold van Gennep提出的模型,将成为人类学家的过程铭刻到成人仪式的模式中。这篇文章的目的是分析和解释学生的笔记,并提出一个年轻研究者的观点——包括我自己,这篇文章的作者,我参与了这项研究——关于波兰农村和该领域在“人类学启蒙”中的作用。田野笔记不仅是产生人类学知识的一种技术或方法,而且是研究人员在其职业启蒙过程中有关其内心体验的信息来源。本文考察了波兰侏罗纪高地农村地区(作为第一个研究领域)的特殊性如何影响了学生向人类学家的象征性转变过程。
