Whisky oraz smoking jako narzędzia etnografa i antropologa : Jan Czekanowski na służbie jego książęcej mości

Abstract

In 1907, a German scientific expedition was held to explore a fairly unknown region of Central Africa. It was also the first non-European expedition of Jan Czekanowski who served as an ethnographer and anthropologist. In my article I want to ponder upon the influences of the expedition on the Polish researcher and the ways in which it shaped his beliefs and research perspective. Another important topic for me is the problem of colonialism, clearly visible and taken note of by Czekanowski in his journals.
