Bronislaw Malinowski

    7 avril 1884 – 16 mai 1942

    Bronisław Malinowski était un anthropologue polonais dont le travail pionnier sur le terrain ethnographique a profondément façonné l'étude de la Mélanésie et de la réciprocité. Son approche du travail de terrain, mettant l'accent sur l'immersion profonde au sein d'une culture, est devenue une pierre angulaire de l'anthropologie moderne. Les méthodes innovantes de Malinowski et son souci de comprendre les sociétés de l'intérieur ont redéfini la discipline. Ses vastes contributions continuent d'éclairer notre compréhension des relations humaines et des dynamiques culturelles.

      Malinowského kniha je dokumentem doby, v níž vznikla. Mnoho témat ještě bylo tabuizováno, řada tvrzení v ní byla pozdějším vývojem v antropologii i psychologii modifikována. Přesto zůstává Malinowského pojednání o sexu a jeho potlačování jak v divošské tak v civilizované společnosti neobyčejně poučným čtením a o užitečnosti vydání českého překladu nemůže být pochyb. Právě pro tento systematický výklad v porovnávacím duchu, kdy i moderní společnost je citlivě členěna do stavů zámožných a vzdělaných a do vrstev pracujících v zemědělství a průmyslu, je Malinowského kniha přitažlivá pro antropology i pro jakéhokoli čtenáře, který se nebojí být srovnáván s divochy. Je napsána přístupným jazykem, který si nezadá s nejlepšími populárně poučnými díly a přitom neztrácí na své profesionální vědecké úrovni.

      When it was first published (in 1967, posthumously), Bronislaw Malinowski's diary, covering the period of his fieldwork in 1914-1915 and 1917-1918 in New Guinea and the Trobriand Islands, set off a storm of controversy. Many anthropologists felt that the publication of the diary—which Raymond Firth describes as "this revealing, egocentric, obsessional document"—was a profound disservice to the memory of one of the giant figures in the history of anthropology. Almost certainly never intended to be published, Malinowski's diary was intensely personal and brutally honest. He kept it, he said, "as a means of self-analysis." Reviews ranged from "it is to the discredit of all concerned that the diary has now been committed to print" to "fascinating reading." Twenty years have passed, and Raymond Firth suggests that the book has moved over to a more central place in the literature of anthropological reflection. In 1967, Clifford Geertz felt that the "gross, tiresome" diary revealed Malinowski as "a crabbed, self-preoccupied, hypochondriacal narcissist, whose fellow-feeling for the people he lived with was limited in the extreme." But in 1988, Geertz referred to the diary as a "backstage masterpiece of anthropology, our The Double Helix." Similarly in 1987, James Clifford called it "a crucial document for the history of anthropology."
