The volume to be published in 2025, entitled BIOGRAPHY WRITING IN ANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE, will be devoted to biography writing in anthropological perspective. We offer the pages of our journal for a discussion of the concepts, methods and problems accompanying the practice of biography writing and for a reflection on the need for biographical research. The need for this type of research (including the analysis of the achievements of the representatives of the discipline) emerges as a key element in tracing the history of anthropological thought. However, the cognitive aspect is not the only reason why the profiles and achievements of researchers and theorists ought to be popularised; biographies also have the power to shape and strengthen the environmental identity of a particular group of scholars.

The volume’s thematic editor: dr Katarzyna Ceklarz (Polish Folk Society / Academy of Applied Sciences in Nowy Targ).

The deadline for submissions is 31 December 2024.
