Writing a life out. An ethnographic meeting with Waleria Prochownik – a writer from Sporysz district of Żywiec / Wypisywanie życia. Etnograficzne spotkanie z Walerią Prochownik – pisarką z żywieckiego Sporysza

Abstract

“What is writing to Waleria Prochownik?” was the leading question for hours of conversation between me and the writer from Żywiec. The following paper is the outcome of our struggle to confront the writer’s views and feelings with thoughts of philosophers, historians, ethnologists, and writers I selected about the nature of writing. It is also an attempt to reflect on mutual understanding, following the main assumptions of collaborative ethnography inspired by methodological conceptions of Luke Eric Lassiter and reflections of Anna Wyka about social research through shared experience. The paper is the result of my field research in Żywiec carried out in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Biogram autora
