Summary/Abstract: This text results from an autoethnographic stage of the project “Social Circulation ofKnowledge in the Humanities” (2020/37/B/HS2/00955). The main problem detectedby the author is the lack of engagement in non-academic circulation. Although it is anindividual problem, the causes are both individual and systemic. The author indicatestemporal, financial, and biographical determinants. The overall conclusion is that theacademic career path and doctoral studies promote abandoning the non-academicsocial circulation of knowledge. The author analyzes a five-year-long journal of doctoralstudies, documents regulating doctoral studies, personal experiences, and biographiesof the author and others. The text addresses a number of specific issues: reporting,scopusosis, workload, emotional labor, dissonance between career and own values andbeliefs, distancing as a protective strategy, and the circulation of knowledge versus thecirculation of power.
