Antropologia imperializmu
Anthropology of Imperialism

Summary/Abstract: The author of this essay dealing with The Captive Mind attempts to prove that Miłosz’s political treatise – as the Noble Prize laureate described it – can be perceived as a description of anthropological studies, within whose range their author dealt with phenomena and socio-cultural processes transpiring in Eastern Europe during the 1940s and 1950s. Miłosz-the anthropologist tried to understand and illustrate assorted ways in which people living in a reality defined by the imperial policy pursued by the USSR thought and acted. In the scientific-literary convention of an essay P.J. Fereński not only presented his viewpoint concerning The Captive Mind, but also took a closer look at its origin, contents, and author.
