Antropologiczny przegląd samolotu
An Anthropological Servicing of an Airplane

Summary/Abstract: With the help of anthropological categories and tools I shall “take apart” an airplane so as to put it together again and view it as a key for comprehending global processes of the contemporary world: the role of innovation, invention, and technology in the cultural activity of man, as well as its impetus and influence upon life within a daily, local, global, etc., dimension. I wish to show the airplane as a site, a flying modern museum, a space of free thought and invention seen as the arch-human attribute of man. The airplane and the airfield will be treated as links in the evolution of widely understood communication brimming with borrowings, interferences, and inventions.
