Ku laboratorium humanistycznemu
Towards a Humanistic Laboratory

Summary/Abstract: This article is an attempt to think about the ‘laboratization’ of the humanities on the metalevel. Building on Bruno Latour’s essay ‘Give Me a Laboratory and I Will Move the World,’ the authors explore if and how the laboratory can renew the humanities. They differentiate between the laboratory in the humanities and the humanistic laboratory and present an archaeology of the humanistic laboratory (Charles Peirce, Aby Warburg, Claude Lévi-Strauss). Considering the possibilities of teamwork in the humanities, they conclude that this is the least well researched subject, proposing the concept of ‘teamthinking’ as the most important expression of laboratory teamwork. Finally, the authors suggest that the laboratory can be a locus of resistance in the university system or within individual institutions in times of crisis.
