Summary/Abstract: In the context of evaluative questioning of theoretical and methodological range of 20th – century anthropology, this study aims to formalize the aspects of postmodern anthropology that have lasting methodological significance. With this aim, the author reduces the general disciplinary debate on the status and relevance of postmodern anthropology, that was relived at the beginning of the Millennium, to the questions on the range of postmodern theory of ethnography. The fundamental contexts of its genesis and implications for contemporary research, both disciplinary and interdisciplinary, are analyzed.
