About a “Kazakh” petroglyph and its “journey” in time and space. Reflection on social adaptation of the past
Abstract
Author of the paper discusses social implications of the choice of a prehistoric rock art
image as a graphic symbol of the Institute of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology of the Adam Mickiewicz
University. The essay is divided into two parts. The first one deals with implications which
result from using a petroglyph as a rock art image. In this matter the paper stresses interpretative context
of reading this petroglyph in terms of otherness, both on formal and epistemological levels. In the second
part the author considers implications which result from choosing this particular petroglyph, which
comes from Kazakhstan. Author demonstrates different social involvements of such a choice, which
however well define a nature of cultural anthropology as an academic discipline, which, by definition,
faces numerous epistemological and ethical dilemmas in its practice.
