O zastosowaniu elementów etnografii przedtekstowej w badaniu instytucji opieki medycznej

n the article I explore the concept of “pre-textual” ethnography. While seeking possibilities for its application, I analyse potential limitations of the latter. I use my own research experiences form Zdrój and Podstawowa Opieka Zdrowotna (POZ, Basic Healthcare). I consider these projects as embedded in two contrasting methodological traditions spanned between post-semiotic analyses and phenomenologically influenced anthropology. I argue, that the choice of methodological orientation should be preceded by careful analyses of the fieldwork characteristics. I consider this scrutiny as reflexive, magnifying and open for various stimulius coming to researcher from the investigated word, and thus, as a main pretextual tool in current anthropology.
