Abstract:
For the last few years of his life, Piotr Kowalski returned to the city where a few decades earlier he studyed Polish philology and worked as a professor at The Institute of Journalism and Social Communication at the University of Wrocław. During his time in Wrocław, he wrote a very inspiring article named „Reflections on the anthropology of media". One of the main ideas was that historical anthropology is a background for the anthropology of media, which should be concentrated on cultural imaginarium ways of communications. In the article, we present how his ideas are being developed by us in our work entitled „scenario of culture" which was inspired by this researcher.
