The article takes a parochial academic anniversary in Britain as an occasion to reflect on ensuing changes of paradigm in social anthropology, notably the rejection of evolutionism and the neglect of history that accompanied the,fieldwork revolution' led by Bronislaw Malinowski. In the light of this discussion it is argued that the ,anthropology of postsocialism' of recent years should not content itself with ethnographic studies of transformation but would benefit from engaging more seriously with multiple layers of history as well as with adjacent social sciences. It is further argued that social and cultural anthropologists should form a common scholarly community with the ,national ethnographers', since these two styles of enquiry complement each other; but such integrated communities remain rare, in Britain no less than in east-central Europe.
The aim of the paper is to investigate, from the point of view of philosophy of science and philosophy of social science, the turn in the ape language project as accomplished in the works of Sue Savage- Rumbaugh and her collaborators. In this project took place a highly interesting turn from the orientation of research on natural sciences to that on humanities. We shall analyze all the relevant works of Savage-Rumbaugh from the point of view of the two central levels of ALP: its scientific level and the methodological level., Cílem příspěvku je z hlediska filosofie vědy a filosofie společenských věd zkoumat obrat v projektu lidoopského jazyka, který byl realizován v dílech Sue Savage-Rumbaugh a jejích spolupracovníků. V tomto projektu se odehrál velmi zajímavý obrat od orientace výzkumu přírodních věd na humanitní vědy. Budeme analyzovat všechna relevantní díla Savage-Rumbaugh z hlediska dvou ústředních úrovní ALP: jeho vědecké úrovně a metodické úrovně., and Igor Hanzel
