Abstrakt

The aim of the essay is to discuss Kamil Pietrowiak’s work Świat po omacku. Etnograficzne studium (nie)widzenia i (nie)sprawności (2019) [The World by Feel: An Ethnographic Study of (Not) Seeing and (Dis)Ability]. In his book, Pietrowiak introduces and explains the cognitive limitations of blind people and social perceptions of blindness itself, which shape everyday life for people in this group. Pietrowiak’s analyses and reflections are based on the results of ethnographic research (collaborative ethnography) conducted among the blind, their family members and friends, and the employees of institutions and organizations working on their behalf. The author of the essay believes that Pietrowiak’s approach is innovative and that he has made a valuable contribution to the subject, especially in consideration of the general level of scholarly and popular knowledge of disabilities.
