	This article discusses the evolution of the concept of borderland within social and cultural anthropology, highlighting the shift from classical studies of nation-states’ frontiers and ethnic groups’ interactions towards a postmodern understanding of borderlands as “ubiquitous” realms. In so doing, it reflects on the meaningfulness of the concept and interrogates its validity as an analytical tool. The author links the discussion of different theoretical approaches with her own research experience in the Polish “borderlands”, arguing both about some Poland-specific dilemmas inscribed into the borderland studies, as well as some wider issues, important for anthropology and humanities at large.
