Thoughts on the research in Gdańsk Shipyard The article deliberates on the role of engaged anthropology in the context of an artistic critique, that concerns socially constructed myths about the „Solidarność” social movement. The text also takes up a subject of how betrayed the employees of the liquidated Gdańsk Shipyard feel, especially by Lech Wałęsa, as a symbolic figure. And to this particular issue an artistic statement has been placed as a sort of a comment and social diagnosis.
