Bronisław Kasper Malinowski

    April 7, 1884 – May 16, 1942

    Bronisław Malinowski was a Polish anthropologist whose pioneering work in ethnographic fieldwork profoundly shaped the study of Melanesia and reciprocity. His approach to fieldwork, emphasizing deep immersion within a culture, became a cornerstone of modern anthropology. Malinowski's innovative methods and focus on understanding societies from the inside out redefined the discipline. His extensive contributions continue to inform our understanding of human relationships and cultural dynamics.
