Abstract
This paper concerns ideological contexts of the competitions of memoirs while
regarded as a source of sociological data in Poland. I deal with this problem with
reference to the two episodes from history of this type of research. The first of
them led to 'New Generation of Peasants' by Józef Chałasiński in 1938. The
second yielded series of competitions on autobiographies from the early period
of People's Poland (1948-1956). I argue that ideologization of the topics and instructions
included in the competitions' announcements bears on substantial
methodological consequences. Without objecting validity of the Polish memoirs'
collections, I point out its limitations and analytical possibilities.
