Polish term or phrase: nikiforyzm
Według SJP jest to «zajmowanie się jakąś dziedziną bez przygotowania zawodowego».
Nikifor był malarzem krynickim (chyba o niego chodzi w tym terminie), prymitywistą - nasza polska wersja kanadyjskiej Maud Lewis ...
Tylko czy jak przetłumaczę nykiforism lub nikiforism to angojęzyczna osoba będzie wiedzieć o co chodzi?
Artykuł będzie publikowany w czasopiśmie nt teorii muzyki, a termin "nikiforyzm" używany jest w tym artykule przez krytyków muzycznych (obok słowa "aberracja") by okreslić III Symfonię Góreckiego (zanim odniosła ona sukces).

autodidacticism/autodidactism


Explanation:
Autodidacticism (also autodidactism) is self-education or self-directed learning. An autodidact, also known as an automath, is a mostly self-taught person — typically someone who has an enthusiasm for self-education and a high degree of self-motivation.
