Antropologia i literatura – „dziwny romans”. Zwroty i przemiany
The article focuses on transformations in the anthropology of literature that haveoccurred over the past decades and on the connections between anthropology andliterature. These are examined in terms of turns – with particular emphasis on Polishgender studies – as well as transformations: from constructivist assumptions throughnew ontology and epistemology to the redefinition of the subject and the links betweenanthropology and post-anthropocentric tendencies. The article highlights how the sharedproblematization of the foundations of anthropology (panfictionality) and literature(metafiction) – important a few decades ago and often called the literaturization ofanthropology or anthropologization of literature – is becoming obsolete in favorof parallel activities: indicating the agency, symbiosis, and non-obvious character of thesubject and the beings that coexist with it, which is noticed by both cultural anthropologyand literature.
