Kilka uwag na temat antropologii literatury we Włoszech : O propozycji Fabia Dei

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present an Italian trend of the anthropology of literature represented by Fabio Dei (as well as other scholars, such as Pietro Clemente, Zelda Alice Franceschi, and Valerio Petrarca). Fabio Dei, an anthropologist of culture, analyses complex ties between anthropology and literature. First of all, he understands literature as a source of the study of culture. Also, he discusses the idea of anthropological writing (including the literary character of field research accounts). He refers his reflections on anthropology and literature in Italy to the development of Italian ethnography, folklore studies and philology.
