ANTHROPOLOGY AND LITERATURE AN ESSAY FOR AN ANTHROPOETCICS

Summary/Abstract: Anthropology holds very special relations of good understanding with Poiesis, which means with Literature or Literary writings. Recognition of status of each of them does not make any trouble in researching and finding fibres of their connections. If we express it figuratively, literature has become a special aesthetic sense of perception of the world; the sense of ontos and the world under, up, around, beyond, of Water, Fire, Earth and Air, in its way, for pleasure and cognition (acquaintance). Essential motives and requirements of men in their life have also become aesthetic, literary requirements: human, humanity and divinity/supernatural (unearthly) (irrationality). Sense of life relies on its being at the same time Poetry only. Hence Anthropology has to do with Literature as well and it could afford its absence there where aesthetic of Literature is raised in special fields only. Thus, the very phenomenology of Poiesis has become anthropo-logic and phenomenological object. In reality, studies between anthropology and literature have been oriented mainly in detecting and interpretation of ethnography in Letters (Literature). It has been increased considerably the interest for types of connections of both these fields, with special interest in anthropological character of letters, in general, probably because an-thropology has become the most typical field of human studies which links the physical with the spiritual of human beings. Usually, a transcendence of fields and sensibilities that the anthropology makes does not make any of other sciences and Poiesis feels to be at its own home there. Some of the connections with human perceptions, passionate and sensual, rational and imaginative, connection between Anthropology and Letters (Literature) comes firstly from the angle of connection with oral culture and afterwards with written culture. To remember, only folk-tale as a point that links the most remote geographical dimensions of oral and written communities through the-mes, ideas and forms. Symbolism of the folk-tale remains the most powerful reflection of language as symbolism. More than conscientious symbolism, the language of the folk-tale often manages to articulate openly aesthetic and no aesthetic intention of human being.[...]
