The authoress attempts to differentiate the various ways in which the anthropology of literature and literary anthropology are understood in the humanities today. She surveys the various approaches to disciplines. She concentrates on presenting both concepts and showing the differences between them, reserving the term 'anthropology of literature' for the analysis of texts from a social anthropological perspective, and 'literary anthropology' for the texts based in philosophical anthropology.

The study interprets the detective novel by Zygmunt Miloszewski, Ziarno prawdy (2011), while focusing in the fashion in which the novel analyses the mechanism of anti-Semitism. A significant role in the culprit ś plotting of a fake ritual murder is played by a city with a collective memory, which inspired the modus operandi of the act, when the murder made use of the rooted anti-Semitism of the local community. The myth of the ritual murder in the anti- Semitic interpretation originates through the distortion of the original meaning of the cultural units, their incorrect condensation and the rearrangement of their functions to incorrect positions. In the solution this projection of the culprit onto an „Other“ is discovered to be false, revealing that the worst crimes occur out of hatred behind locked doors. Miloszewski sets these current issues into the genre structure of a classical detective story with the solution abiding by the principles of fair play, while the thriller denouement through a found document is proved to be false.

Research of arts and literature had moved from a striving for exact, structuralist handlings of its objects to observations of the world as mediated and experienced by humans. Research in aesthetics and literary studies not embedded in structuralism is often interdisciplinary in its nature and draws on a host of inspirations (anthropology, epistemology of imaginative processes, ontological transformations of existential meanings, etc.). The creative process and its product – the literary text – can be handled from various viewpoints. Traditionally, literary studies approached the text in terms of its structure, aesthetics, and poetics. Such observations do offer a systematic way in which the functioning and form of the literary work can be described; however, they are much less capable of grasping the ontological sources and origins of aesthetic experience. The latter are inherent to the engagement with an aesthetic object and as such need to be taken into account in the creation of knowledge and value of the literary work. Respecting the psychological subject of the writer and of communicative configurations of the literary text is crucial in this context. The article looks under the surface of textual structures and concentrates on imaginative processes in connection to the reception intention of the literary work.

This article attempts at replying to the question of how anthropology relates to literature. Elaborating on Wolfgang Iser's suggestions, the author states that literature has a single basic function to perform, and that is, to interpret the outside world by creating structures weakening its strangeness. What anthropology strives for, in turn, is to grasp the essence of human being through analysing its products or creatures. The shared area for both types of discourse is their being submerged in existence - understood as a linguistic element of self-understanding, an intermediate sphere between the naked life and conceptual knowledge.

The essay was published in a collection entitled 'Revenge of the Aesthetic. The Place of Literature in Theory Today' (ed. by M. P. Clark, University of California Press, Berkeley 2000). The author attempts at answering the title questions, assuming the issues of interpretation of culture, as a broad concept, as a starting point; following Geertz, he perceives culture as a constitutive element of the humankind, as opposed to a quality that emerged at a later stage, as an added value of a sort. This changed perspective renders the anthropological dimension of art - and, consequently, of literature - open and, consequently, makes the latter a model and an instrument for describing the mechanisms taking place between a human and his or her surrounding environment. Thus, literature becomes a sui generis founding myth of the mankind, and a method of alleviating tensions between the cultural centre and peripheral areas. The fictions mentioned in the title prove mutually complementary: the first one (explanatory) serves to set the chaos of our surrounding world in an order, whereas the second, or literary (discovery-related, searching) one, enables transgression beyond the sphere of mind and immediate perception, allowing for a rather painless confrontation with the incomprehensible and the inexpressible.

The article analyses consequences and benefits of the research perspective taken by literary anthropology which, as the authoress claims, should be perceived as a reformulation of literary studies rather than a narrowly conceived research method. The article discusses mutual relationships between literary studies and anthropology with the focus on the theories conceiving literature as the only available form of anthropology (Wolfgang Iser). The anthropological perspective in literary studies, the author claims, should be aimed at extracting literary anthropology from literature.

In the recent dozen-or-so years, the direction taken by changes in the literary studies has been extremely strongly stimulating a set of diversified tendencies which has become referred to (probably for good) as an anthropological-cultural turn. This article does not present a detailed panorama of those strivings (such a task has been taken up several times with success), but rather, an afterthought of opportunities and threats opened to or imposed on the literary theory (with its heritage, identity as a discipline and substantive obligations) as it enters into a strict relationship with the two disciplines proving most expansive in the humanities of today, i.e.: cultural anthropology, on the one hand, and cultural studies, on the other. The author argues that: (i) separateness of those inspirations has to be discerned; (ii) one should be aware of the consequences of the choices made: (a) practising anthropology of literature, one should take into account that its assumptions have to be subject to anthropology of culture as a meta-discipline of cultural sciences; (b) practising a cultural literary theory, one enters the route of never-ending interdisciplinary negotiations (primarily, with cultural studies) over remaining relatively autonomous and retaining identity as a discipline; (c) practising the poetics of experience, particularly one of a literary case study, one faces a risk of transdisciplinary studies that might lead to delineating a new configuration of disciplines in humanities and social sciences.

Tadeusz Grabowski (1871-1960), a Polish scholar and Romance philologist, professor of the University of Poznan, was a literary theoretician who promoted the anti-positivist breakthrough in Poland. His article 'Nowa nauka o literaturze' (The new literary science) (1935) was an underestimated interesting attempt at introducing a communicative and anthropological perspective in literary research. Grabowski was a patron of the 'Circle of Polish Scholars' which before the WW II carried out animated research activity. In 1935, the Circle organised a Convention of Circles of Polish Studies at which young scholars from Vilno (Vilnius), fascinated with the Russian formalism (M. Rzeuska, J. Putrament), discussed and held methodological disputes with adherents of the sociological method and Marxism (F. Siedlecki, S. Zolkiewski, D. Hopensztand).

ON LITERARY ANTHROPOLOGY WITH DUE CAUTION

Having surveyed diverse historical antecedents of literary anthropology, the author points out some distinct ways in which the term has been used, ie. (1) an anthropology which has some features of literariness; (2) general statements about man and human nature formulated in or implied by literary texts; (3) analyses of general statements about man and human nature that can be found in literary texts and analyses of literary devices which are then used to construct anthropological models (ie. anthropological poetics); (4) theory and history of the functions of literature in human life (anthropology of literature). The author notes that the knowledge about man and man's nature communicated in literature can be as often eye-opening and inspiring as banal and deformed. Given its incurable unreliability, it should always be put to the test of science, one's philosophical convictions or the readers' good sense derived from their experience.
