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 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.
