DRAMATIS PERSONAE

INTRODUZIONE ALL’ANTROPOLOGIA LETTERARIA

Emilio Renzi

In the development of Cultural Anthropology and Philosophical Anthropology and in general of the episteme of man there are not only scientific sources, neurophysiological acquisitions for vital that they are. An Anthropology that we will call Literary can exist and do its tests because it adopts and develops literary and artistic sources in comparison with ethnographic acquisitions on the one hand, with the current philosophy of mind on the other. The essay allows the interaction of some text with each other: I riti di passaggio by Arnold Van Gennep, the figure of “Personaggio-Uomo” by Giacomo De Benedetti, Il giovane Törless by Robert Musil and La linea d’ombra by Joseph Conrad
