From the nineteenth century onward, there have been gaps between travel writing and anthropological sciences, but also commonalities and continuous interactions in the anglophone world. Through a variety of case studies resulting from a collaboration between anthropologists and literary scholars, Anthropology and Travel Writing follows the shift from armchair speculation to sustained fieldwork, from the picturesque to analytic thick description and from colonial typologies to Indigenous counter-readings. Attentive to the notions of authority, validity, identity and reflexivity, this volume explores how alterity is scrutinized and staged, delineating the aesthetic, analytic and ethical stakes of representation.
