Travel Anthropology in the Literary Reportages

Abstract

This article explores the relationship between travel anthropology and the genre of literary re-portage. We scrutinized the theoretical foundations and genesis of travel anthropology, outlined itsbasic principles, and explored its connections to other disciplines. We also examined the phenom-enon of literary reportage, its peculiarities, and principles both at the level of thematization and thelevel of narrative and compositional structure. According to our research, the methods of travel an-thropology used by contemporary authors include fieldwork, participant observation, in-depth inter-views, and detail fixation.
