Abstract
The disciplinary practice of literary anthropology is mainly reflected in the two directions of the anthropologicalization of literature and the literaryization of anthropology. In this process of transformation and integration, the expansion of the category of “text”, the sharing of the methodology of “field”, and the construction of “expression” have become the core discourse of literary anthropology. On this basis, the practical research of literature also provides a new ideological path for the theoretical development of literary anthropology.
