In the second half of the 20th century,postmodernism deconstructed the "grand theory" and the "scientific rationality" cognitive theory on the level of "meta-narrative".Anthropology,which has always been billed as "the science of culture",was rapidly subverted and deconstructed under the trend of postmodern deconstruction,and the development of anthropology encountered an unprecedented subject crisis.In 1986,American anthropologist James Clifford and George e.marcus co-edited writing culture: Ethnography poetics and political science book publishing,become "anthropology thought watershed",so as to resolve the crisis of anthropology writing,direct the anthropology "expression of the crisis" to the rhetoric and narrative strategy of writing ethnography,the breach of the "expression" to literary level,the use of literature in the form of a "writing culture",and successively put forward the "ethnography poetics" and "anthropology poetics" concept,to fall into the classical ethnography of postmodern expression of crisis and experimental ethnography writing found a new way of writing ethnography and from turned to the question of "what to write" the ultimate a "how to write" rhetoric and narrative.With the rise of new theories such as new historicism,post-colonialism and interpretive anthropology,the writing of literary anthropology presents a multi-dimensional writing paradigm.Since the 1990 s,domestic writers have reached out to the marginal and minority ethnic cultures by deconstructing the orthodox view of history.The decline of the spirit of industrial civilization in the post-modern context has raised the banner of reminiscence of "primitivism" and corrected the paradox of narrow civilization and primitivism.Led by the paradigm of cultural relativism and the explanatory anthropology of gertz,the interpretation of "local knowledge" emerged.The self-conscious cultural writing of domestic writers is to cope with the self-consciousness and awakening of local culture under the tide of cultural globalization,and to avoid the cultural homogenization brought by "globalization".Turning to the interior of cultural tradition and the depth of "local knowledge",the writer constructs the particularity of culture and the difference of human nature with the relative Angle of view.Reflections on the cultural particularity makes us see literature in the expressionof the cultural meaning of literary anthropology to "literature" are beyond the scholastic discipline system,the living condition of literature,multi-racial interaction of literature and oral literature,so the incoming western literature is necessary in our country based on the foundations of the local words "disenchantment" at a time,make the literature to return to the native literary context,become a good agent for native healing spirit,so as to realize the human ultimate concern,get rid of the western literature of the "person" under the rational structure of subjectivity.In addition to expanding the field of literary criticism and relieving the expression crisis of anthropology,literary anthropology has found the real "people" in the combination of literature and anthropology in the most important sense,which is also the inevitable way for modern humanities.
