Expansion, Interruption, Autoethnography: Toward Disorienting Fiction, Part 2.

FICTION; MANGANARO, Marc; MODERN literature; ANTHROPOLOGY; LITERATURE

The article discusses disorienting fiction in the context of expansion, interruption and auto-ethnography. It states that author Marc Manganaro brought to attention the asynchrony between modernist literature and the outmoded Victorian comparativist anthropology. He says that literary modernizers of the 1910s and 1920s lagged in the consolidating academic discipline of anthropology. It extends the thesis of "Disorienting Fiction: The Autoethnographic Work of Nineteenth-Century British Novels."
