THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL GLANCE AT WRITING
Abstract
In the article the development of writing research in the Anthropology of Writing in France and (New) Literacy Studies in English-speaking regions are explored, highlighting their historical isolation. It emphasizes writing's transformative role in contemporary communication and social identity. Various scholarly approaches are reviewed, demonstrating writing as a cultural practice. The article contrasts the diverse themes of francophone research with anglophone perspectives and advocates for a broader anthropological view that includes both ordinary and vernacular texts.
