Minor Epic: Reflections on Displacement, World-Making, and the Possibility of a Different Anthropoetry

Anthropologists who have turned to poetry have often claimed to do so as a means of accessing emotional registers of which conventional academic prose is unable to avail. In other words, poetry is tacitly conflated with lyric poetry, today probably the most widely practiced poetic genre, and one associated in particular with the expression of inner feelings and subjectival states.
