Allochronism and Salvage Ethnography. Michael Donley in Korcula

U tekstu autorica analizira putopisni tekst Marco Polo’s Isle Michaela Donleya. Ustanovivši da se tekst nekim svojim karakteristikama nadaje kao paraetnografski, autorica poseže za konceptima spasiteljske etnografije, budući da Donleyev tekst nastoji tekstualno dokumentirati način života u nestajanju, te Fabianovim konceptom odricanja isto/su-vremenosti (engl. denial of coevalness), sažetoga u sljedećoj autorovoj misli: “Ne [iskrcavam se] u neku sivu, bezličnu luku, nego ravno u povijest“ (Donley 2005:14).The author analyzes the travel text by Michael Donley, Marco Polo’s Isle. Having established that certain characteristics make the text paraethnographic, the author reaches for the concepts of salvage ethnography, since Donley’s text attempts to textually document a vanishing way of life, and Fabian’s concept of denial of coevalness, subsumed in Donley’s thought: “Not [disembarking] into some grim, nondescript port, but straight into history” (Donley 2005:14)
