| description | To the contemporary reader, the world re-created by this pioneer of High Modernism bridges
references from such different cultural spheres, that Poundian discourse as a whole confuses and
defies interpretation. The anthropology of culture has brought forth a concept which reaches beyond
the pure meaning of the discourse; by analysing together various references, from the cultural
background to the intentionality of the writing and, further on, to the influence which the published
texts are responsible for: the concept of culture transformation. To apply this to Poundian criticism,
one must neglect neither the biographical nor the political or literary contexts, and develop a special
interest in the efforts made for a shift in perspective to take place. Such changes, resulting from a
cultural patching and comparing, will be the object of this paper and of subsequent research.
