This thesis examines several aspects of anthropological discipline. Anthropological science is a complex academic discipline that studies the most complex organism -man. Based on this, in the first part of the paper we observe the relation of geographical space and access to discipline. After that, the arguments and criticisms of Johannes Fabian are presented in his study “Time and the Other” which serves to argue his criticisms about the uses of time in anthropological discourse. This thesis contains a comparative form where below is a chapter on modern techniques used in Europe. This chapter presents modern methods that serve as qualitative approaches to research and the techniques of phenomenology, ground theory, affect theory and self-ethnography will be mentioned. Furthermore, during the harsh development of history, today's travel is accessible to everyone and accordingly literary travelogues become increasingly popular. Travelogues are often mentioned in anthropology. In correlation, the paper compares two modern travelogues that originated from the same time period but are written in very different styles. “Marco Polo's Isle” is a travelogue that includes traditional methods of anthropology whereas “Europeans in extinction” introduce some modern approaches. The author Karl Markus Gauss in his book has presented ethnic minorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy, Germany and Macedonia. The aim of this analysis is to observe anthropological elements in these travelogues, and to make a clear distinction between the two.
