Description

Discover Andre Leroi-Gourhan's groundbreaking contributions to twentieth-century anthropology and archaeology through this comprehensive selection of his most important texts, many translated into English for the first time. Published by University of Chicago Press, this collection bridges a critical gap in Anglophone scholarship by presenting the intellectual work of a figure whose influence in France rivals Claude Levi-Strauss himself. The anthology highlights Leroi-Gourhan's pioneering theory of technology and material culture, exploring how objects function within human experience and society. These writings, spanning from the 1930s to the 1970s, offer essential insights into the evolution of human thought and the relationship between culture and material world, making this volume indispensable for scholars, archaeologists, anthropologists, and anyone seeking to understand the foundations of modern social science thinking.

Key Features

Presents many of Andre Leroi-Gourhan's seminal texts translated into English for the first time, making his work accessible to Anglophone readers and scholars.

Covers Leroi-Gourhan's theory of technology and material culture, emphasising how objects and artefacts shape human experience and social organisation.

Spans seven decades of influential writing from the 1930s to 1970s, documenting the evolution of one of twentieth-century anthropology's most important thinkers.

Published by University of Chicago Press with contributions from the Bard Graduate Center, ensuring scholarly rigor and academic credibility.

Ideal for archaeology students, cultural historians, and social scientists studying the material dimensions of human culture and technological development.
