Description

Discover the work of one of the most acclaimed figures in twentieth-century anthropology and archaeology. This collection from the University of Chicago Press brings the essential writings of Andre Leroi-Gourhan to the Anglophone world. While his intellectual impact in France is comparable to Claude Levi-Strauss, much of his work has remained largely unknown to English speakers until now. This volume provides a curated selection of his most important texts spanning the 1930s to the 1970s. Many of these writings are being translated into English for the first time, offering a rare opportunity to study his theories directly. The collection explores his influence on the field, including his development of a theory of technology that examines how material culture focuses on the object in use. Part of the Cultural Histories of the Material World series, this book serves as a vital resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in the evolution of human technology and social sciences. It bridges a significant gap in archaeological literature by presenting the foundational ideas that shaped modern anthropological thought.
