Description
Two previously unpublished lectures charting the renowned anthropologistâ?Ts intellectual engagement with the sixteenth-century French essayist Michel de Montaigne In January 1937, between the two ethnographic trips he would describe in Tristes Tropiques, Claude LAcvi-Strauss gave a talk to the ConfAcdAcration gAcnAcrale du travail in Paris. Only recently discovered in the archives of the BibliothA"que national de France, this lecture, â?oEthnography: The Revolutionary Science,â?? discussed the French essayist Michel de Montaigne, to whom LAcvi-Strauss would return in remarks delivered more than a half-century later, in the spring of 1992. Bracketing the career of one of the most celebrated anthropologists of the twentieth century, these two talks reveal how LAcvi-Straussâ?Ts ethnography begins and ends with Montaigneâ?"and how his reading of his intellectual forebear and his understanding of anthropology evolve along the way. Published here for the first time, these lectures offer new insight into the development of ethnography and the thinking of one of its most important practitioners. Essays by Emmanuel DAcsveaux, who edited the original French volume De Montaigne A Montaigne, and Peter Skafish expand the context of LAcvi-Straussâ?Ts talks with contemporary perspectives and commentary.
