Two previously unpublished lectures charting the renowned
anthropologist's 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 Levi-Strauss gave a talk to the Confederation generale du
travail in Paris. Only recently discovered in the archives of the
Bibliotheque national de France, this lecture, "Ethnography: The
Revolutionary Science," discussed the French essayist Michel de
Montaigne, to whom Levi-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 Levi-Strauss's
ethnography begins and ends with Montaigne-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 Desveaux, who edited the original French volume De
Montaigne a Montaigne, and Peter Skafish expand the context of
Levi-Strauss's talks with contemporary perspectives and commentary.
