In France, his intellectual importance rivals that of the Claude Lévi-Strauss, yet Leroi-Gourhan's major contributions are almost entirely unknown in the Anglophone world. This collection seeks to change that. This selection highlights some of his chief influences, such as elaborating a theory of technology, which argues that material culture focuses on the object in use and how use is a dynamic feature that has specific consequences for human evolution and human society. With serious ramifications for our understanding of material culture, putting Leroi-Gourhan's thinking about technology into English will have an immediate and transformative impact on material culture studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e André Leroi-Gourhan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1941792146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941792148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bard Graduate Center\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"André Leroi-Gourhan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44966066258175,"sku":"9781941792148","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img.jpg?v=1711158778","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/andr-leroi-gourhan-on-technology-andr-leroi-gourhan-9781941792148","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
