Combines in one volume Technics and Language and Memory and Rhythms, the cornerstones of Leroi-Gourhan's comprehensive theory of human behavior and cultural development Andrà Leroi-Gourhan (1911-1986) was an anthropologist and paleontologist whose theoretical endeavors extended well beyond those realms to encompass the culture of the twentieth century and its most advanced developments. His bold and coherent revision of both analytic and archaeological methods revolutionized the study of prehistoric culture. His adoption of the structuralist method for the analysis of prehistoric art enabled a radical rethinking and clearer understanding of its nature, with resulting implications for the understanding of the art of our own times, and for a broad range of contemporary issues.Leroi-Gourhan was, for example, concerned with questions of communication, particularly the ways in which new techniques of communication reshape our understanding of language and writing. His work in this field has proved catalytic for the thinking of other major theorists, among them Jacques Derrida. Gesture and Speech combines in one volume Technics and Language and Memory and Rhythms, which are the cornerstones of Leroi-Gourhan's comprehensive theory of human behavior and cultural development. In Technics and Language, Leroi-Gourhan looks at prehistoric technology in relation to the development of cognitive and linguistic faculties, expanding on the cultural ramifications of erect posture, a short face, a free hand during locomotion, and possession of movable implements.Memory and Rhythms approaches its subject from the standpoints of sociology and aesthetics. Here Leroi-Gourhan addresses the problems of instinct and intelligence. He defines the relationship between aesthetic behavior, on the one hand, and species attitudes and the personalization of ethnic groups, on the other, and undertakes a sweeping aesthetic analysis from visceral perception to figurative art, including a discussion of the "language of forms" that makes figurative art an abstract expression of language.… (meer)

Dopo Evolution et Techniques, nei cui due volumi venivano ricercate le origini del lungo cammino che avrebbe portato, nel secolo scorso, alla civiltà delle macchine, André Leroi-Gourhan ci ha dato, con 77 gesto e la parola, anch'esso suddiviso in due parti, una eccezionale sintesi paleontologica ed etnologica (Tecnica e linguaggio), da un lato, sociologica ed estetica {La memoria e i ritmi), dall'altro, della progressiva «liberazione» della specie umana attraverso il suo comportamento materiale nello spazio e nel tempo (dalla liberazione della mano, dell'utensile, della forza, fino a quella della memoria). Una sintesi in cui il passato più remoto entra in rapporto diretto con il futuro più vicino, al di là della situazione dell'«uomo immediato» (quello del nostro fugace presente), ancora situato entro i confini dell'homo sapiens, quando il mito di un trasferimento cosmico ha già preso consistenza. «A tutti i livelli di civiltà, fin dai tempi più remoti - scrive l'Autore all'inizio del primo volume - una delle preoccupazioni fondamentali dell'uomo è stata la ricerca delle sue origini. Ancora oggi tutti gli uomini di cultura, non sapendo dove sono diretti, nutrono lo stesso desiderio dei loro antenati di sapere da dove provengono». E, al termine del secondo volume, dopo avere respinto l'ipotesi apocalittica di una distruzione atomica, afferma fiduciosamente: «È meglio puntare sull'uomo. Possiamo immaginare l'uomo di un avvenire prossimo deciso, in seguito a una presa di coscienza, a restare sapiens. La specie è ancora troppo legata alle sue radici per non cercare spontaneamente quell'equilibrio che l'ha portata a diventare umana». È un'affermazione che può essere condivisa, anche se, liberato grazie alla sua stessa evoluzione, l'uomo della zoologia si trova « probabilmente al termine della sua carriera».L'opera di André Leroi-Gourhan, professore alla Sorbona, reca l'impronta della sua duplice formazione tecnologica e linguistica (ha perfezionato i suoi studi di linguistica con ricerche effettuate in Estremo Oriente). Ha pubblicato: Bestiaire du Bronze chinois (1936), La civilisatìon du renne (1936), Documents pour l'art compare d'Eurasie septentrionale (1943), L'homme et la matière (1943), Evolution et Techniques (1943-1945), Archeologìe du Pacifique Nord (1946), Hommes de la préhistoire (1955), Les religions de la préhistoire (1964). Sono apparsi inoltre suoi contributi nei seguenti volumi: L'histoire et ses méthodes (1967), Ethnologie generale (1968), La préhistoire (1968). Dirige il Centre de documentation et recherches préhistoriques e il Centre de formation pour les recherches ethnologiques. Sotto la sua guida si sono formati un centinaio di etnologi francesi e di altre nazionalità. ( )

A superb, remarkable, and unique book that concerns not only our distant and recent past, but also our present and future. Deserves a far wider readership. ( )
