This applies to figures from Durkheim to Derrida, Mauss to Foucault, though there are partial exceptions, such as Lévi-Strauss and Bourdieu. It has led to a contrast being made, especially perhaps in the Anglo-Saxon world, between French theory relying on rational inference, and British empiricism based on induction and generally skeptical of theory. While there are contrasts between the two traditions, this is essentially a false view. It is this aspect of French anthropology that this collection addresses, in the belief that the neglect of many of these figures outside France is seriously distorting our view of the French tradition of anthropology overall. At the same time, the collection will provide a positive view of the French tradition of ethnography, stressing its combination of technical competence and the sympathies of its practitioners for its various ethnographic subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t“\u003cem\u003eThis volume is fascinating and, in my view, particularly interesting in that it offers a considerable contribution to the history (even ethno-history) of anthropology\u003c\/em\u003e.”  \u003cstrong\u003e·  L’Homme\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of illustrations\u003cbr\u003e \tList of authors discussed in this volume\u003cbr\u003e \tPreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/b\u003e Ethnographic practice and theory in France\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eRobert Parkin\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAnne de Sales\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e ‘Keeping your eyes open’: Arnold van Gennep and the autonomy of the folkloristic\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eGiordano Charuty\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e Canonical ethnography: Hanoteau and Letourneux on Kabyle communal law\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003ePeter Parkes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e Postcards at the service of the Imaginary: Jean Rouch, shared anthropology and the ciné-trance\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003ePaul Henley\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e Eric de Dampierre and the art of fieldwork\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMargaret Buckner\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e What sort of anthropologist was Paul Rivet?\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eLaura Rival\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/b\u003e Alfred Métraux: empiricist and romanticist\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003ePeter Rivière\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Bastide or the 'darknesses of alterity'\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eStefania Capone\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/b\u003e The art and craft of ethnography: Lucien Bernot, 1919–1993\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eGérard Toffin\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/b\u003e André-Georges Haudricourt: a thorough materialist\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eAlban Bensa\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 10.\u003c\/b\u003e Louis Dumont: from museology to structuralism via India\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eRobert Parkin\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 11.\u003c\/b\u003e Will the real Maurice Leenhardt please stand up?
