Synopsis
Edwin Ardener was a social anthropologist known for his work on social, economic, demographic and political problems and his sustained effort to bring together social anthropologists and linguists in an attempt to reconcile scientific and humanistic approaches to the study of man. "The Voice of Prophecy" aims to bring together the best of Ardener's papers since 1971, which have until now been scattered in various publications or have remained unpublished, and demonstrates how social anthropology and linguistics are transformed by their mutual contact. The compilation and editing of the book was completed after Edward Ardener's death in 1987 by his student and colleague Malcolm Chapman, who has contributed a biographical and critical introduction and a complete bibliography of his writings.

Présentation de l'éditeur
His voice is as deeply needed as ever. Ardener anticipated numerous central issues in the social sciences today...This publishing event will achieve something much more significant still: a long-overdue recognition that Ardener not only forged ahead of today s mainstream but bequeathed a legacy of ideas that can regenerate and redirect anthropological thought today. This new edition will allow a new and more receptive audience to come to grips with Ardener s distinctive mode of analysis and understanding, bringing it more clearly into the mainstream of anthropological thought not only as a historical contribution but also, and especially, as a source of new reflections. (From the Foreword)
Biographie de l'auteur
Edwin Ardener was one of the most important social anthropologists in Britain of his time, working on social, economic, demographic and political problems and particularly influential in his sustained effort to bring together social anthropology and linguistics in a highly original attempt to reconcile scientific and humanistic approaches to the study of society. This volume offers the best of Ardener s papers and forms a theoretically and conceptually coherent body of work by this innovative and profound thinker, which will continue to excite and stimulate new generations of students and researchers as it did in the past.
