Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. Explorations in the Ethnography of Speaking, edited by Richard Bauman and Joel Sherzer.

Educated in anthropology in Paris under Claude Lévi-Strauss and later at the University of Chicago, Tarn conducted fieldwork among the Maya of Guatemala and in Burma before turning increasingly toward a life devoted to literature and cultural criticism. He was widely recognized for his own poetry, for his influential translations of Pablo Neruda and other major international writers, and for his role in introducing world literature to English-language audiences.

A cornerstone in linguistic anthropology and sociolinguistics, this volume gathers pioneering essays that define the field's analytical framework-examining speech events, performance, and verbal art across diverse cultures.
