    Winner of the Modern Language Association's Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for Comparative Literary StudiesWho speaks? The author as producer, the contingency of the text, intertextuality, the "device"—core ideas of modern literary theory—were all pioneered in the shadow of oral literature. Authorless, loosely dated, and variable, oral texts have always posed a challenge to critical interpretation. When it began to be thought that culturally significant texts—starting with Homer and the Bible—had emerged from an oral tradition, assumptions on how to read these texts were greatly perturbed. Through readings that range from ancient Greece, Rome, and China to the Cold War imaginary, The Ethnography of Rhythm situates the study of oral traditions in the contentious space of nineteenth- and twentieth-century thinking about language, mind, and culture. It also demonstrates the role of technologies in framing this category of poetic creation. By making possible a new understanding of Maussian "techniques of the body" as belonging to the domain of Derridean "arche-writing," Haun Saussy shows how oral tradition is a means of inscription in its own right, rather than an antecedent made obsolete by the written word or other media and data-storage devices

    Seit dem frühen Tode von Parry und der posthumen Herausgabe seiner Schriften durch seinen Sohn (mit einer langen Einleitung, die die außergewöhnliche Leistung des Vaters unterstrich) bewegt sich die Literatur über Parry in der Spannung zwischen zwei Polen: auf der einen Seite steht die Idee, Parry habe die Forschung über Homer und über mündliche Poesie revolutioniert; auf der anderen die Vorstellung, Parry müsse vor allem als Träger und Weiterführer vieler Forschungstraditionen – der deutschen Philologie, der russischen und jugoslawischen Epenforschung, der amerikanischen Anthropologie und Folkloristik, der französischen Linguistik und Anthropologie – gelten. Uns interessiert hier weniger, ob Parry als Entdecker des wahren Homers oder als der "Darwin der Homer-Forschung" angesehen werden kann, sondern inwiefern wir seinen Forschungen etwas für die heutigen Diskussionen um Literatur und Anthropologie entnehmen können.
