Good news!

Matt Tomlinson and I are truly happy to announce that our new edited volume, The Monologic Imagination, will be available in June of 2017. This book has its origins in a meeting we held in Melbourne in 2014, funded by the Monash Research Accelerator Program.

The book will appear in Oxford’s Studies in Anthropology of Language series, and includes great chapters by Greg Urban, Jon Bialecki, Alan Rumsey, Kristina Wirtz, Zane Goebel, James Barry, Jane Goodman, and Philip Fountain, as well as Matt and myself. Commentaries by Don Kulick, Courtney Handman and Krista Van Vleet are added throughout the chapters. These provide terrific reflections on the chapters.

Matt and I thank all the authors and our friends at Oxford for their great work on this project!

•The volume sets a course for future research-pioneering an argument about the force of monologue in political and religious speech.

•Explores the interplay between monologism and dialogism.

•Presents vivid ethnographic case studies come from a wide range of societies: the United States, Iran, Cuba, Indonesia, Algeria, and Papua New Guinea.

•The volume is theoretically sophisticated but accessibly written for a general audience
