(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Leenhardt was born in Montauban.At the beginning of the twentieth century, Protestant authorities concerned themselves with the evangelisation of the Kanaks, in competition with the Marist Brothers. Maurice Leenhardt was named pastor in 1902 in New Caledonia where he founded the “D\u00f6 n\u00e8v\u00e2” mission in the valley of Houailou. Going beyond his role of pastor, he applied himself to understanding the mentality of these people.When he arrived in New Caledonia, Maurice Leenhardt was welcomed by these words from the mayor of Noum\u00e9a: What have you come to do here? In ten years there will be no more Kanaks. He applied himself to the fight against this slow genocide; he combatted the alcoholism that slowly ravaged the Kanak people. He translated the New Testament into the Houa\u00eflou language with the help of his first students.He returned to France in 1927 where he founded the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des Oc\u00e9anistes and the Mus\u00e9e de l’Homme, and took the chair of Lucien L\u00e9vy-Bruhl at the \u00c9cole des Hautes \u00c9tudes en Sciences Sociales.Following a second stay of nearly ten years in New Caledonia, he began teaching Oceanic languages at the Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales in 1944.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4He died in Paris.Leenhardt’s daughter Stella married the historian of religions and theologian Henry Corbin (1933).Contributions to Ethnology[edit]Maurice Leenhardt’s contributions to ethnology are considerable, though he did not frame them theoretically.Before Bronislaw Malinowski, he practiced the ethnology advocated by Marcel Mauss from his office in Paris. For twenty-five years he practiced participant observation and active research, the virtues of which were not rediscovered until the 1960s.Maurice Leenhardt was not a dogmatist and through all these contributions, he never sought followers.He was nevertheless one of the first to consider social phenomena in their totality and to study the art, myths, and customs of the Kanak people as well as their language.Le Mouvement \u00e9thiopien au sud de l’Afrique (1902)La Grande Terre (1909, expanded edition 1922)Traduction du Nouveau Testament en langue houa\u00eflou (1922)Notes d’ethnologie n\u00e9o-cal\u00e9donienne (1930)Documents n\u00e9o-cal\u00e9doniens.
