I admire Claude
Lévi-strauss. He was a French anthropologist and ethnologist whose applied structuralism
to knish system, to cultural anthropology and to study of classification and
myths. He received numerous honors from university and institutions throughout
the world and he is recognized like “the father of modern anthropology”.One of its
principal postulates is that the “savage” mind had the same structures as the “civilized”
mind and the human structures characteristics are the same everywhere. All this
work culminated in his famous book “Tristes Tropiques” that establish his
position as one of the central figures in the structuralism school of thought. I like him because in class we had to read a
small text that he wrote and it’s really interesting because his ideas are so
contrived and innovative, he is different from the rest. Even thought I had a
bad great in the evaluation of that text because at first I don’t understand
his ideas, now I think that hi is a really good anthropology and his theories
are very complete. Tuesday, November 7, 2017

ReplyDeleteI also had a bad mark in the evaluation (how sad it was...). I hope that you have a nice day. <3
ReplyDeleteThe atom of parentage is something very complicated of the structuralism.I will read "Tristes tropiques". I love you and forgive me please
ReplyDeleteHe it's very complicated and maybei we will never understand what he said at all. I wish the next year will be not so full of Levi-Strauss.
ReplyDeleteStrauss is a very difficult author but his explanations are SO interesting. I hope someday to understand it well
ReplyDeleteI love his studies related with linguistic, but he is a difficult author to read.
ReplyDeleteI think that all us went wrong in that assessment, levi strauss is an important anthropologist and ethnologist but is difficult to both understand it
ReplyDeletehis papers for me are so confusing but I like so much his investigations haha
