Claude Lévi-Strauss - Wikiquote Claude Lévi-Strauss describes (though to illustrate a different point) a captain at sea, his ship reduced to a frail raft without sails, who, by enforcing a meticulous protocol on his crew, is able to distract them from nostalgia for a safe harbor and from the desire for a destination. Any attempt to codify musical reality into a kind of imitation grammar (I refer mainly to the efforts associated with the Twelve-Tone System) is a brand of fetishism which shares with Fascism and racism the tendency to reduce live processes to immobile, labeled objects, the tendency to deal with formalities rather than substance. en.wikiquote.org /wiki/Claude_L%C3%A9vi-Strauss   (843 words)

Claude Lévi-Strauss et la << pensée sauvage >> In Elementary structures of kinship (1949), Claude Lévi-Strauss analysed the prohibition of incest as a positive means of ensuring the communication and exchange of women between groups; he considered it as the key factor in the transition from nature to civilisation. True, Claude Lévi-Strauss' background is in philosophy and ethnology was merely a circuitous means of reflecting on mankind, the real, ultimate objective of his approach. Born in Brussels, in 1908, into an artistic and affluent family, Claude Lévi-Strauss never fell prey to the legend of the "gentle savage". www.france.diplomatie.fr /label_france/ENGLISH/IDEES/LEVI/lev.html   (657 words)

Claude Levi-Strauss The most comprehensive, precise, and up-to-date account of the work of Claude Lévi-Strauss yet written (and Lévi-Strauss's favorite presentation of his own work), this book offers an unparalleled view of the thought of the man who single-handedly reinvented anthropology. With close attention to the wide range of knowledge that informs Lévi-Strauss's work, Marcel Hénaff has written an authoritative and accessible analysis of Lévi-Strauss's research in anthropological theory and practice as well as his contributions to the debates surrounding linguistics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics.

LEVISTRA.LEC Claude Levi-Strauss is a French anthropologist, most well-known for his development of structural anthropology. In his book The Elementary Structures of Kinship, Levi-Strauss argued that kinship relations--which are fundamental aspects of any culture's organization--represent a specific kind of structure; you might think of genealogical charts, with their symbols for father and mothers, sisters and brothers, as an example of kinship systems represented as structures.

Amazon.com: Claude Levi-Strauss: Books: Edmund Leach Claude Levi-Strauss, Professor of Social Anthropology at the College de France, is, by common consent, the most distinguished exponent of this particular academic trade to be found anywhere outside the English-speaking world, but scholars who call themselves social anthropologists are of two kinds. In this lucide guide to the often abstruse works of Claude Lévi-Strauss, Edmund Leach synthesizes the thought of one of the twentieth century's greatest anthropologists and provides a thoughtful introduction to the theory and practice of structuralism. Leach organizes his work not by chronology but by theme, exploring three important topics in Lévi-Strauss's work: human beings and their symbols, the structure of myth, and kinship theory. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0226469689?v=glance   (784 words)

Partisan Review Under the circumstances, Claude Lévi-Strauss’s decision to move away from philosophy and embrace a related, yet nascent, discipline was bold. Here, your name shall be Claude L. Strauss.’ I asked why and they said, ‘The students would find it funny, because of the blue jeans.’ And so I lived in the U.S. for many years with a mutilated surname. Many years before the "mutilation" of his name, Claude Lévi-Strauss had encountered the United States by reading American social scientists. www.bu.edu /partisanreview/archive/2000/2/cohen-solal.html   (2830 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Books: Myth and Meaning (Routledge Classics) The type of explanation Levi Strauss gives of these myths is at best tenuous but some of his suggestions are delightfully innovative and sincere and the fieldwork is of interest in itself. Debunking the idea of the ‘primitive’ Levi Strauss endeavours to show certain correspondences between societies ‘without writing’ and methods of science in the modern western world. However, the lecture context is altogether too ephemeral to allow one to see the extent to which the various explanations arise out of systematic treatment rather than authorial whim. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/0415253942   (916 words)

Amazon.com: Books: Tristes Tropiques For Levi- Strauss and this I remember, the ' primitive mind' is not ' primitive at all' and may be in its linguistic complexity and social structure far more intricate than the ' civilized ' as it were sophisticated worlds we believe we live in. I do remember however the somewhat majestic tone, the tone of restrained sadness of quiet mourning which seemed to go through the work as Levi- Strauss met with worlds being lost and deterorating, in part through their meetings with the very kind of Western mind he himself exemplified. I understand though that the real voyage is into and along with the mind of Levi- Strauss itself, a mind much more complicated than I was ordinarily used to meeting and ingesting. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0140165622?v=glance   (2297 words)

James Deetz, SHA Keynote Address, 1995 Are we really prepared to jettison the works and thoughts of people such as E. Tylor, Franz Boas, A. Kroeber, Leslie White or Claude Lévi-Strauss, to name but a very few? I think not, and would suggest that what might make better sense would be to create parallel and separate agendas, one for those who find the culture concept useful in reaching some basic understandings of the human condition, and the other for those those who choose behavioral explanations. Leaving aside the simple fact that behavior can be seen as a product of culture, regardless of which of the many definitions we choose to employ, such a perspective is a reflection of a century or more of thoughtful insight. etext.lib.virginia.edu /users/deetz/Plymouth/JDeetzmem6.html   (2742 words)

travel Often, as Claude L‚vi-Strauss argued, the performance of such myths effectively resettles social relations back on firm ground, legitimating practice while assuring practicioners that their way is the only way. From the time of Giambattista Vico (1668-1744) ethnologists have also contended that Westerners do not make use of myths, but rely instead on "the new science" (as his book was titled), knowledge and practice which are objective, impartial, and freed from the fetters of mythological thought. www.uwm.edu /People/wash/poplectravel.htm   (3174 words)

AEJMC Archives -- September 1999, week 5 (#2) Claude L vi-Strauss (1968) applied Saussure's ideas to anthropology.

Mythology 2 Some structuralists, such as the French anthropologist Claude L*vi-Strauss, have emphasized the presence of the same logical patterns in myths throughout the world. In earlier anthropology, "primitive mentality" was characterized by the inability to make distinctions, by a sense of "mystic participation" or identity between man, his cosmos, and all other beings. www.crystalinks.com /mythology2.html   (4145 words)

Mythology 3 That a particularly close connection exists between myth and music has been argued by Claude L*vi-Strauss. His treatment is divided into such subsections as "The 'Good Manners' Sonata," "Fugue of the Five Senses," and "The Opossum's Cantata." In Myth and Meaning (1978) L*vi-Strauss returned to the link between myth and music, which had proved difficult for his readers to understand. The continuing potency of the myth (including its tragic conclusion--Orpheus is forbidden to look back at his wife but does so and thus loses her again) is shown by the fact that it has been retold in Europe by numerous composers of opera since the early 17th century. www.crystalinks.com /mythology3.html   (4140 words)
