Claude Levi- Strauss Structuralism Durkheim
(played a critical influence) |
Structuralism concerned with the
meaning of different social practices. Meaning is something to be uncovered, it
is not transparent and self-evident.
Levi-Strauss’s anthropology extends
the linguistic systems of Saussure to other domains of social enquiry – to social
practices of exchange, kinship, food and myths.
We should look at Levi-Strauss’s
critique of Sartre as played out in the Savage Mind.
