The best in my area


Hi classmates! Well this task is not very easy for me because I don't know who is the best in my field. I can't say that I like some anthropologist's ideas very much in order to choose him/her as my favourite.
I will choose Claude Lévi-Strauss because I have heard about him and also because his theory is one of the most important ones in anthropology. It has impacted other areas of knowledge.
Claude Lévi Strauss (1908-) is a french anthropology and founder of structuralism, a theory that postulates that despite the differences between cultures there are similar patterns that can be identified. Lévi Strauss based in linguistic methods in order to create his theory. I can't say much about structuralism because I don know much about it.I hope next years I can explain it better. Some of his books are: Structural Anthropology (1958), The Savage Mind (1966) and Tristes Tropiques (1955).

See you soon!

Bye
