The published work of Claude Levi--Strauss over the last three and
a half decades has established him as one of the worlda s most
innovative anthropologists. Yet throughout this period he was
maintaining a full taching commitment in Paris. The pieces in
Anthropology and Myth illustrate (in his own words) a the efforts,
the tentative advances and retreats and now and again the
achievements of a thought process during some thirty--two years
that amount to a large propotion of an individual life and the span
of a generationa . Levi--Strauss used to the lecture theatre as a
workshop in which to try out and develop new ideas, and many of the
familiar themes of his books will be found here: analysis of myth
and ritual, totemism, kinship, marriage and social structure.
Offering a unique glimpse of the genesis of such subjects
throughout his teaching career, this book provides a sketchbook of
the themes painted elsewhere in larger, more finished form, and
thus forms a document of vital importance for the history of
anthropological thought.
