Designed to provoke controversy, the papers in this volume
concentrate on two main themes: the study of myth and totemism.
Starting with an English translation of La Geste d'Asdiwal, which
is widely considered to be the most brilliant of all of
Levi-Strauss's shorter expositions of his technique of myth
analysis, the volume also contains criticism of this essay. The
second part of the volume discusses how far Levi-Strauss's
treatment of totemism as a system of category formation can be
correlated with the facts that an ethnographer encounters in the
field. First published in 1967.
