The book brilliantly traces the development and influence of Lévi-Strauss' thought, from his early work on the function of the incest taboo to initiate an exchange of women between groups, to his identification of a timeless “wild” or “primitive” mode of thinking – a pensée sauvage – behind the processes of human culture. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccessibly written by Boris Wiseman and beautifully illustrated by Judy Groves, Introducing Lévi-Strauss also explores the major contribution that Lévi-Strauss made to contemporary aesthetic history – his work on American-Indian mythology provides a key insight into the way in which art itself comes into being. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"icon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50483138789707,"sku":"1012218","price":1.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/introducing-levi-strauss","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
