Learning outcomes

This seminars aim is to take a closer look at some of the central themes and key principles in the work of the French structuralist and anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss. As an experiment in an alternative approach to intellectual history the individual probes follow the development of his conceptual models as a dense network of contingent and necessary crossroads in the life of individuals and ideas in the Arts and sciences of the day. A more productive appreciation of the foundational dualism of his structural anthropology makes for these lectures unifying goal: Levi-Strausss characteristically Cartesian approach with its strict adherence to a binary logic nevertheless engenders a modal operator, the 'logic of concrete' that can transform the mundane and inevitable into the possible that is also beautiful.
