""Levi-Strauss is a French savant par excellence, a man of extraordinary sensitivity and human wisdom . . . a deliberate stylist with profound convictions and convincing arguments. . . . ["The Raw and the Cooked"] adds yet another chapter to the tireless quest for a scientifically accurate, esthetically viable, and philosophically relevant cultural anthropology. . . . [It is] indispensable reading." "Natural History """
"This collection touches on a wide range of anthropological issues, including family and marriage, myths, and rites, the environment and its representation, and constraint and freedom. The essays encompass more than forty years of analysis and constrain arguments that are as relevant today as they were thirty years ago. "Hardly a field remains untouched sociobiology, linguistics, botany, genetics, psychiatry, esthetics, ecology, politics ..."

"Nella primavera del 1986 Claude Lévi-Strauss tenne a Tokyo le tre conferenze riunite in questo volume. Qui affronta i temi fondamentali della sua opera, attingendo liberamente agli scritti che lo hanno reso celebre e riprendendo i principali argomenti sociali che non hanno mai smesso di inquietarlo, ma soprattutto riflette sull'avvenire possibile dell'antropologia in un mondo che sta per entrare nel XXI secolo. La sua proposta è che ess ..."
"È un Levi-Strauss innamorato profondamente della civiltà giapponese quello che i lettori ritrovano in questo volume che raccoglie testi scritti tra il 1979 e il 2001. Molto sappiamo delle antiche civiltà egizia, greca e romana ma ancora pochissimo delle tradizioni e i costumi delle popolazioni delle isole nipponiche. Levi-Strauss ci mostra come il Giappone sia stato e sia un ponte culturale tra l'Europa e l'area del Pacifico, conducendo ..."
"In Soma, Belgian artist Carsten Höller (born 1961) traces the myth of the titular healing drink made by Vedic nomads in northern India during the second century BC. Drinking soma was thought to provide access to the divine. This publication collects writings on soma, from the early eighteenth century to the present, on which Höller drew for his most recent hallucinatory installation."
"Esta segunda Antropología estructural reúne textos de Claude Lévi-Stratuss dispersos hasta ahora, y a veces de difícil acceso, escogidos de tal suerte que hasta un lector poco familiarizado con los problemas de la etnología contemporánea consiga conocer, mediante muestras representativas, la actitud y el proceder de la antropología estructural. Luego de varios trabajos consagrados al pasado y al porvenir de esta disciplina y al deslinde ..."

"Publié quinze ans après "Anthropologie structurale", ce livre rassemble dix-huit textes antérieurs ou postérieurs, devenus presque tous inaccessibles. Les textes ont été choisis et distribués afin qu'un lecteur peu familier avec les problèmes de l'ethnologie contemporaine puisse comprendre la façon dont l'anthropologie structurale les aborde et croit pouvoir les résoudre. Qu'il s'agisse de l'histoire de la discipline ou de son champ d'a ..."
"On Christmas Eve 1951, Santa Claus was hanged and then publicly burned outside of the Cathedral of Dijon in France. That same decade, ethnologists began to study the indigenous cultures of central New Guinea, and found men and women affectionately consuming the flesh of the ones they loved. "Everyone calls what is not their own custom barbarism," said Montaigne. In these essays, Claude Lévi-Strauss shows us behavior that is bizarre, sho ..."

"Gathering for the first time all of Claude Levi-Strauss s writings on Japanese civilization, "The Other Face of the Moon" forms a sustained meditation into the French anthropologist s dictum that to understand one s own culture, one must regard it from the point of view of another. Exposure to Japanese art was influential in Levi-Strauss s early intellectual growth, and between 1977 and 1988 he visited the country five times. The essay ..."
""The Origin of Table Manners is the third volume of a tetralogy devoted to American Indian mythology. Unlike the first two volumes (The Raw and the Cooked, From Honey to Ashes), which are devoted to South American myths, the present one establishes relations with North America, which is the subject of the fourth (The Naked Man). . . . In the course of the analysis, the myths link up with ideas of more general interest. Thus, we find dis ..."
