Pregnant Green Black Poo

Levi Strauss

There are works that are so huge and have so often been commented on, discussed, they become intimidating. So, paradoxically, it is said to address them it is better to start with introductions, manuals, books deemed to be "more accessible", which are still different access at work, and are often limited to repeat About the author's original, and less clearly. Unable to

still easily read the source, and to exit this vicious circle, the format video / DVD offers a way out. Interviews Claude Levi-Strauss is a great way to become familiar with the work of the man whose centenary is celebrated here and the Pantheon's editorial library of the Pleiades. With extreme clarity, Levi-Strauss says its work, without avoiding criticism made to them, and always placing them in historical, cultural, scientific with great modesty, and an infinite accuracy, which is admirable.

DVD Claude Levi-Strauss proposed by Editions Montparnasse consists of the entire exchange (5:00), and a selection of excerpts that can go around the work in less than an hour. This is a great opportunity to penetrate the heart of the development process and issues raised by the mythological, the basic structures of kinship, see presentation in simple terms, and free from the gloss that usually surrounds it, the meaning of work of the father of French structuralism. Great time guaranteed.

In the abundant literature that accompanies the volume output of Levi-Strauss in the library of the galaxy, see the fascinating interview published on the site Nonfiction, in three parts, I , II and III .
