Come on people where are the comments on Structural Anthropology!
You should see what anthropologists of the late 1800s had to say about the different cultures, tribes, peoples they encountered and studied. Very politically incorrect Such as people in the near tropics are "ruled by their passions" IE incapable of logical thought
Actually Levi-Strauss’ writings about the cultural role of the trickster is very relevant to the current political environment.
I’m hot and cold on that issue.
Exactly. Show some respect, people. (Thinking furiously) I...uh...always read structural anthropology with jeans on...
Seriously, holy crap - I didn't know the guy was still around. Made the big century mark, he did. Good on him. I have to wonder - maybe I'll take this opportunity to read it - how he felt about the neo-Marxists who have so inundated the field.

LOL! Really, the guy was a major deal in anthro. I’m sorry to read of his passing; tho I admit to thinking he must have died years ago.
Everyone should take a class or two in cultural anthropology. Maybe some FReepers wouldn’t issue some of the idiotic statements that they do if they understood people and culture better.
I used one of his ideas in a paper on lithic technology. My archaeology professor thought it was interesting as Structural Anth is strongly tied to the Cultural Anth part of the subject.
I must admit I didn’t think he was still alive. As others have said, I might have to dust off one of his books and re-read it.
